In addition, the Pi has a built-in FM radio, though it can be accessed only when connected to the wired headset to be used as an antenna.
Callers couldn't even tell we were on a cell phone. The speakerphone didn't sound as good, however, and we found ourselves having to raise our voices in order to be heard.
So while you can make and receive calls just fine with the Pi, you might want to turn to the built-in WiFi when attempting to use the Internet. The sound quality from the music player was good. Naturally, we've heard better audio quality from a dedicated MP3 player, but for a cell phone, we can't complain.
