The prize for the worst user interface in te workld gose to smart
phones

I missed about 30 calls before I worked out how to answer it

What ever happened to 'lift handset and talk'

Not viable with a mobile phone.

They could have a standard way to answer.

Nope, what works for mobile phones with physical
buttons doesnt with modern touch screen phones.

It depends on whether the phone is 'asleep' or not
? when it 'rings'. You touch something, or swipe
something /to the right/??

But that wont be the same across all mobile phone types.

And you need at least two separate operations too, one to answer
the call, another to send it to voicemail or reject the call.

So have a green handset symbol that you touch to answer, and a red one to
reject the call.

The better designs like the iphone use the physical power button to send
the call to voicemail, so you can so it entirely by feel and dont even need
to take your phone out of your pocket to send the call to voicemail.
