We bought this phone for my 99 year old mother in law. The phone works great for her. The quality is very clear.

Bought this for elderly parents for the picture dialing. Can't activate speakerphone AFTER picking up the handset to answer or AFTER dialing a number, which is odd and unhelpful. Quality of speaker average.

D. Lang- I just ordered one. I will review it in a few weeks Let me know if you have any other questions. I know what you mean about "open" quality. You and I seem to have similar tastes in speakers. I have some wonderful speakers already and I am looking forward to this Samsung. Jim

Call quality is very good with mine but I only make 2 or 3 calls a trip on the road, all cell. I have not used Skype so I can't help w I th that. All in all I really like and enjoy using the headphones.

The speaker phone on this model is the very best both hearing & to be heard, that I've ever used. It is loud & clear.

When I've used the speakerphone I can hear the caller very well. However, they can't seem to hear me. Honestly, I don't know if I'm supposed to speak to my phone or to the speaker. I love the Braven; I mainly use it to play Pandora radio.

Our experiences with this phone are not good. We are elderly and our hearing is not what used to be. It is difficult to hear. Putting it on speaker phone improves the clarity, somewhat. We do not recommend this phone, even with someone who has perfect hearing.

It is (qualified)crap!! The only place that I can use it is through my car. On it own, you can't hear a call and others report that it has a background noise that drowns out your speech. I have not tried it with a head ear piece thingy. There is no instruction book and it took forever for me to happen upon my contacts loading. The internet processing is very slow. With all that said, if you just need something temporarily it will suffice. For me, I was waiting to find a digitizer to replace the screen for my Dell Venue phone as I did not want another contract or to drop 500 to 600 for an unlocked phone. Good luck.

It makes a tolerable speakerphone. I haven't used it extensively as a speakerphone, but haven't experienced any problems with it when using the speakerphone function.

To me the answering machine is not very loud. I have bought three phones and the one I would buy again would be the clarity XL professional. This is a great phone. Everything is adjustable and is loud if you need it to be. You can't go wrong with the clarity.

Polycom handles ambient noise and echo better than any other conference phone on the market. Will not eliminate 100% of the noise, but no speakerphone will. Adding the extension speaker/mics will help.

Panasonic has worked out well for me. Pretty good speaker phone. Listener's never complain when I use it. I would purchase it again. Panasonic electronics are always reliable.

Phone call quality is good. Comparable to good quality headphones. Voice is clear, and background noise is reduced. In addition, when I have asked people how I sound to them, they say they can hear me clearly.

I agree with K. Not a single breakdown in the speaker quality. You'll be surprised at how good it sounds. This was the first thing I bought on Amazon and it has been the best. I use it for my computer speakers and whenever I go on a trip to a cabin, party or whatever. I've had several people to ask me to bring him. A microfiber cloth will keep him looking new. Mine is named Darth Piggy. :8)

I used the Skype application available for free for this phone. I used it only once and it was ok. The sound quality was very good, but the other side (which is Europe, I was calling from the US) complained that my video was slightly blurry. I cannot tell if it was because of the camera or because of the poor connection. I will let you know if I try again and have a better result.

The speaker is pretty good. As with all bluetooth technologies if you plug it in directly to your device the sound quality will be hire. I have other speakers at the same price but I like this one the best. The sound quality is good and completely worth the money.
