Best speakerphone, overall sound quality and reception?

[asu rocks]

I have been using a VERY basic NOKIA 6010 for over a year
All that I really NEED in a different phone is a good speakerphone.
Whether or not the phone has camera, internet capabilities is not relevent, as I am unlikely to utilize these functions.
I would like simply:
1.) Best overall incoming and outgoing sound quality.
2.) Best possible reception/least dropped calls.
3.) Best clear, loud speakerphone.

That's it! Nothing else is of any true importance to me.

I have considered a NOKIA 6682, although it does everything up to "taking out the trash". I tried a SONY Ericsson W810i but being a very small phone it had a very soft speakerphone.

Does the NOKIA 6270 have a better speakerphone? I know it is a large phone.

Needs to have 850 and be in Cingular's lineup or be unlocked phone with 850.

Thanks for any recommendations!

How about the Sony Ericsson W550i/w600i? That phone suppose to have exellent reception and VERY LOUD speakers.

Also consider the Nokia 6131...

 

[i guess thats life.]

Any others with great reception, sound quality and a good, loud speakerphone?

Thanks,

Usually if the speakerphone is really loud it won't have great quality. You can't have a very loud speakerphone AND have great quality, it's a tradeoff.

Is the W810i just too small a phone to support a decent speaker function??
Or, did I get a bad sample?
It sounded fine but had low volume. I would never be able to hear it around any small amount of noise or ever in a car.

The W810i I tried was overall a fantastic phone, but speakerphone volume was not a strong point of it.
