99xx Earpiece Speaker...Loud Enough?

I posted almost the same thing over on the 9810 forum, as I have been disappointed in the low, barely usable earpiece speaker volume on the 9810 Torch during incoming calls. I am thinking about coming back to BB...but that's not going to be possible if I can't hear conversations. I have some hearing loss, but up until now that hasn't been an issue...since the Curve & Bold series have all had excellent performance in this area.

So...how is the earpiece speaker in the 99xx? I know this is a very subjective topic...but I'd like to know how much real adjustability it has.

Pretty crisp + Clear. Quality is good.

I have had no issues with respect to sound from the speakers/earpiece/BT Headset.

It's not as loud as my 9780 (but only an Airbus 330 came close...LoL), sounds a bit more tinny than my 8520, but I can get a higher volume. I have seen reports from forum members that say they can get higher volume with less degradation on higher levels. I think the version is .351 or .357? Sorry, it's early...

Are there Enhanced Audio settings in the 99xx? There are in Os5 under Phone Options.

Yes, from the Call screen hit the BB button and go to Options>Call Management, then you can choose individual settings like Volume Control and Audio Enhancement. Set up presets/defaults.

its really nice and loud...

I was at the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) on the weekend and it's REALLY loud there.. I was able to have a conversation and give directions to friends meeting up with us no problem.

I'm very satisfied...I did change the Treble settings and its much improved.

mine too is very clear. i am impressed with it so far.
