How does the loudspeaker work?
Nokia 5100 has an earpiece and a built-in handsfree speaker. The handsfree loudspeaker allows speaking and listening to the phone from a short distance without having to hold the phone to the ear, for example, having it on a table nearby or in a carrying strap. The loudspeaker can be used during a call and when viewing and playing tones attached in multimedia messages. Also Stereo FM Radio can be played through the handsfree speaker, but the headset needs to be connected since it works as the antenna. Using the loudspeaker makes it easier to use other applications while in a call.
