Hi,
My first post so be gentle. I have had the N900 about a week now and love it, especially the the integration of SIP and the browser.
However I have a problem when the phone is in my pocket and someone rings me. The touch screens switches to the phone mode and becomes active so I often cut them off or they get to hear me pulling the phone out of my pocket which is not best way to start a call.
It also happen when in silent profile which means you can accept a call without even knowing.
I have noticed that on other touch screen phones that when a call is received you have perform an unlock action before you can accept/reject a call, does anyone know if the N900 can be setup like this?

Something like "slide to answer" would make sense.

I may have seen that implemented somewhere else already, for iPhone, Android, WinMo.

Found this OLD thread here about it:

So yeah, we're going to need a S2A at some point.

Is it strange that my N900 does NOT activate display or touchscreen if it's in my pocket??
They are activated when i take it out from pocket. Maybe you have a proximity-sensor issue?

There is no app to do that in N900 at this moment ?

Yeah, I had a similar problem when I pulled it out it hung up on the caller. Nokia needs to come up with a better solution.

My HTC Touch Pro has slide to answer and it works great. Please vote on it in Brainstorms.

Already submitted to bugs. But sensor doesn't allow accidental answering in theory. Practice is different though, it has been suggested that proximity sensor be increased in range.

I'm all for it, I muted calls with my cheek before the sensor reacted.

I have similar issue and have actually disconnected couple of calls today because of the same issue. This need to be addressed asap.

any word on this ? I would like to get the functionality of "slide to answer" when a call is received because majority of times, the phone is answered when I try to take it out of my pocket..which not only causes a disconnect but also causes me to answer call that I do not want

Are there API hooks at this level so at least a developer outside Nokia can implement a fix? Or is this part not 'open'?
