I definitely carried out your latter two suggestions, but the standing up thing I hadn't thought of or read about while preparing for my phone interviews. Another helpful tip: smile. Even though you're on the phone, smiles are communicated over the phone- as you sound more "positive and upbeat" according to some of the stuff I read. Must have worked because I got several in-person interviews following the initial phone interview. You make great points, Saad!
