Now I have a headache from trying to understand people on the damn speakerphone!! :|

Every goddamn little noise causes the gain to ride up and down, muting cuts in and out. This is brutal! They can make a stupid mp3 player the size of a stick of wrigley's yet speakerphones still do this. This is intolerable!

Muting? You need a full-duplex speakerphone, with active echo-cancellation on each side. Something like they use professionally for office conferences and the like.

They supposedly have all that but methinks the satellite propgagation delay plays with it.

Simple fix for that. THAT'S NOT MY JOB THOUGH!

Can you tell I'm just a little bit FRUSTRATED?

Surprisingly, "they" can also make cars and electric mixers. Even more surprisingly, those have about as much in common with a speakerphone as an MP3 player.

Suprisingly my Treo600 has a great speakerphone.

But the best speakerphone in the world is a Polycom!

The speakerphone on my Meridian phone is great. I've never had those problems with it.
