I have a phone interview in about 30 minutes... for a Flash design position.
Any last minute advice??? Anything especially different about phone interviews?

Use the bathroom. Don't use abusive or threatining language.

in all seriousness:
dress like it's a face to face interview, sit properly in a chair and look at yourself in a mirror while you're speaking. we're really lazy on telephones, but if you watch yourself you won't forget to smile and pay attention to how you're coming across. i once survived a three-hour transatlantic interview this way. best advice anyone ever gave me. good luck.

At the end of the interview say the following:
I thought this went very well (even if it didn't) what's the next step. I want this job.
stating the obvious doesn't hurt

im going to be doing this interview from my current job... so i get paid to look for a new job :)
is using my cell phone to make the call a real bad idea or should i just be a dick and stick the long distance charges to my current employer?

stick the LD charges to your current employer. (Think of the livelyhood they've taken from you)
Also, if anyone hears that you're looking for a new job, they might just up your pay to keep you.

every so often during interview say, "excuse me, could you hold for one second? thanks... I'M ON THE FUCKING PHONE! WHAT? OH FUCK YOU, IT WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW MORE MINUTES. I HATE YOU!!!!! ... hi, i'm back"
