In reading this message, I wonder what you mean by "iphone, trictly swipe"? I don't want to jump to conclusions or accuse before knowing what you meant, but I can't figure out what you could mean and I hope you have your facts straight before saying something about something you want to bash. I don't know of any "strictly swipe" about anything on the IPhone, particularly in the context of handeling calls, as is being talked about here.
