T23 and Skype

#1 Post by zrequir » Sun Dec 21, 2008 8:23 pm

I am thinking of installing Skype on a couple of T23's. Do these have internal microphones?

I'm a newbie to this site so forgive if already covered earlier.

Yes, they do.
Look at the mic opening under the Arrow Right (-->) key.

I don't know if its just my T21, but even with the microphone volume set to max and the wav playback volume set to max, there is a lot of background hiss and I still have to increase the master volume to hear the playback.

My experience is that the sound quality from the internal mic is pretty poor.

Maybe Skype has some additional software settings that will help.

headphone with microphone?

It might be better just to get a headphone with microphone since there is a jack for a headphone and a microphone. 8) They do not cost a lot of money.
