This will give you MUCH better call quality at the sacrifice of slightly shorter battery life.

OP: I wouldn't do this until you use the phone for a while and feel you have a problem w/call quality. My call quality has been stellar, best I've had on a phone, and I've found no reason so change any settings. In fact, if I had a Droid w/call quality issues I'd more likely exchange it than mess with settings - it should be great out of the box. That is one of the Droids clear strengths. I've been through four Droids (two had battery life issues and one constantly reset, but all of them have had great call quality.
About the best advice I've seen above is learn the long-press technique (Kwai Chang Caine first taught it to me) - it's the best "hidden" feature on the phone.
My five suggestions:
1: Don't assume anything - if something is important to you, test it to see if the Droid supports it. Then find out if there is an app that can fill any voids you find. You will find "missing" stuff... even basic stuff, there are some "interesting" gaps in the Droid's capabilities. An example from my experience is the Droid lacks a way to filter the contact list via the phone dial pad as you type (a feature on the Blackberry that I loved!). Happily, a free app called Super Dial provides that functionality so no issue.
2-5: Try out a bunch of apps...many (most?) are free, and you can test drive paid ones for 24 hours and get a refund when you uninstall them via the Marketplace if you don't like them.
The power of the Android platform is that you can build your own phone. Don't like the built in dialer, SMS app, browser, media player, or whatever? Replace it with whatever app you like better. For a Droid user the marketplace is your friend, and should be on your home page for a long while, while you are tweaking your phone to suit your needs.
Have fun...
