the recorder not cheap ($78 at Sony Wisma - most shops don't
carry this by the way), and the output is 3.5mm jack (same as
earphone and headphone jacks) so you need a machine that can accept
this input (MD recorder, laptop etc but not Nokia phones with
3.5mm jack like N78/N81/N91).
hmm...no wonder. maybe i shud try out with my new phone that i
would be getting quite soon. see if that will be better than my
current phone or not.
