This may be changing. On my new cell phone, an LG Cosmos, I can hear myself
in the speaker when I talk. It was a little disconcerting at first because I
was so used to NOT hearing myself and it doesn't exactly sound like and old
wired phone, but it may be that manufacturers are starting to add this
feature in.

There are plenty of people like me out there - and you
can spot them as soon
as they get out their cell phones. Old phones have a speaker in the ear end
that not only carries the other person but also your own voice -- you have a
monitor, and you get to hear yourself from the outside. Cell phones don't,
the ear part is dead unless the other person is speaking. Older folks used
to exterior feedback can get really thrown off by this and start TALKING
REALLY LOUD;
