The speaker emits through a tiny pair of slits on the back side of the phone, just above the USB jack. It's amazing how it mutes completely when those slits are covered by a finger or the palm of one's hand, and how loud it is when uncovered again.

I haven't really used it as a speakerphone yet (I'm not a huge voice caller type), but I'll try and exercise that functionality Real Soon Now, and report back here afterward.
