GREAT PHONE! Except the phone part, go figure...

[jaystemple]

Does anyone else have more and more people you talk to on the phoen complain about call quality? I have had a xv6700 and xv6800 which werent all that great as far as call quality goes, but I never even had home phone service. Verizon IS my phone service. Now, with the Droid, people are unable to understand or hear me in locations I never had problems in the past, when they complain they cant hear me I instictively look at my bars... they are always full or 3 out of 4 bars.

I sometimes have to end up yelling and talking like an idiot for people to understand my conversation with them and it makes it not even worth using as a phone...

All other features of the 'phone' are awesome.

Anyone else had this experience and know any way to fix or improve upon it?
Thanks in advance

My call quality is great... best of any phone I've owned.
Only issue I've come across is when in bed... people complain they can't hear me when I'm laying down... I sit up and the problem goes away.... maybe something with the position of the phone?

[jaystemple]

Interesting, all my conversations are upright... what about your signal strength... same as previous phones? better? Worse?

[Martin030908]

Signal strength is good. I would say much better than my BB Storm...

I've been with verizon for many many years and I have never lost a call anywhere where I say to myself, I really shouldn't have service out here.

They have the best coverage period and every phone I've had relays that too.

mayb an isolated incident?

[jaystemple]

Totally agree with you. Verizon is the best hands down, been with them for 6 years... thats why this is so strange for me but I can see it is either isolated or jst my phone...

no quality issues here. best i've ever heard/had. the noise cancellation is far superior to any phone i've used before - almost at an analog level.

[Martin030908]

Might be the phone.... take it in to VZW to see if it's an issue that warrants an exchange.

Yeah see if they'll exchange it because my Droid has EXCELLENT call quality. That was even a huge part of the reviews on the Droid was how clear calls were on it.
