so i get off the phone with a close friend (by hitting the button on on the earbuds), put the phone down on the table, walk in the kitchen, come back and see that my phone is on a call and has been for 30 sec. I see that it is another friend in my address book. Interestingly, both these friends are in my favorites list, about two people away from each other. There is no way I could have accidentally dialed the second person because I was using the headset.

You obviously dialed your friend when you set the phone down. You need to lock the phone after a call or go back to the main menu to avoid such things. They are very touch sensitive.
I thought my phone did this to, but I am going to assume that I accidently did it. It happened twice within about 3 minutes... I just started hearing a ring in my bluetooth, looked at the phone and I was dialing people.. one on my favorites and one that wasn't, but I was handling the phone so maybe it was me.
Since my last name starts with ab, I must get at least 10 or 15 calls per month as a result of being first in many contact lists. Usually it is because they put the cell phone in their pocket without locking the phone or I have one guy whose 3 year old child plays with his cell phone and somehow always seems to dial the first number in the contact list (not an iPhone).
The other day I received a call from a lawyer who had me in his contact list, first again. Sometime you can hear some great background discussion and that is why it is wise to lock your phone before putting it somewhere where it can be dialed through pressure.
I've noticed, immediately after I end a call, the phone will act like it's calling someone... the "dialing" screen will come up just for a second, and then it will go to the contact list or wherever I had it before the call.
