I have had a G1 for about 6 months now, but I still am unable to consistently answer it without hanging up on the person calling me. I recently figured out why. My old phone was a flip phone. It connected when I opened it. The new phone is not. I push a button to connect. However, my phone is often in my purse pocket, button side up, so I hit random buttons when pulling it out. The result, I often hang up on the person trying to call me.

Maybe now that I understand the problem I can start to learn how to answer my own phone. =)
