I'm new to Droid 2 (coming from LG Ally) and am liking it a lot. One thing that drives me crazy with Android in general is the slider thingie to answer the phone--you need good aim, good coordination, a good grip on the phone--generally a major pain.
There's an app called Advanced Telephone (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lab1945.advphone&feature=search_result) that works well for me. It has a nice big answer button that just has to be touched to answer the phone. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well under rooted Gingerbread--when a call comes in and the phone is asleep, the big buttons don't appear. This is really a deal killer, so GB doesn't look like a good choice for me.
I've googled this problem, and as I understand it, GB prevents access to the portion of the software that allows control of answering behavior. That really clinches the decision to go back to Froyo unless there's information I haven't found yet.
Input/suggestions welcome.
