I found out from others yesterday by reading some forums about HTC and their 
poor built-in speakers.
The online reviews mentioned nothing about this. Most other phones sound far 
better.  This is bad.
I use speakerphone a lot so I'll now have to try to sell this phone and get 
another brand.

If you press the menu button you can switch the radio to speaker mode.
