No one implements it however. And it is voice-quality mono. I don't think any handset will do what you want out of the box, but if you're good at programming inside symbian maybe you could make one of the symbian phones do it. I suppose that's beyond the level of effort you were hoping for. Brad soraberri wrote: > Hi Marcel, > Maybe I haven't explain myself...
