the disgruntled Linux surgeon

Getting used to my new phone. I say SE-UIQ3 beats the hell out of Nokia's Symbian Series * , sorry Msameer.

The earphones have little rubber buds that wedge into your outer ear canal and block any noise from the outside. It really is amazing, over an hour in transportation without hearing any noise ! Peace and serenity, reaching home calm and not drained !

The earphones are clear and loud , without being too loud to cause ear damage. It's a good thing too, since even if they were ear damagingly loud, I would still refuse to turn it down. If my hearing power diminishes, I would get hearing aids that have a jack where I can plug in an mp3 player, and a switch to select world -- music.
