Sieghard,
Here's a question for you though. If the switch to speakerphone is only for
voice over users, then did they put in the proximity sensor for only the
blind to use? 
I don't know of another app that uses this, with the exception of the lift
to talk with siri.
But iPhone 4 has the proximity sensor as well, and it doesn't have siri.
Hmmm..
