hmm.. I always thought the speaker sucked. However before I started using smartphones I used Nextels and they always had loud speakers. Seriously though I always have my phone volume all the way up and in an office I can hear things clearly and fine but outside it seems like it falls short especialy the ear peice I have to practicly press it against my face instead of holding it to my ear. HTC speakers just flat out suck and thats why so man of us look for a cab to fix it so I am guessing the speakers on this phone are gonna be weak as well.
