he meant the screen... not the touchscreen.
the screen turns off to save energy. the touchscreen turns off to prevent unwanted touches with your ear.

I like the slide to answer solution rather then first unlocking then answering.

I have a 5800 on which you answer by pressing the screen.

I never answered a call by mistake in my pocket. As far as I can tell, there's a proximity sensor and it inactivates/turn off the screen when in the the pocket.

I guess it will work just as good with the N900

Well thank you, so if there's no problem on 5800, we can imagine there will be no problem on N900

Can you disable an alarm be moving your hand near the 5800? That would be neat...

My wife has a 5800 and it sometimes answers even if the phone is in her purse. Altough it can be good to hear what she is doing(talking too) itīs kinda annoying because she canīt hear when it rings. It answers immediatelly. This has happen maybe 2-3 times in 6 months, so itīs not that big of a deal.

My guess is the extra room in the purse V the pocket/case doesnt register on the prox sensor.

If you place your hand/thumb over the prox sensor and then call the 5800, I assume its impossible to answer the call by touching the screen? This would prove the prox sensor helps with unwanted answering

For most Symbian handsets these days, you can disable alarms by simply turning over (flipping) the device, or double tapping the rear of the casing will initiatize a snooze/ignore-call feature as well.
