Technical specs aside I believe you are mistaken with regards to the 
actual every day reality. My experience (and anyone else I talked to) 
calling to and from mobile phones has been 100% a bad one with regards 
to audio quality. I know the bandwidth allows for better quality, but 
carriers don't do it, they do the opposite.

Why else would a mobile phone carrier feel the need to advertise an "HD" 
(shouldn't it be "HIFI"?) quality line (i.e. a quality that's standard 
with every land line and already suboptimal):
