The microphone is [somewhat inexplicably] mounted in the base over a hole that 
faces downwards, between two of the rubber feet, its like a 'U' with a dot 
inside it. If you're feeling brave, you could bore a new hole and mount it 
somewhere its more likely to pick up the voice of the user. Or you could try 
enlarging the hole with the tip of a knife and see if that helps. I fitted a 
few LEDs inside pointing in at the screen because of the lack of a backlight. 
Didn't make much difference.
