Hey I'll trade you my Razr for your iPhone if it is giving you trouble. I could use another iPhone and I sure would like to recycle that old Razr.
I brought my phone into the Apple store today and compared it with the ones they had on the floor. They all had very similar low ring volumes as mine does. Guess it's just the phone and nothing wrong with mine.
It's sad that even at the loudest setting, the sound of it vibrating on a table is as loud as the ringtone for incoming texts.
I don't even hear text messages if my phone is on my coffee table in front of me and I have the TV on.

when I was on a call today using the headphones, sound was echoing, but that is the only call i've used them for so i will have to see if it happens with other people. Everyone says they can hear me great, but I don't always hear them that well with the phone to my head. I have the volume cranked (i think). Will have to see what it is like with bluetooth, but I like it to be real clear and loud when I hold it to my head. I have a powersupport crystal film over the screen, but the cutout for the ear speaker is bigger than the speaker, and doesn't cover it at all. I could try repositioning it or testing with it off, but I doubt that's it. And I agree that it doesn't ring loud enough. I have the marimba all the way up.
I have two iPhones and both have very good volume. I've tried it outside in NYC and anywhere else. No problems at all.
You almost get the feeling that someone accidentally swapped a part during assembly for a portion of the phones that went out.
(I've seen it before... the wrong resistor gets put into the parts hopper. And nowadays with surface mounted parts, it's really difficult to repair.)
Heck, we discovered that our assembly line workers were hiding M&M's in the parts bins since they weren't allowed to snack on the job. Found it out when a manager grabbed a handful of parts and they melted in his hand

The iPhone has different volume settings for ringer, iPod, and in-call volume. It also has different volume settings for iPod/in-call for different outputs (headphones, handset, line out).
I think the problem is that there is no intuitive way that I have found to figure out which one you are adjusting at any one time, with two exceptions:
- The current output is the one that gets adjusted by the volume buttons.
- Ringer volume is being adjusted when you see 'ringer' in the volume bezel.
speakerphone on iPhone=useless
speakerphone on iPhone absolutely useless. i often use speaker to check voicemail while driving...not so on iPhone...this speakerphone issue was just one in a long list that drove me to return iPhone after 3 days of misery and regret!

Those weren't M&Ms. M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hand!
Yeah, but with Visual Voicemail you shouldn't need to check Voicemail while driving
You could also just use the iPhone's headphones while you're in your car. That would be the simplest solution.
