Quick Question Before I Order

[HeadOffice]

Mornin' All...

My question is how load is the phone received call volume.
I don't want to have to turn the speakerphone on but BlackBerries are always too soft - even on max. volume!

I used to have a Nokia 9000 Communicator and with the volume up it was LOUD!!!! How loud is the G1?

I think it's pretty loud. i have to turn it down to the middle sometimes.

It beats the crap out of my Dash, my blackjack and anything else I remember using.. Holding it to my ear is far stronger than my in ear Blueant Z9i

Thanks! I wonder if there's any old Blackberry users who can comment on the difference...

I'm going to call TMO and order directly from them this weekend. I notice they have no brown in stock just the black.

I used a BB for a while pretty loud in comparison to the ol world phone I used for a few weeks at work, speaker phone is good volume too - definitely a step up from my Dash, Treo, and iPhone :) (I may have a phone addiction - its only cure is more cow bell!)

TGIF.

I had a BB curve. The speaker is not as loud but the regular phone speaker is very nice and loud.

I second that, I had the blackberry Curve also. It's definitely not as loud as it which is pretty lame.

me too. I had the curve also. and G1 is not loud enough. I'd missed few calls because of that

[jmejiaa]

I see some confusion

ear speaker: louder then my curve.

SpeakerPhone: Not as loud as my curve. Not bad though.

The speaker for the ringtones and everything actually is pretty nice, but I think its not as loud as my curve.

I say get it.. I've had days where I missed my curve. I missed it once for the notepad, then I checked the market and one was uploaded, then I missed it for the password protector, then I checked the market and there was one. Get what I'm trying to get at here?

Something must have been wrong with ya'll blackberries, because mines was loooud.

Now I'm confused...
Can I just clarify - the earpiece volume is loud?
I'm not interested in speakerphone just the earpiece for loud phone calls.
Correct?

[orange]

when you're talking on the phone, it's loud enough.
I just wish the ringtone was louder for me to hear it when I'm outside with bunch of cars passing by, or in public places like malls and stuff.

[maclondon]

re ringtones - pick a tone thats shrill and electronic
and avoid musical ones if you are not hearing it go off.
