Yes to the call quality(#1)!  Please fix this, I hate talking to people 
on my Freerunner since they can't hear me well, and I can't hear them. 
I used a friends phone the other day and was blown away by how good the 
people on the other end sounded....This should be a non-issue.

I wholly agree with this list, in this order. +10!
