- [same scenario] copy information into the calendar for upcoming meeting, send meeting request to person(s) on that email, update appointment
- connect to another accessory using Bluetooth, WiFi/DNLA, or NFC/Bluetooth - what worked, what didn't, how long did it take you from deciding to transfer something to it being on the other device
- while on a call, quickly disconnect, then get back on the line with the person (how did the device respond to the switch in/out of the telephone app/service, how did the network seem to respond)
- how long does it take to put device into a silent state when an alarm/ringer is going off, and the device isn't in your hand - what steps did you do to quench the sounds

These are mostly normal UX questions, and things not always covered in reviews. But, in terms of evaluating the UX against and with other platforms, these are the kinds of questions which make a lot of sense to ask. Have at it.
Some answers.

You can double click numbers in email messages. You get a screen that lets you call or send sms to the number. From the top of the screen you can pull down options 'Link' and 'Save' (to contacts, which then opens up regular contact add page).

Calendar events attendees and notes are not currently supported; you can only add the name of the event, description, time, recurrence and alarm. I'd suppose they'll be there some day.

Workaround for this is that after you have created the event, you can share it from the menu as a vcs-file. Not very elegant for business people, so this is just rudimentary execution.

Silencing the phone happens fastest with a short click of the power button.
