I too would love the option of swype to answer, I do find it slightly counter intuitive having to swype then hit the very small answer icon.

I can see the reasons it would need to be an optional choice rather than a complete change, those that use their N9's without a case and carried in pockets etc. being the obvious. But for folks such as myself that use a folding case to protect our N9's, there is really no need for the current swype then seperate answer method, swype only would be sufficient.
