My best friend says the same thing about hers. She rarely uses it to talk, and basically holds the damn thing in front of her face so she won't hang up with her cheekbone.
Luckily, Futurama understands. Here is a scene from the episode "Attack Of The Killer App":
[Cut back to Fry, who is relaxing, when his head shakes and we hear a bell ringing. A telephone icon is shown on the eyePhone screen.] Fry: What's happening to me? Is it puberty? Bender: It's a phone call, dingus. Fry: These eyePhones are phones, too? Bender: Duh! [Fry picks up the phone and on the screen is Leela driving the ship.] Fry: Fry-lo. Leela: [on screen] Hi, Fry. Did you know these eyePhones are phones, too? Fry: Duh. Hey, is it safe to talk while you're flying? Leela: [on screen] Oh, totally. This thing's hands-free. [takes out a taco] That's how I can eat this taco [takes out a fork with spaghetti in another hand] and this spaghetti. [Wide shot of the ship's hangar. Leela accidentally crashes the ship into the building. She flies out of the ship onto the meeting table, screaming. She has spaghetti all over her face and hair and is still holding onto the taco.] Leela: I'm hanging up now. [Fry and Leela touch their noses and hang up] Bender: Hey, check out this Internet video of some idiot crashing her spaceship! [Close up on Bender's eyePhone screen. He clicks play and opens a video of Leela crashing the ship.] Leela: You recorded that? Bender: The eyePhone records everything. All I did was add a laugh track and twit it to my 10,000 followers. [Bender plays the video again, which now has canned laughter at the end of it.]
