If I'm not mistaken, what you are calling sidetone (the copy of your owm 
voice that is played back to your earpiece - it's reassuring to hear 
yourself talk) is actually real echo generated somewhere other than in 
the phone. It is a network issue, not a phone issue. Read the many, many 
post on echo and visit the WIKI.
