    We don't need HD voice anyway, we need more reliable connections first.

    Viber and Skype use HD voice codecs, but I think to fully enjoy the increase in call quality, the phone's internal speaker will have to be upgraded as well.

    Sounds good with earphones though.

    HD Voice?

    Why exactly do we even need something like this when Vodacom can barely keep a call going, let alone make it clear enough to hear every word thats being said.

    HD voice is awesome guys, experienced it about 2 years ago. Crystal clear, no issues struggling to hear anything. Noise cancellation is pretty awesome too.

    Flat rate mobile HD streaming services would be great before HD voice services. This would unlock many great content providing services to the mobile market compared to HD voice.

    Isn't VoIP like the next voice technology that people will be using in the future?
