Moshi Moshi 04i Review

All the Moshi Moshi units we have reviewed so far has been impressive, in terms of design, function and overall quality. The Moshi Moshi MM04i has got to be the crème de la crème of all the other models in almost all aspects. Before you head out to the nearest shop to buy one, we'd like to help you decide if this unit is for you.

Packaging is frustration free! Remove the seal on the left and right and just lift the top portion of the clear case. The cables, chargers and manuals are inside the white box below of it.

The Moshi Moshi MM01, MM02, MM03 and MM05 were designed by David Turpin. He got his inspiration from retro and modern phones For this unit, the MM04, it was designed by award winning British designer Michael Young. Here's a bit of who he is:

MICHAEL YOUNG (1966-)is a British-born designer who works from studios in Brussels and Reykjavik to create technically rigorous, but always humorous products and furniture.

In terms of design, you'll never go wrong with the MM04i. Very simple yet strikingly elegant. Put it in an empty desk and it'll project a luxurious aura to the table it's on. The device itself is pleasing to the eyes and comes in silver or copper, it will surely match any furniture you place it on. It's made with a mix of soft touch rubber and plastic. The front face of the handset has a honeycomb-like design. You might notice two holes -- one is for the light indicator and the other for the mic.

On top of the device (when docked), you'll see three buttons. It's also a multi-function button where you can adjust the volume, pause/play a track and track control. At the back of the handset, you can see the power button and a rubber-covered port. That port is where you can insert a 3.5mm cable for non-bluetooth / non-iPhone phones.

It's a multi-function device. You can either use it as a speaker for your iPhone/ iPod, speaker for any bluetooth devices that you have and of course, as a handset. You can also use it as a speaker phone for conference calls.

Pairing via bluetooth is easier with the MM04i. Just press the square button on top and wait for the red and blue blinking light indicator. Other bluetooth devices can be a pain in the *ss to pair other devices with. If you've used bluetooth before, you know what I am talking about. Default code for the bluetooth pairing is four zeroes "0000".

Using it as an iPhone/ iPod dock, just jut the middle portion where Michael Young's signature is on and the dock will smoothly pop out. In case you need to attach a non-bluetooth enabled or non-iPhone device, just use a 3.5mm cable and insert it to the back of the base. You can also do that as previously mentioned by removing the covered port at the back of the handset.

Pros:
-Clear voice quality
-Battery life: 6 to 8 hours
-Elegant design
-Multi-function: Conference call speaker phone, handset, bluetooth speaker, 3.5mm speaker, iPhone/ iPod dock

Cons:
-Easily catches dust (Easy to clean though)
-Price point
