Bad news? No secondary speaker on the 210
FWIW,
I called someone at HP to confirm whether or not the 210 had a secondary speaker for VOIP capabilities. Granted, this was from an offshore support line and someone who clearly did not know the product. However, he had put me on hold for a few minutes (assuming he was speaking with someone with more product knowledge) before he came back and said there is only one speaker.
If this is true (anyone willing to sacrifice their 210 for science and perform some open surgery?) HP must have left it out due to production costs and/or to meet shipping deadlines. I'm disappointed because using this with Skype or any SIP app would have been really cool. Yes, you can do the same by turning around the 210 and using the main speaker but it still would have been nice to have. I just hate it when a company advertises that it's got something and finding out that it doesn't.
Oh well... I still like it though it has some quirks.
