Sound Issues
My husband got this phone about two weeks ago. I noticed that when he's talking to me, it seems to cut out. Sort of.
The reception is fine, but what happens is it sounds like the phone is to his face one second and the next, he's talking to me while holding the phone as far away from his mouth as possible. I can barely hear him. It does this erratically.
Is this a problem with VZW, or the Blackberry? Are Blackberries known for having sound issues (on the other person's end, his end he says is perfectly clear and loud)?
Not sure if we should exchange it as they're finally in stores now and can be easily exchanged, or go towards the Moto Q.
I think we have a few more days before the 15 days are up. So hope to get some answers soo...

I'm going to post this on the main VZW board to see if I get more answers.

I also receive this same complaint from others when talking on this phone, but this is my second one and I had no report of that on the 1st. Is your husband a loud talker? because it could be the compression on the transmitter. One thing to remember with blackberries is that they are email 1st, phone 2nd, but either way they are better than the competition hands down and this 8703e (phonewise) is better than the 8700g (t-mobile) and 8700c (cingular) which are far more frustrating to deal with when it comes to conversation (mainly on speakerphone).
email, on the other hand is another story. since I returned to verizon from t-mobile, i've noticed my email to be significantly slower. Cingular is by far the slowest email with blackberry you co...

Are you still having the problem? And what have you done about it? For him, he doesn't really care, but me, it's darned irritating. lol. I won't even talk to him when he uses his cellphone. Seems useless.
BTW, I don't know about other carriers, but the surfing the web is pretty cool on the BB. lol. He has yet to set up his email (work), so I haven't really seen that feature yet.
Overall, cool phone. And the 15 days are up, so I guess he's slightly stuck with it now. hehehe.
Thanks for the reply.

verizon is sending me another blackberry. the 1st one I received, which was ordered the day it showed up on verizon's website, was perfect! I want to kick myself for letting that one go. I'm on day 4 with this second one...
