The mic is on the bottom next to the USB socket, so would work open or closed. It's the speaker/earpiece that would be a problem, and can't be sorted via the pogo pins. You'd probably also want buttons to accept/reject the call (easy - it's a keyboard after all), and a minimal display on the outside for caller info, time etc.
Alternatively you accept it'll need a bluetooth or wired headset for phone calls.
I don't like the half size keyboard, but if you're going to go down that route it's better to put it next to the hinge for improved grip and weight balance. i guess the key size and action won't allow conventional typing on a desk or table, so overbalancing when using the touchscreen may be more of a theoretical issue than the practical one it was with some of the Psion's competitors.
