Unhappy Topic: Samsung cell phone design

Samsung cell phone design

What idiot designs a cell phone that has a button on the side that automatically rejects incoming calls? It's an SGh-s366. TOO MANY times I have reached to answer the phone and if I am not looking RIGHT AT the thing, my hand slips and whoops, button is pressed because it is right in the middle of the side where your fingers land to hold the phone. I have read the entire manual online and I can't find a way to disable the darn thing short of prying the button OFF. Tonight a friend's car broke down and she had three kids with her, called me from a pay phone and as I reached to grab the phone, I grabbed the wrong side and rejected the call, so she thought I wasn't home and had to leave all her stuff and walk home, with me just lying around on my bed doing nothing.

I have had many Samsung phones. I didn't know there was a button to refuse calls except the red hangup button. The buttons on the side of mine just shut the ringer off you can still answer it.

Edit: I was curious so I looked up a manual for your phone and the only buttons I could see on the side are the volume/navigation keys and here is a quote from the manual.

"3. Volume keys/Menu Navigation: Allow you to adjust the ringer volume
in standby mode, mute the ringer when receiving a call and adjust the
voice volume during a call. Can also be used to move to the top or
bottom of a menu screen."

If yours is dropping calls when you hit the volume buttons it is defective.

I also have a Samsung that does the same thing. It's not the same model, but it does have the same problem. I would say it's a poor design on Samsungs part more than a defective phone.

Well, I just tested it and it doesn't seem to actually reject the calls, it sends them straight to voicemail, and no one wants to ever leave me a message, it's a total pet peeve of mine since I refuse to pay extra for both voicemail AND caller ID.

The volume button. For some reason, it sends the call to voicemail every time.
