The stylish Nokia looked as if it would be painful to wear, but with the battery compartment hidden behind the lobe like an old-fashioned hearing aid, it proved exactly the opposite.
The speaker sat neatly in the ear, while the boom micropho ne was long enough to give a great performance, but not a in the way, and voice-activated dialling was simple to use. On the downside it was quite expensive and its battery needed topping up with a Nokia phone charger, which limited its appeal.
