Hi Brice, I usually have either my Jabra Bluetooth or Apple Earpods handy. I know it's warmer where you are, but here it is getting to e sweater and jacket time so quite often I have my iPhone in my belt clip and I have the earpods plugged in and the cable under my sweater with the ends hanging around my neck under the color. This is very unobtrusive and if the phone rings I just pick up the right earpiece, stick it in my ear and answer the phone with the remote. This of course avoids the problem entirely.
If I do answer without headset I found it's sometimes best to do the 2-finger double tap and not bring it up to the ear right away. I often just ask the caller to hold just a second, then if I bring it up to my ear it's often better and the switching if it happens mostly happens right at the beginning. I might have even decided to stand in line to get a Gold iPhone, but the problem for me is that the nearest Apple Store for me is in Vancouver which is a 1 hour and 40 minute flight in a Dash 8 4-engine turbo prop plane or a 1,500 mile round trip by road. Oh well, a couple weeks of looking forward to it doesn't hurt in today's instant gratification society!

I'll write to Apple. I don't know what good it will do, but something is better than nothing. In the mean time, I wonder if I should just start triple clicking the home button when my phone rings so it won't automatically switch to speaker phone, but then I won't be able to use the two finger double tap gesture to actually answer the call if VO is turned off. I'm in North Carolina in the United States. Yep, the online orders for the gold phone slipped to October at 3:25 a.m. Eastern, 25 minutes after it went on sale. Guess who ordered his phone online exactly at 3:25 a.m.? I guess the color doesn't really matter but still, I want gold for something different. I'm hoping "October" changes soon and I don't have to wait several weeks. I'm also planning on checking my local store now and then to see if they have any models. IMO, Apple really messed up this launch with the gold phone. Since I purchase device only, I could always go in store and then cancel the online order with no repercussions if that option becomes available.
