Hi Tom, The proximity sensor is also important because it turns off the touch screen if you hold your phone up to your ear. This of course is also the case for somebody who doesn't run Voiceover since otherwise you would constantly press stuff on your screen with your ear and cheek.

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..
