When the incoming call sliders pop up, all you have to do is swipe the green slider to the right.

Not being rude, but really, try reading the manual.

The above answer is correct though, but still, read the manual.

That really got me when I first got it. Charged it at work where I had no time to read the manual and got a call on the bus on the way home and manual was in my bag. Press, press, press... Got home knackered and pretty much went straight to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night and went "Doh!"

Yeah, the slide action got me, too. If you pull up the phone, then go to the menu, you can change it to where you can press the home key to answer an incoming call.

Can you explain how you did that? I can't see an option for this on my Note (International version).

Menu->Settings->Call->Call answering/ending->Answering Key.

It's not in the phone mode, it's from general Settings then.

I turned that back off as soon as I figured the slide action (direction of slide is irrelevant, just length - outside the circle that expands). I actually like the slide action. It takes no noticeable extra time to use and prevents you hanging up or answering by accident. If you set alarms you turn them off the same way.
