I use the stereo adaptor (circa $5-$6)
available in a Treo - branded bubble pack,
with the $9.95 Sony over- the-ear headphones
(much better than buds without completely blocking external sounds).
I hold the phone about 6-8 inches from my mouth when walking
and the other party hears me well.

When I put the phone on the desktop
(about 2 feet from my mouth),
it's a little harder for them to hear and
I have to talk much louder.

The internal speaker is off automatically
when the earphones are connected.

Yup, plus I just hate the damn earbuds anyway.
Not to mention they're kind of disgusting when you think about it.
I sure wouldn't borrow any!
