well... i think it's a hardware problem.. even on my old pearl 8100 the sound quality was superior in calls. Try to look at the hole of the microphone, see if some dirt got into there.. I hope for the best that it did and the only thing necessary for you is to clean that... I don't know how though, on the pearl, the bottom wich covers the microphone and antenna came off... on the 8900 I don't know how to clean it up.

LE: if you have a little knowledge of how to (or read trough the forum) try to update to the 5.0.0.619 beta OS version, for me it's really good on battery life... Watch out for excessive wi-fi usage because it's a pig on battery life. do not let wi-fi activated while you're not using it, that may be the problem your battery goes out that quickly.
