I have the following comment:

Why must answering the phone be a two handed process? it is not easy for many people to pull the phone out of its holster/pocket, hold it in one hand and swipe unlock with the other, with the phone ringing away! Why can't we unlock and answer with one finger tap? On my SE K800i I can set it to answer automatically, even if it is locked. Not only is it a pain to have to go through that process to answer, the unlock swipe leaves finger marks all over the screen which is unattractive and dirty.

Come on SE, let's have a little practicality in this interface. It's taking you long enough to produce.

You could always set the phone to never time-out. Failing that if the swipe bar is a bit fiddly you can use the Security settings to set an unlock pattern. Granted it's not much different from the normal swipe but I find that it's more responsive, plus you can set it so you can operate and draw the pattern with your thumb one handed.

Practice makes perfect though, I've gotten the hang of operating it one handed now so I can pull it out of my pocket and one-hand swipe it to answer the call. Besides i hear that the updates coming this year will include a setting to make it one-tap at the users discretion.

Also it's a touchscreen phone, smudges tend to happen so I give it a good clean from time to time.
