As far as I know, they're software problems, not hardware and they're
pretty close to being fixed. On the latest QT extended I have pretty
stable call quality and no echo. My om2008.09 echoed at the beginning
but stopped after I upgraded to testing version. This was too unstable
for my liking however.
