Now, with that said, let's all keep a cool temper around here. I don't know if it is the summer heat or everyone is menstruating, but everyone seems very testy in the forums these days. Remember, everyone was a b00n at some point and everyone makes mistakes/typos.

Now that actually makes it pretty funny. I'll keep my hopes down on the issues being fixed.

It's amazing how noobs don't know how to use the search button. Thanks for backing what most everyone on this forum already knew about HTC's past.

to answer a previous poster regarding crappy outgoin voice quality from other than bt, i can attest to my wired headset driving people on the receiving end nuts. they complain about all the afore mentioned symptoms. yes. my wired headset and bt sucks but not the handset. this is making me nervous.

I've updated to the most recent ROM and my Discovery 655 still sounds terrible on the other end.

That's because the newest ROM didn't address the BT problems, just the Sprint Music Store. We'll have to wait a while longer for BT or memory fixes.

Thanks for clarifying. It's amazing to me they would release the mogul with these known issues. Especially the memory leak, that just uncalled for..

Remember that Sprint almost didn't release the Mogul because it had so many bugs that they had already identified. Their plan was to fix as many bugs as possible by the time that the RevA update was available and just release the phone at that time (probably October). The PPC community can now work on as many of the bugs as we can while waiting for official fixes.

I use the Plantronics PL-510 and always receive compliments on how good the headset sounds. I hooked it up day one when I received my Mogul and haven't had any problems getting it to work. I've used Motorolas before and they seemed to be the worst as I always got complaints about echoing when using them. I don't know if getting a phone after intro has cured the problem or not.

My husband does video production and works with audio a lot. When we first got our Samsung 920 phones, I tried several headsets. The newer headsets with the digital enhanced sound were the worst with voice echos, choppy sound, low/fading volume, etc. My husband says the background noise sensor is too sensitive in the new digital enhanced headsets and causes problems. I stayed with the Plantronics 640E since it worked best. The headset is a little older version and doesn't have the enhanced sound. I've had my phone for almost 3 weeks now and no one's complained about my voice using the headset.

This might indicate if it was really a hardwre issue since the Telus 4000 is using WM5.

I was using Bluetooth on the P4000 with WM5 and I had choppiness issues. I upgraded to WM6 and now i've also got spontaneous dropped calls due to the headset, choppiness, less distance....and WAY more aggravation!! Some upgrade.

I'm using a Motorola 700 headset
