iPhone volume not loud enough? Stab it! Go ahead! YEA!!

Yes, really.

Specifically, on the Forums section of modmyifone, skorpiond writes that he's used a needle to really trick out the speaker volume on his iPhone. And he says it works:

I was playing around with trying to get my iphone speaker volume louder and my ringtones, but I wasn't happy with the different changes on my "SystemSoundMaximunVolume.plist" so, I grabbed a needle and sticked it into every single tiny hold on the bottom left corner of the iPhone. I think it was dirty in there or something because now this **** is EXACTLY how I wanted it since day one... LOUD!!! I really hope I didn't mess up the speaker though.

Readers who also are iPhone users:

Are you experiencing low speaker volumes on your iPhone?

If yes, have you gotten used to that, or would you be willing to try what skorpiomd has done?
