The not-quite-surround-sound cellphone

It's not quite surround sound on a cellphone, but Sanyo's new A5505SA handset does use Spatializer Audio Laboratories' new Spatializer ((environ)) audio enhancing technology, which besides being spelled in a really gimmicky way, is also supposed to be able to get richer sound out of cellphone speakers (the phone does have to have an additional mini-speaker, though). Even without the better sound quality, the A5505SA is nothing to sneeze at: it's got built-in GPS, a digital compass, FM radio, one megapixel digital camera, 2.4-inch LCD screen, and a miniSD
memory card slot. Should come out next month, but as you'd expect with a phone this nice, this one is for Japan only.
