Arrow Major, major Bluetooth improvement

The day after I got my TCH, I traded in my excellent Sanyo non-Bluetooth phone for a Bluetooth-equipped Samsung A-900 "Blade." It worked as expected, but the sound quality for the LISTENER was horrible. People could barely understand what I was saying, although I would turn down the fan, roll up the windows, and speak directly into the microphone.

I thought this was all something I had to live with... until a new Bluetooth phone came out (Sanyo, YAY). The crappy-but-very-cool-looking-and-expensive Samsung had such a low battery life and a host of other lame problems that I returned it to Costco and bought the Sanyo instead.

VOILA!!! Now people can hear me normally, every time. No more shouting or repeating myself. No more complaints about faint and garbled speech.

For those of you who might have similar Bluetooth problems, don't assume that it's a Camry limitation that you have to live with. The problem just might be that not all Bluetooth phones are created equal.
