Default Speaker too silent

Hi guys! Has anyone experienced not very loud speaker while calling? Whe you are making a call you have to put volume to highest level to hear at least something. I don't have a Raph yet but I'm hearing this from multiple people. Can someone please write me how is he/she happy with the phone's speaker (the one you put to your ear when making a call) loudness?
Thanx

Hopefully the other people have actually taken the Screen Protector that comes on the device whilst in the box off and replaced it with the separate one provided. The protector provided has the necessary holes for the sound to come out so you can here.

With that done, the sound on mine is more than sufficient and I can get away with 60-70% volume in a London street.

It has nothing to do with the screenprotector.

I have both devices side by side and called to my voicemail on the same number and the phone speaker on the Raphael is definitely not as strong as the one on the Diamond.

I have a hard time deciding which device to keep as speaker volume is important to me.

But the volume on the Diamond speaker is much higher than on my previous devices as the Touch, TyTN II, etc.

Hope HTC issues a ROM update to increase the volume as the hardware should be identical
HP Jornada 680--> Casiopeia E 105--> Ipaq 3630--> Ipaq 3970--> Toshiba E800--> Qtek 2020--> Imate Jam--> Ipaq HX4700--> Imate Jasjar (WM6)--> Imate KJAm--> Imate Jamin--> HTC P3600-->HTC P4350--> ETEN X500+--> HTC TyTN II--> HTC touch plus--> HTC Touch Pro -->HTC Touch Diamond + HTC X7500 + Iphone 16 GB White + HTC Touch HD

Same here.

Loudspeakervolume is really low... :(
(compared to a Hermes, Diamond and TyTN II)

Maybe there is a Registryhack for changing this ?

Have you and the other people with this concern tried SRS WOW HD?
