I found that the slide to answer option is natively included in the n97, and appears when you receive a call anf the screen is initially locked (but not in the 5800).
See "n97 swipe to answer" on google for screenshots. I hope it will be included in n900, even if the n97 screen captures look ugly compared to htc or apple solutions.

Video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdTj3d148UI . That looks like it would be useful for N900.

Doesn't having proximity sensors on all the time add to battery drain? Seems that some hardware keys on the face of the phone would have been a better option. Call, End and Home would have been good. Looks like plenty of room around the bezel.
If the proximity sensors are based on capacitive change, they tend to draw more current than accelerometer sensors that are also on the device. Seems to add complexity to the design when hard keys would cover it.
Am I off base big time here?

Micky at nokiausers.net has the final answer on this:

Basically the prox sensor does not help in answering a call accidentally. Looks like the only way to ensure no accidental answering is to lock the screen before you place in pocket...
But means you have to unlock the screen and then click answer to answer the call. 2 step process unfortunately

It should be one step if it's anything like the previous tablets. Alarms and Phone calls over-ride the lock usually. It won't give you full access to the system, but you can still press the answer/hang up or turn off/snooze function.
Edit: Seems like if it's locked mode the screen just remains dark.. interesting

Lets hope the N900 doesn't follow the same implementation because the screen is much more sensitive. It guess a swipe to answer would be a better implemention
