I'm having the same problem - and yet reversed. I don't know if it happens every time or not, but more often than i would like. At least a half dozen times now when I answer the phone the person on the other end says "what took you so long to answer, I could hear you before the phone even started ringing."

While it might be useful to hear someone's voice before they answer, it is infintessimally less useful to have someone hear what you're doing before you even have a chance to answer or ignore the call.

Do all HTC touch phones have this issue, or is it a bad batch? (Mine is on the Rogers network in Canada). When someone calls me the screen lights up, then the name of the person displays, and then finally it starts ringing and allows me to answer - is that normal too?
