Nokia's cell phone speakers
Nokia MD-6 speakers
(Credit: Kent German/CNET Networks)There's always a lot more to find in a Nokia booth than just the company's phones. Typically, you'll find a gallery of Bluetooth headsets and cell phone accessories that round out the company's offerings. I like to scope out cell phone speakers and I found two models, the MD-6 and the MD-7W. The MD-6 mini-speakers are shaped like a black and red lipstick case. At 4.8 by 1.3 by 1.3 inches, the speakers can be slipped into your pocket with ease, and weigh just 4.9 grams with the four included AA batteries that supply the juice. To expose the speakers, just snap open the case and then connect the MD-6 to your Nokia music phone. The speakers also offer a FM radio antenna, and Nokia promises that you'll be able to get 270 hours of play time.

Sporting a minimalist design in white, the MD-7Ws have clean lines that are quite attractive. At 2 by 4.1 by 2.6 inches and 11.21 ounces, they won't fit in your pocket but you can carry them in a small bag. They support 3D sound and operate off four AA batteries.

speakers. Go get one, I'm sure you'll like it. Do let us know after you get one and confirm if you agree with the audio quality.

- I don't know why anyone needs external speakers for their cell phone, but Ken German likes scoping these babies out for some reason! lol!
