I'm confused. I put a phone number element on a form and selected US Phones. I randomly entered in a bunch of numbers and clicked submit. Nothing happened. It did not validate or error me in any way. It acted like a text field.
Note - this was in preview mode. Does that matter?

Yes, that matters. 
Try publishing your form first and then it will work.

I'd like to give my 'form customers' an example of a valid US number in the placeholder area. So where are the validation examples for this field ? Did I just miss them somewhere ?
1-555-555-5555
or
15555555555
or
1(555)555-5555
or
5555555555
or
555-555-5555
or
(555)555-5555
or ... ... ...
1-555-555-5555

Orlando (customer support) sent me this - for anyone else wondering. 
"Here are the validation examples that you can use for US phone numbers:
(111) 111-1111
1-222-222-2222
111-111-1111
111.111.1111
These are all hard-coded into the scripts.
For the other options, here are their values:
phoneUK
(02x) AAAA AAAA
(01xx) AAA BBBB
(01xxx) AAAAAA
(01AAA) BBBBB
(01AA AA) BBBBB
(01AA AA) BBBB
0AAA BBB BBBB
0AAA BBB BBB
mobileUK
07AAA BBBBBB
International
<= 15 digits, may have leading + and contain ().- (according to Wikipedia)"

For US Numbers -
Shouldn't 5555555555 and 15555555555 also be valid.
I know they're very basic - but some folks would enter the number in these ways (probably a large segment of folks).
To avoid inevitable confusion - shouldn't these be included ?

That would be an International number then not a US phone number.

Hmmm... how so ?
3 digit - then 3 more - then 4 more - or the same with the US International code (1) at the beginning. ((see http://countrycode.org/usa))
These are US formats (without the 1- being the simplified/implied version). Some folks would just type their number like so -
5555555555
or
15555555555
It's not a big deal - just any attempt at streamlining a form or avoiding confusion in a form - is a good thing - and that means serving up fields that lack any opportunity for confusion.

It is now November 1, and I see we have a problem. We really, REALLY, need the ability to add straight numbers without dots, dashes, are other non-numeric items.
Try using the US telephone field in the form with an i-phone or iPod, the keyboard doe not even give me a choice of dots or dashes.
I will have to use a text field instead.

That is a limitation of the iPhone and not the software Larry. That issue applies with all HTML forms.

Any character other than just numbers seems to still give an error on both S server and my server.
