Round 5: Call quality

Can you hear me now?

Motorola Rokr E8

Cell phones aren't worth much if they don't make good calls. In the final battle, we check out the sound and clarity of phone calls and the quality of handsets' speakerphones.

Phone	Kent	Bonnie	Nicole	Total
Motorola Rokr E8	5 Thanks to Moto's CrystalTalk feature, the Rokr E8 delivers great sound quality on all fronts. The volume and clarity were fine on our end and callers reported the same conditions.	4 I enjoyed good call quality on the Rokr E8. There were a couple of crackles, but otherwise conversations were loud and clear. The speakerphone also was pretty decent.	4 I couldn't find a lot of difference in the call quality of the phones. Callers heard me just find on the Rokr E8, and vice versa. Audio quality was good, for the most part.	13
Nokia Xpress Music 5310	4 The 5310 delivers great sound quality as well, but in comparison with the Rokr E8 it wasn't quite as good. It loses this round, but just barely.	4 The Nokia 5310 also had admirable voice and speakerphone quality. There was also a bit of that crackling, but our friends said we sounded fine, so this round is a draw for me.	4 Similarly, the call quality from the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music was mostly decent. I did hear a bit of static occasionally, but it really wasn't too bad. Good call quality overall.	12
