Default P2's specs???

ok there have been many conflicting statements about the P2 having a microphone and/or a speaker for example on this page, http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/d...XAA&fullspec=F, It says (look a little bit down) that it has a microphone but no speaker, while some members have said that the P2 has a speaker but no microphone.
If you find any more info about this please post it here.
EDIT. It also says that there is no voice recording even though there is a microphone which is messed up. This would mean that its only purpose is for talking on it This is confusing. I hope that they add voice recording later on for another pro There also seems to be that it is also a UMS device when a member here said it was only MTP. damn this is confusing

I've read that if there is a lot of demand for the voice recording ability, that Samsung will release it through a firmware update. Reason they didn't do it at first is unknown, for me.

These are some confusing points, but I would say the link above is correct. A built-in mic and no built-in speaker... I think the confusion originally came when the P2 was being displayed in public in a few places before the IFA and before Samsung made any official announcements.

The fact that there is a built-in mic but no voice recording backs TonyT61's points in this post that Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with phones and receiving calls will be added in an upcoming firmware version and that the mic (in combination with headphones, not a built in speaker) will be used. This is the most logical explanation I can come up with, but as far as I know, not as many words have been spoken by Samsung so please tell me if you think I'm mistaken on something.

As for the MTP/UMS confusion, this is because Samsung players are natively UMS/MSC in Asia and MTP in most other regions of the world. I'm not yet sure if one player will be able to switch between the two by installing a different firmware. For example a Samsung U3 running MTP firmware is prevented from upgrading to a UMS firmware. We'll have to wait and see what Samsung has planned for their new players.

The EP-370 are cheap earphones made by Samsung. Not the IEMs which came with the K5, just standard buds. Here's a picture:
