Hi The problem I get is that when I try to answer an incomming call, the screen cant make up its mind which way round it wants to be and swaps between landscape and portrate thus preventing me from answering as quick as I'd like to. Also on a number of occassions when I've tried answering a call I've accidently pressed the sms button and lost the call ( why is there an sms button when your trying to answer the phone ? ) Just anoying realy.
if there is enough space to not engage the proximity sensor, then you should be able to take out your phone without touching the screen. i personally have the phone screen facing my leg so if i bump into anything nothing will damage the screen. i do this when i goto work in slacks or in jeans, but my slacks have quite large pockets.
