Hmm ok.. So maybe that's it... I've always used phones with the keypad touching my cheek.. resting against it. I guess with this phone I have to angle it away..

I'm not forcing the phone to my face or the mic to my mouth.. Merely resting the keypad on my cheek..

The Mic is super sensitive. It gets distorted very easily..

I could bring it back but I bet the others will do the same.

Thanks again for the replies.
