Did any of you end up getting a replacement? And if so, how is it? I have the same problem... If the volume is anywhere above halfway, I hear this static sound and it's really frustrating. I went to the store, compared it to the demo they had, and theirs sounded a lot better, no static. Guy said I had a defective speaker and I got sent another one. However, I received it yesterday, and it sounds the same! Are there really only a few people having this issue with the phone? Or does everyone have it and it's just not a big deal? Verizon CS said they haven't heard of the issue. They are going to send me another one once they receive one of the ones I have... so maybe the third time will be a charm. If not, I give up. But after using the one at the store, I have hope that there are ones out there without this issue.
