BlackBerry 8830

I've seen several posts but no solutions/resolutions (even from the verizon-wireless post on may 26, 2007). I just got my 8830 last week and it's on 4.2.2.66 and the ringer volume is like the low setting on my 8703. Anybody heard about if/when this is going to be fixed? Otherwise it's going back and I'll wait for a curve. I compared the 8830 to a Cingular 8800 and the 8800 ringer was like my 8703..
