I'm not too imporessed. I've had the phone for 5 days now. I had a Nokia 6800 before this that would give good sound (hearing people, people hearing you) even if the signal was weak (one or two bars). When the signal is weak with this phone, I can barely hear people (their voices braak or sound garbled) and they can barely hear me. So this phone is going back. Note that the phone picks up the signal at the same number of bars when compared to my old phones, its just that it can't handle the sound unless its a strong signal.
