Orange UK have announced a new service called HD Voice, which will give superior audio call quality over its 3G network on selected phones. Available free of charge, the service will initially be available to a small set of phones; Nokia's 5230, X6 and E5, plus the Samsung Omnia Pro.

HD voice might have some specialist uses, but I've never had a problem with call quality on existing phones. As long as I understand every word then I have no use for HD.

My N86 drops to gsm everytime im in a call, so I cant even get 3G let alone have any hopes for HD.
