So it just so happens that I had a very strange issue with my iPhone where the glass actually started separating from the underlying screen. So I took it to and Apple Store and showed it to them. I was out in like 3 seconds. They had me sign a piece of paper and gave me a brand new phone. Had the 1.0.2 (1C28) firmware on it, not the newer 1.1.1 firmware.

When I got to my car, I called my wife and it was the same loudness as before. That's when I realized it was only at Half of what it could do. I pressed the up volume and almost had to take the phone away from my ear it was so loud. I also tried it with the Apple Bluetooth Headset and it too was MUCH louder.

I ride in a very noisy vehicle on the road where before I could BARELY hear people if I was going 70 Mph, now I can have the phone on speakerphone, up to my ear, or on my bluetooth headset and it is more than loud. Just FYI if anyone was wondering.
