The trouble is, it's so hard to talk quietly on one of those things.  
They make them so small and compact that the actual handset doesn't 
fit your face - and although the microphone picking up your speech is 
very powerful, as it is nowhere near your mouth you feel obliged to 
talk just a bit louder in order to make sure the phone can hear you.  
It must be a psychological thing - even though it is very annoying.
