my i500 could be answered closed, could be closed while on a call, and not picked up until after hitting the send button. You had options how to handle it. So I often kept the phone in my holster while using the earpiece and would open the flip to see who's calling before pressing send to answer. Not sure if all clamshells gave those options.

That left me in the awkward position of having to walk around (if I were in a mall or whatever) with an open clamshell phone in my hand(s), keeping me from doing other things. (I was using earpieces waybackwhen.)
I began to strongly dislike that aspect of clamshells and was glad to be rid of it.
For this reason, I've mixed feelings about whether I want the Pre to answer calls by extending the slider (and vice-versa). Maybe a option that lets one choose to turn on or turn off such a feature would be helpful?
