At home, at work, in a restaurant or out on the streets, I can hear only about every third word he says and often ask him to repeat everything he says at least twice, which of course upsets him greatly. I've gotten pretty good at making sense of two out of every 20 that he speaks and trying to put together whatever he is saying. If he is at home and happens to be putting ice cubes in a glass, it sounds as though two cars have crashed within 5 feet of him! If he's in a restaurant, I can hear the people in the background better than I can hear him. It's truly ridiculous that BB cannot seem to fix what appears to be a tremendous problem with their phones.
For whatever reason, it seems that his calls are much easier to understand and have less background noise when his phone is fully charged. Beyond that, his phone sucks!

WTF? I'll take your rant with the grain of salt that comes along with being a first-time poster.
The reason for this model having a microphone with high sensitivity is that it is a global phone. The extra sensitivity enhances the quality of the end result when making international calls originating outside of the country.
If you aren't a global traveler, don't buy this phone. Go for the Curve instead, or buy a good earpiece to circumvent the "problem."
