Round 5: Call quality

Can you hear me now?

Nokia N95

Cell phones aren't worth much if they don't make good calls. And though both handsets run on the same carrier, audio quality differences may remain.

Apple iPhone	4 The iPhone's call quality was good but not dependable. The volume is often too low, and it has a sensitive sweet spot. AT&T's network was mostly static-free, however.	3 I'm not a connoisseur of call quality, but the iPhone seems acceptable. The included earbud and microphone system seems like a nice touch.	4 The iPhone has pretty good call quality. Incoming calls sounded decent, and callers said our voice sounded natural, with little static or background noise.	11
Nokia N95	5 The Nokia N95 is the winner here. Even with a slight background hiss, its call quality was quite admirable. And that's when using both T-Mobile and Cingular.	3 I couldn't discern much of a difference between these two. The same slight hiss I heard during music playback was also present during phone calls, but I have no real complaints.	4 There wasn't much of a difference in call quality with the N95 either. There were slight hisses and pops every once in awhile, but it wasn't that bad.	12

Winner: Nokia N95
