I found my N70 very quiet and poor quality on calls. I've got an N75 now and
that sounds fantastic. If I get a KNFB reader, it may appear on a recycle
list! But if the N82 sound is poor, I'll be waiting for alternative Zenon
flash phones first.
Cheers
Dave

Andy and Steve
Personally, I think the N91 has a bit more depth than all the phones I've
seen. When I put my N91 in my bag, even with the volume set to its maximum
of 10, I still find it more difficult to hear when I'm in a noisy
environment than when I tried the N82 and trying out Ian's N95, or with my
older 6600 and N70 phones.
I only know this because I like carrying out little tests like being able to
hear the phone in a noisy place, and I think the N91 is quietest of them all
for that.
