Guys,

Drove 45 minutes tonight to Woodbridge NJ where the VZW store was happy to sell me a Q..

As you may know from my posts and reviews , I am very picky when it comes to Voice Quality. This has always been very important to me and my colleagues considering these things are phones and the conversation should be crystal clear. The features are secondary but important as well.

I spent many years with AT&T and we did lots of voice quality testing for all kinds of Broadband, IP phones and Voice over DSL which was somewhat invented in our lab in NJ. I do know what sounds good and bad.

Soooo. I am truly dissapointed - My first 5 calls were to friends who are all techno guys who do this testing with me each time there is a new phone i...

🤣 so you bought the phone left the store and started calling friends, 🤣 maybe you should charge the battery fully before doing these lab test 🤣 you came busting onto the forum when the sammy 930 hit and said it was the most big pimpin phone ever, then a few days later said sry guys its really crap. you said you agree with mary and all she said in her review of the 930, is it looks like an old pager, and doesn't have nice curves. 🤣 so will this phone be big pimpin a two days or still junk 🤣 keep up posted with your indepth lab reviews 🤣

In playing around tonight I happened to stumble on some interesting settings. There is an Audio Enhancement section with speaker and headset options. You can change something called Quality and Bass and Surround Sound.. It looks like they built in the SRS surround sound system into the phone to try and better the voice quality and I think they killed it big time.


Dude,
These settings are for the music/video output through the stereo speakers and headphones. They are not there for voice quality and are likely automatically disabled when a call is picked up.

Have you ever owned a high-end CD/DVD player?

off topic: what's the deal with the new up-convert HD-DVD players??? Are they better than regular progressive scan dealies when being connected to a regular non-HDTV?

Hey DCA -

I am a big fan of Blue ray - I have not been blown away by the HD DVD players - We sell them and they suck - The SOny and Pioneer and Samsung Blue Rays next month are going to be awesome with full 1080P output not 1080i like the HDDVD

Save for one of those , I can help you when you are ready - We have 60 of the Sony's on order 🙂

Gravy, I wish you were wrong but you are 100% right.

The Old Vader had the best voice quality and remember how small it was.. No look at the crap being produced ? It's getting worse and worse.

Could've just said VoIP...


Funny enough, I've owned my own wireless company, sold product for every wireless provider out there, and currently use SprintPCS... and the best voice quality was when I was lucky enough to get a signal and in a populated area: Nextel. The voice call qulaity was extraordinary. Now, I'm back to traveling (IT) I pretty much went to Sprint (more coverage, not much more) for some reason...
