iPhone Loudness & Clarity - iPhone 3G

Before I commit, please let me know if I'll be able to have a conversation in a noisy street with the iPhone. Can I adjust the volume so it's LOUD & CLEAR?

If not, it's just not gonna work for me.

Thanks!

Mine is almost too loud when adjusted to full volume. I was in a noisy restaurant today for lunch and could hear just fine. Some have complained, but I have to wonder if they turned the volume up or not. It is only about half way by default.

At first i couldn't hear mine either, turned all the way up too. Then it sounded just fine. Weird.

it depends on your bars and how clear the person is talking

I believe that the iPhone bluetooth headset can improve the voice quality.

The AT&T store I went to yesterday was out of iPhones by the time I got there. BUT... I was able to play around with a demo they had in the store. My main concern about buying an iPhone was how well the phone worked. After my wife and I tried the demo, we walked straight to the counter and ordered two phones. The clerity was crisp and clear. Had no problems hearing or being heard with all the ambient noise in the store (lots of voices and loud music.)

The quality of the headset volume is what prompted us to spend $1,200 on phones.
