Volume during incoming call is truly pathetic on my iphone, if i am outside i continually have to tell peeps i will call them back..especially if its breezy. If im on a bus…FORGET IT (that call aint gonna happen)

when im at home i can have a conversation on it however, the tv or radio ect cant be on at same time…basically my iphone needs a really really quiet envioronment to function as a phone. how wierd is that…PAP

I love my iPhone. However, my call volume is horrendous. I’ve had to apologize to people who have called because I couldnt hear them “talking” while outside. I have to go inside a building and call them back. By far, the worst call volume of any phone I’ve used. And the 1.1.1 update didnt fix it. Since others seem to have no problem with their call volume, I hope I can get a replacement from the AT&T store.

Nice slag piece. “Almost all of Apple’s first generation products have suffered some kind of problems and even some third and fourth generation products as well.” WTF are you talking about?!? That’s just slanderous. Maybe you should, oh I don’t know, actually TRY the product before jumping to conclusions and repeating rumours as fact.

i would say, the call volume of iphone is way too low. i figure some friends of mine need to yelling at the phone also go with some hand action. why dont we just call i phone as sign language phone, casue i cant hear u u cant hear me eitherl! really need to improve!

Some users are probably too stupid to realize they need to take the plastic screen protector off before using the phone. That muffles the speaker volume tremendously. It’s by far the best phone I’ve ever used. No problems at all.

I have 3 friends with iPhones, and all of them are impressed with the battery life; as I’ve made calls from the iPhone, I’m similarly impressed in that aspect.

All the reviews say battery life is very good and some say volume is a little low mainly the speaker but keep to the truth and stop trying to kill the iphone just to have something to say.

“Granted, forums don’t show the good experience…”

That is exactly right, and that’s why generalizations like yours are inappropriate imo.

I find the iPhone’s power management to be excellent, and I find call volume to be no different than any phone I’ve owned.

Because forums are filling up with those types of reports. Or, you could try reading the article linked to at Cnet. Or even this one, http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=40839

Granted, forums don’t show the good experience but enough have complained…
