Anyone else a little preturbed with the speaker phone volume?

Mine is fine. In fact, if I turned it up all the way I'd have to hold it away from my head because it was so loud.

 

Mine is also fine, I cant even keep it up all the way.

 

Why do you have the phone close to your head while using speakerphone?LOL
I think you missed his point...the hands-free speakerphone vol is bad, bad for me too!

 

i am amazed by the quality of the earbud speakers they are amazing

 

I agree, the earbuds are amazing...I especially like the small white click button on the earbud cord. Great to use for both calls and ipod use.
My speaker isn't the greatest either. Have had Blackberry's that were better and Treo's that were (much, much, much) worse.
If I recall, I believe when the Treo came out there was a similar issue with the speaker volume. Treo never did officially address the problem and most users had to purchase 3rd party software to correct.

I just went out today and bought some hearing aids, and it is much better. I highly recommend it.

 

What did you say?

the low speaker volume was the first thing I noticed...

 

Same here. For speaker phone situations, it's way too low. I'm 23, no need for hearing aids just yet, but i've noticed it's definitely low. The earpiece volume is ok in quiet places, but if you are in a crowded room or there is music playing, you cannot hear it.

 

yes i just got mine activated and im not impessed by the speaker or the regular volume.

Im actually quite depressed atm.

 

Mine is good. I think your ears are bad, I don't think Apple can help that.

 

I call bullshit. I took my phone to Apple today and they compared it to several phones in the back and said it was normal, and my speaker phone sucks. Maybe you should try using a phone that actually has a good speaker phone before you say this.

My old LG phone was louder if I set it 15 feet from me than my iPhone.

 

I Agree

Even the $99 hunk of junk Moto Q has a better speaker phone than this - for a $600 phone, this is a joke

 

I'm getting a little tired of seeing this response. It's not our ears. The speakerphone is low on it's highest setting. It doesn't make much sense.

 

I agree. It seems like people are so caught up in the hype they ignore all the obvious problems the phone has. Low volume, when it's this bad, is a major issue.

 

The speaker volume is not really a big issue for me either.

 

Theres an easy fix, its called take it back.
