That's what I do too. Or something else?

I'm like Roger. A call comes in, i see the number (or name if it's someone in my contacts) and get the option to swipe left or right to either accept or decline the call. > >> I don't understand why yours should be any different. > > The fickle finger of fate.

Yeah, it's the equivalent of a Windows Ctrl-Alt-Delete. If all else fails...
