I've had the phone since early August...I love it
There is a way to make it do speakerphone, but its not very easy to turn off/onh: found it on some tech site somewhere

Here is a pic I took at Fenway back in September with my phone.

edit: btw i emailed it to myself from the phone and it took a while to get to me, not sure why?? like a few days not that I cared...just wanted to see the quality so I did it. I think close ups of people are better qaulity
