Scratch 'n' Sniff HD anyone ?
It just isn't necessary to upgrade to HD calls. Could we not understand what she was saying before?
It does sound better, it also sounds like a different recording...
It sounds better but I don't think I've ever seen it as a problem. The poor microphones in some phones on the other hand...
isn't there already strain on the networks? (Not retorhical)
Yes please :)
Talk about jumping on the HD bandwagon..............psh.:sleep:
How about better reception & lower internet latency instead?
H w ab ut they f x their network fir st befo e they do this?
Why bother with 'HD' calls when there are loads of places you cant even make a call from?
Also the 1second -> 2 weeks delay on txts is just stupid in this day and age.

Like, it seems, everyone else that's posted, I'm struggling to see the point. As long as I know who it is, and can hear and understand them, what's the point of anything beyond what we've got? After all, I'm not going to pay for a phone call to play someone music.
Maybe there's some service, or some point I'm missing, but it strikes me as a technology solution in desperate search of a problem.
Oh, I suppose if voices are clearer and there is no attempt to charge a premium for this, then okay. But there's nothing wrong with the voice quality that matters right now, in my view, because I can still hold a comfortable conversation and it does not impede communication.
What a complete and utter waste of bandwidth. Wireless carriers are already whining about data bandwidth usage. What's going to happen when voice calls get needlessly more bloated?

Personally I think its a good thing.
As long as no premium is charge and its just phased in with new handsets etc, then go for it.
Will I 'upgrade' my trust W880i, hell no.
Your joke's better than mine, but I'll still have a go.Quote:

So, following on from this will smokers (who can have croaky voices) not be aloud to use Orange's service?
- "Both high-definition lungs and a high-definition voice-box are needed for a user to use our 'HD Voice' service." :O_o1:
(*Note: I have never smoked. Thankfully.)
