Funnily enough, the speaker on my Curve is also very tempramental.. I’ve only got a couple of months left on my contract though, so I’m just trying to live with it at the moment…

You could definitely give canceling the contract a go.. Plus you could hop carrier or even upgrade your handset when getting a new contract too (which is always good ).

Good luck, keep me posted

My experience is identical to you – so far.

About a month and a half ago my phone speaker stopped so I called SBE to get it repaired. No worries – jiffy bag arrived next day and off it went.

It came back about 5 days later. Except that the back cover was new and it didn’t fit properly so the case ‘wiggled’ when I typed.

I called again, SBE sent a jiffy bag and off it went. I got it back 5 days later. Excellent I thought, all fixed. 2 hours later it turned off. And it wouldn’t turn back on.

Bugger I thought so I phoned up again and the lady said that as it is returned 3 times it will be replaced. Is that ok? Sure I said, so long as it works.

SBE received my phone 9 business days ago and since then everything has been downhill.

O2 don’t want to know – despite being unfailingly polite – which somehow makes it worse.

If I ever get through to SBE they say that they will forward the query to the technicians. I don’t know why a technician is required to put a new handset in the post, but there you go.

I am assuming that as the handset was part of my contract, I have grounds to cancel the contract. Despite how much I loved my Bold handset, I am seriously entertaining the idea.
