Question on N330 earpiece "audio" quality...

[CRC]

Just got my new N330 yesterday. So far I like the phone OK...very easy to program/set-up and use. At 1st only had trouble because the phone makes you use 10-digit's...whether local or not. Having a LG-4500 previously, having a little bit of a time getting use to the small size. This is my 1st bar/slider phone. Does seem to hold a signal a bit better than my LG did indoors.

Question...One thing I've noticed over my LG is that when I'm listening to a conversation, if someone is talking in the background on the other end, the sound or background noise/conversations seems to kinda cut in and out...or how can I describe it...like "blurp". My LG was more of a constant or consistant sound or background noise, this one goes silent. As far as hearing the person who's actually speaking in their mouthpiece, when they speak I hear them just fine. The caller also said I sounded fine or clear as well. Is this "clipping" of the background sound typical for Samsung's or this model? When I was talking to my roommate today, someone was talking to him in the background while he was talking to me. I heard the other person, but the voice kept cutting in and out...was a tad annoying and no big deal, just need to know.

Will continue to test this phone for the 15-day trial. It may go back to VZW and I'll go back to my LG if it doesn't work out. Too bad if I have to...I kinda like the phone!

Thanks!
