Call quality was pretty good for both devices. The BlackJack sounded loud and clear on both ends.

Call quality on neither device was perfect. As Bonnie said in her review, the BlackJack did have an echoed quality at times, though it wasn't a deal breaker.

Pretty much a draw here. Both phones offered good call quality despite a slight echo. The BlackJack and the Q also had great-sounding speakerphones.

As with the BlackJack, the Q had excellent call quality, with callers hearing us loud and clear and vice versa

I too noticed some static on the line, but it was nothing I couldn't live with. And as with its competitor, speakerphone quality was quite good.
