I think the OpenMoko follows the industrial trend in that voice
quality on mobile phones is getting worse and worse.
I have an old Nokia 6310 (brick) that has excellent voice quality.
My latest Nokia E66 has just OK voice quality. The voice is much more
likely to cut out. I imagine that it is due to it being less good at
RF than my old 6310.
The OpenMoko seems to have problems with the mic.
Don't any hardware developers actually test these devices for basic
features, like "Can it make a simple voice call and can one hear it?"
"Does its RF capabilities at least equal or better the previous model?"
