The application can request to make part of its memory area locked in RAM (man 2 mlock), which most probably the phone application already does.
It also seems that since 2.6.29 the kernel includes swappiness control for a cgroup (memory.swappiness), but there are patches for 2.6.24.
Unfortunately, the current kernel for the N900 doesn't include swappiness control in cgroups.
