It has some audio input/output interfaces, which seem to work fine, and an HID interface for the keypad.

The phone is the last device in the list, labeled �Cypress Semiconductor Corp�. Couldn't you have done a little intelligent filtering? Your email audience shouldn't be forced to wade through pages of irrelevant details about your root hubs, SATA bridge, webcam, and card reader before reaching the description of the phone handset.
