Hi Will, I agree, the N73 is so far the loudest phone around, which is very
useful for those like me who, as you know, are hard of hearing.

hi but the n sevnety three is much much louder guys than the n eighty two. i
love the KNFB reader too but who has got the money to spend on it, 900 plus
pounds? it should be hundred quid and that's that as no one can afford it.
for me when i saw the ne ighty two, the design is great but the sound is the
worst i ahve ever heard on any phone
