"But calls on the Droid sounded more muffled, compressed, and computer-y, in both directions.... Call quality was still acceptable, but I wouldn't call it good."
"Voices are revelatory, realistically smooth and soothing, unlike the harsh digitized tones through which they’re conveyed on other cell phones. We did detect some background feedback echo, however – it wasn't disconcerting, just lurking."
"The phone provided excellent call quality."
"At times the calls sounded fine, but at others the audio for both call parties sounded weird to our ears. "

"You still get support for MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI, and Windows Media Audio 9 formats and the player includes shuffle, repeat, and playlist creation..."
"One huge problem: it doesn't sync with PCs. Sure, you can plug it in with the included MicroUSB cable and drag and drop your media. But normal, non-geeky people don't want to do that..."
"Once you get your music and video on the phone, it looks and sounds great.... Full-screen MPEG4 and WMV videos played smoothly, although the phone crashed when it tried to scale down a 720p HD WMV video."
"Of all the great features on the Motorola Droid, music and video playback could use the most improvement. "
"Unfortunately, there is no syncing software to help you manage and transfer your music."
