Simple Trick with Skype

I know this is a very basic idea, but I have found turning my X51v "Upside Down" when using Skype allows me to hear the speaker (in the D-Pad) much more clearly in a noisy environment, while my mouth is also closer to the microphone.

will standing on my head with the x51v right side up works the same?

Only if you can talk out of your ear, while listening with your mouth :-0

Plantronics now has a straight 3.5mm male to 2.5mm female (both 4 conductor - 1 mic, L. Ear, R. Ear, Gnd) adapter - price is $8.95 (or go to the US distributor's site and save a little money www.skccom.com I think). This allows use of any the many cell phone 2.5mm headsets with the x51.

Skype is great! especially since you can call free anywhere in the US till the end of the year.
