movies will feel more booming with Nokia X7-00."
ambisonics assumes a speaker in the midst of an array of speakers that
point more or less in the general direction of
the listener's head. this phone is just a gimmick.
the nokia phone has so little to do with any kind of "spatial sound"

that i hardly know where to begin.This takes me back 10 months ago when I replaced my family 30" lcd tv+sorround system with a tv from Mitsubishi, they had this type of publicity to sale it.. 16-speaker system discrete 5.1 channels..I remember reading that "discrete" word and imagining: hey, no more problem with wife about those ugly looking speakers all around of the living room, and got myself going deep on the economics just to get this tv.Man, you better believe: image on 40" 1080p tv it's way better than my older 30" 720, and for sound, yes they got it right, no more ugly speakers on walls for the room, as well no more rich 5.1 sound, because that is sooo "discrete" too.I miss my real sorround system.I have to get my wife agreed with me, about returning that "ugly" sound system to the place it belongs.GreetingsLeo
on second though, maybe for this special model (bunch of front "surround" speakers) the brand has to be changed to "Mythsubishi". Any way, wife and children are full happy with it.
