Your OP sounded exactly like you were referring to getting a teenager her first phone (there have been many threads on the same topic). People take the time to reply to your comment and then you get upset? That's rich.She had a flip phone for years while everyone else had smartphones and you clowns think peer pressure influenced her decision......"insert rude noise here"
Some flip phone.She's in her 30's and it's her first smart phone? Wow! What did she use before?
WOW I don't believe the direction this post has gone. I did a search for call quality before I made the post as this was what this post is about. My daughter is not some giddy teen. She is in her mid thirties and is a Dentist that owns her own practice. She recently bought outlook for around a hundred bucks and worked hours getting all of her contacts off of her failing yahoo account. What should have been easy wasn't because yahoo is so screwed up lately. She has been using my 925 and likes how easy it is to use the OS.
A windows phone would have worked better for her but for the sound quality issue which is the reason I made the post. She had a flip phone for years while everyone else had smartphones and you clowns think peer pressure influenced her decision......"insert rude noise here"
I didn't force anything. We had discussions about the three formats and I pointed out strengths and weaknesses about them. I pointed out that if she needed special apps for banking or flying Win phone was not the way to go. I also pointed out how I am always beating a dead horse. My VCR of choice was a Betamax and my last PC had an Asus P4 T-533 motherboard with rambus memory that soon went out of fashion and left me with an inadequate 1 gig of memory that I couldn't upgrade and about that Sigma SLR with the Foveon sensor..................Oh WellPeople who try to force their preferred smartphone platforms onto others are the worst.
I've heard one other person complain about this with Icon. I haven't experienced this with mine, though I use earphones most of time for calls. I do think the rear speaker could be better on Icon.
I'm surprised she went with S5 in this case. Would have thought those big, front facing speakers on HTC M8 would have won her over.
Not surprised kids are into Android. Apple is your parents phone and WP hasn't gained traction to be cool.
Some flip phone.
My daughter was getting her first smart phone and I had her really considering a Win phone. She has outlook with lots of contacts and a calendar that she needed to play nice with a new smart phone. WinP8 should be best at this. She got a good sales rep that didn't try to steer her one way or another but when she tried the Icon she didn't like the sound quality. She said it was muffled and she even tried a second unit with the same results.
She now has a Galaxy S5.............Oh Well
You have failed us! Please leave this forum at once ;P

Really? A couple of my young cousins have an iPhone and iPod touch respectively. I usually see teens toting iPhones, actually. My mother, who's 64, has a Nokia Lumia 620. So your generalization doesn't quite work.
If failing to get someone to go for WP is terms for leaving the forum, we'd have all left years ago. It's too bad you didn't introduce your daughter to the Samsung Ativ-SE. It's like an Icon, but with a removable battery. I want to say the batteries are interchangeable with one of the Galaxies.
Neither does yours. Your grandma and cousins?
