I had the Clip 2 and wanted to upgrade to a speaker with speaker phone capability. My friend has the flip 4 and I figured I'd get the 5 since it just came out. CNET review said this speaker had a mic to do phone calls. I just called support to find out it didn't. I feel like a fool and disappointed that they'd do away with this feature.
granted, its a much louder speaker, with some new tweaks... but is not a Stereo speaker on its own... so no Stereo, no thank you!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
