I've been digging on Helio phone and features. I cannot find anything that has recording capabilities. I beginning to wonder if she was on the house phone and recorded it with the Helio phone; kind of like the old fashioned way.
I was doing the same thing. LOL
I did find a manual below for a Helio "Kickflip" phone. Came out in 2006. It does have a record feature. Not sure if that was the type of phone she had though. The interesting thing is I read where it was a popular phone for people with Myspace for some reason. I think maybe for music and video recording. We know she loved Myspace too.
Here is part of the manual below, and remember how during the trial the DT only tried to bring in just Travis part. Notice what it says in the manual about not capturing the users voice but it did capture the incoming voice.
And we know her voice and Travis voice was eventually played in court and her voice was always much clearer which makes sense now. We only had trouble with Travis voice.
So I think she did BOTH. I think she recorded his voice with the Helio but also had a regular recorder going while on speakerphone, and then I think she used some sort of application on her computer to re-arrange Travis voice to make it even worse than it was.
She could have easily just had a MIC too, hooked to her computer at the time of her discussions on speakerphone and recorded it directly to her PC.
I do think the Helio part was used to capture Travis voice for editing purposes. I bet Jodi knew the phones features from her Myspace use with videos and music files and she knew how to manipulate the sound tracks. All JMO of course.
