"My ONLY problem with the iphone, [...] put it to your ear as a normal phone and soon you find your ear touches the mute zone on the touch-screen and wham! "hello, hello you there? Grrrrrrrrrrr"
This doesn't happen on any iPhone I've ever seen... the iPhone touch screen is disabled during a call, when the phone is lifted to your ear, so the mute button CAN'T be pressed. You can also press the lock button to lock the screen during a call (this doesn't disconnect the caller), which would completely eliminate the problem even if it did exist.
Perhaps the question is, have YOU ever used the iPhone as a phone???
