I didn't return the Galaxy because of this (bluetooth defiency was the reason) but people I called would say, "your new phone sounds bad dude!"
I'd say really? It supposed to be a premiere phone! They said the voice (mine) sounded digitized and would fade in and out sometime. I chalked this up to the noise reduction of the samsung and tried to shut it off. It didn't make a change that off or on. The did, however, sound great to me. But they all said my digitized voice became annoying.
I read they keep cutting the amount of bandwidth your voice can use lower and lower to get more people and data on the waves but people voice sounds worse than on old analog cells from 12 years ago. In Europe they are pushing better sound from the phones...here? we worry about how fast we surf and not how well it functions as an actual phone.
I'm back to the blackberry
for now and everyone says it a AWESOME sounding voice.
I want back to android if OS 4.0 fixes everything....
Am considering a Widows phone--heard 7.5 is ODDLY pretty impressive and easy to use. Blackberry does certain things PERFECT! Voice, texting, email, full image backup but you canNOT surf worth a darn on a BB. Need to move on but need an OS that covers the basics of a smart phone and oddly android moved on to mutlimedia before covering the basics of smart phone
....
oh, I bought mine at bestbuy mobile division of the big electronics store and used it a full month before I sent it back. They have a 30 return policy on phones and TV,stereo etc. The cell phone companies only give you 2 weeks. I needed the 30 to find all the flaws...glad I did.
