I don’t know if it’s still true, but waaaay back in the day, there was a cell company called Nextel. They had some cool features like a press-to-talk button that would immediately connect to to another Nextel phone you had set, like a two way radio.

They did roll out a super-clear voice call feature. People hated it. It was *too* clear. They cancelled that feature and returned to the tinny call quality. People are weird.
