Call quality is very good. The microphone is sensitive enough for a whisper, but also works great as a speakerphone. Sometimes the mic can be too sensitive. I think people tend to yell into their phone. I had to tell the other party to stop yelling into his Pr?.

Synergy is very cool. It's great the Palm will also support Yahoo accounts soon. Yahoo IM support is in the phone, but not accessible yet.
