Nice list! It's so important to be almost over-prepared (if that's even possible) for a phone interview. You have to make up for the fact that your first impression is really going to be made over the phone, not face to face, where your dress, attitude, and body language make a huge impact on the impression you make.
I'd also add, if it's possible, stand up during the interview and try to move around a bit. Don't be loud about it, of course, but movement often helps your thought process and allows you to focus better. If you can't move around much, or aren't comfortable with it, make sure you're sitting up straight. Posture makes a big difference in how you speak and feel when you talk. And if you really want to go all out, consider dressing the part, too.

Another recommendation is to have a bottle of water on hand (speaking from experience). Nothing worse than trying to impress someone with a tickle in your throat, eyes watering and trying not to cough and/or clear your throat into the phone.
