Anyone have a problem hearing others while on speakerphone or the ring? I had hold the speakers up to my ear to hear some people from a landline and cell line. Also the ringer volume is all the way up and its very difficult to hear. I could usually hear my RaZr ring while in my pocket no problem but the ringer volume on the iPhone is terrible compared to that. The music volume through the iPod is fine which tells me the speakers are capable of a higher volume. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

I have no trouble hearing conversations on the speakerphone, but i noticed earlier today that there is extremely low output volume from the right speaker while playing music.

Does anyone else notice this? If you play a song and cover one speaker at a time with your finger you can hear if one is louder than the other.

(i tried this with multiple tracks....so it's not just a song with strange levels on mine)

The iPhone only has one speaker. The other is a microphone (according to the iPhone tour video).

I went to the Apple store and they said a few people are having this problem. They suggested I exchange when they get more in stock.
