Sanyo 8200 earpiece stinks!! VGA 1000?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Hi,
I read that some people are quite happy with the 8200...I chose the
8200 since it was a sanyo...I had been fed-up with samsungs thanks to
my a460.

Anyway...the 8200's earpiece is painful! It is so shrill, I must hold
it away from my ear.
Any talk of "sweet spots" is ridiculous...a phone should NOT have a
left or right handed earpiece....three little holes off to one
side...lol!

My ears are in the same spot on the side of my skull...so I need to
hold the phone differently depending which hand I am using!? What a
joke.

The menu's seem ok, as does everything else about the phone...EXCEPT I
am waiting for the little center circle of the arrow key to fall off
soon.

Anyone else have opinions versus the vga 1000!?

Odd. General consensus on the 8200 is that the earpiece is muffled, not
shrill.

The menu button is not likely to fall off.

The 8200 gave me a much better experience than the VGA 1000.

I have a friend with a VGA 1000 and the center dial is just about to
fall off on him.
