"Poor reception/call quality"
Pros: voice recognition works well
Cons: Poor reception. Small font - can't change
Summary: Calls are choppy and I often miss a word. Calling from my home where I used my old Motorola V60 phone without problem for years. Speakerphone echos callers voice back to them to the point where caller said it was very distracting. Font is very small and can't change. Not good for those aging folks who need reading glasses. Like me.
On plus side, I was very impressed with voice recognition and after increasing the sensitivity one notch more to "reject more", it has worked great ever time.
Not much help if I can't understand what the callers are saying. I don't understand why others have said call quality is great. Is it possible I have a bad phone? I plan to return it tomorrow.Updated
My first phone was replaced with another one and now the reception and call quality is much better. It looks like I had a bad phone the first time around. Another grip after using the phone a couple of days is that the caller id name that shows up when someone calls is white text on a pretty light gray background. Text is also very small and only uses the bottom 15% of the screen. No ability to set colors or text size to fix. Overall I would up my rating to a 5 since the call quality is now better and voice recognition works
