Phone clarity & quality?

[lcchick]

How's the clarity and quality of the calls? I have an Epic 4g slider and the call quality just sucks. I am trying to decide if its worth the 2 year committment to upgrade to this phone. I need the keyboard and there arent too many options... Thanks!

This is just my single opinion with a single phone. The ear-speaker and the loudspeaker (on the back) are both good for listening to calls. I have had some callers tell me the microphone for calls isn't very clear, but not so much of a problem when using it as a speakerphone. I don't know why. I have been able to conduct all either way though. Using a Bluetooth headset (mine is a Plantronics Voyager Pro +) is great for phone calls as well as listening to music or radio. I do the majority of my calls using the headset though so it is rare for me to use it directly as a phone (holding it to my ear). Also, typing e-mails and texting, the slider keyboard is the best I've ever used. My 2-cents.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure that I'll end up getting this phone, was just wondering what I'm in for!
