i'm sure many of you will know how to do this, bt it's not completely obvious so i thought it would do no harm to mention it.
with the screen locked when you receive a call you get this screen.  what this is telling you is that if you swipe your finger right you'll answer the call, and if you swipe it left you will unlock the screen and be presented with further options such as reject, reject with sms etc. was that too obvious or not? |

 I always thought you had to unlock before you could answer! |

Thank you so much. Believe it or not that is not obvious as you would assume you need to unlock before answering the call Paul |

I have not experienced this, but it looks as intuitive as most parks of the phone for symbian folk like me. I instinctively knew that I could swipe away my home screen to hide it, and also to touch the active connection icons at the top right to alter/stop them etc...
The phone, now I'm not installing everything under the sun, until new FW is out, is actually more of a joy to use than before I burgered it up. |

The instruction book does not mention answering calls anywhere. I have missed several trying just to tap "answer" and not swiping it. This forum and all the advice on it might just have me keeping the phone. Now on to the post on getting a contact to show on the screen when they phone

Thank you for posting this. I had cut of a number of people until I just read your post. I can't believe it's not in the instruction!
