While people are busy comparing OSes and No of Apps, does anyone realize that the latest top phones such as HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S, SE Xperia X10 (including most if not all Android Phones), the Apple Iphone4, Nokia N8 all only have mono loudspeaker while the Nokia N900 has stereo loudspeakers. As far as i can remember, most if not all NSeries devices featured Stereo loudspeakers such as N73 and N95, and i simply cannot accept N8 to be the first NSeries with mono....

In fact i insist on getting smartphone with stereo loudspeakers only which was one of the reasons i chose the N900. The difference between mono and stereo is so huge and can hardly be ignored when you play music, video and ringtones. People may argue that they prefer to use wired or bluetooth headset and loudspeakers mean little to them but i think that is absurd unless they keep wearing their headset 24/7. Having stereo quality speakers means better sharing of media entertainment with others. At least I'm happy that my ringtone sounds much better than those with mono.
