My only gripe with my PPC-6700 is the sound quality when using the phone. I can hardly hear the other person and they usually have issues with hearing me. I'm considering upgrading to the Mogul but was wondering if the sound quality was any better. Maybe some of you who have already made the upgrade could enlighten me.

Some people have issues: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...ghlight=volume

Personally I have to keep it a couple notches down sometimes when talking on the phone (BT is usually always turned up).

I've never had any issues in loud places either. Going to a concert tomorrow night so that will be the true telling.

6800 sound level is much better for me.... give a search, there are tons of opinions on this one.

For what it's worth, my unit is perfectly loud enough. People say that they can hear me clearly, and I can hear them loud and clear. There is something that I should mention. If I put the phone up to my ear in the position that I think it should be in, it's quiet. If I adjust by putting my ear closer to the top, the volume gets plenty loud.

I'd love to use a Mogul that the user says he has to have a couple of notches below max, just to see if there is a hardware difference between ours. I always run my Mogul in max volume and while its not the loudest earpiece by far (that distinction belongs to the ear splitting Moto Q), it's also not terrible either. I would assign the Mogul earpiece a meh out of 10.

Maybe it's been mentioned, but who cares . Does anyone else hear themselves when they talk; almost like you're talking in to a home phone? I wouldn't call it an echo, but I can definitely hear myself. They mention it in this review... Review: Sprint Mogul Hands-On - Gizmodo

"Another odd thing I noticed that never existed on other HTC phones was a weird echo of my own voice if I placed the phone up to my head and angled the speaker right into my ear canal. Move it a centimeter away in any direction—still touching my ear—and no echo. I tried calling a bunch of other phones to make sure it wasn't the other party, and it was the same thing. Definitely strange."

I concur on the ear-splitting Q. I've said it before--HTC should dissect a Q and copy its audio subsystems (internal and speakerphone) before they design their next phone. There is simply no comparison--the Q is light-years ahead in audio performance.

For me the default ear piece/mic sucks in that other people cannot hear too well but I can hear them fine.

Bluetooth sucks too.

Using the bare phone has been working just fine, but I hate holding up the phone to my ears.

In private places, I simply use the speakerphone.

That reviewer is clueless. It's called sidetone.

I HATE freakin sidetone. What is the purpose of it anyway?

I feel the same way! I have never heard it on any other cell or home phones, only office phones when you turn the volume up. I wish there was a way to disable it, but read in another post that you couldn't. I guess I can live with it but when I talk to my wife I can't hear here unless I turn it up to full volume, then when I talk it is very loud. Hopefully when I get her a new phone next month I will be able to hear better. However it does make a good excuse.........."sorry dear, I couldn't hear you."

To make the conversation sound more natural. You hear your own voice in both of your ears so you tend to speak at a more normal volume into the phone.
