Me and a few other coworkers just received a 8700c Blackberry for work. We have all noticed that people we speak to on this phone, complain that they can't hear us because of the background noise. In reading past bb threads one solution was to upgrade the OS but I'm thinking I just got the darn thing, surely the OS can't be that out dated.
Last month I got an 8700g from CSL in HKG and that came with 4.1.0.286 loaded. Sound quality and clarity is much better than the 7210 which was running .136. Just before I handed the 7210 back in, I upgraded it also and sound quality was better.
Mostly the complaint from the past has been the same, too much background noise. Something in the software is doing better background noise cancellation in these later versions.
Due to poor sound quality, I've always carried a separate cell phone to my BB but perhaps very soon I can ditch that and use the BB exclusively.
Thanks for the response. How can I tell what O/S I am using? Is it under profile or where?
