The compromised solution that I offer you can be achieved as follows:

01. Press HOME
02. Press MENU
03. Press SETTINGS
04. Press SECURITY
05. Press SET UP LOCK SCREEN
06. Press PIN
07. Enter (your choice of pin)
08. Press OK
09. Enter (your choice of pin)
10. Press OK
11. Press HOME
12. Press POWER
13. Problem solved, but probably not in the way you desire.

This is an important issue to resolve, you might accidentally call someone, and they might accidentally hear something that you don't want them to hear. This solution is an irritant, but it is the solution that I used on my TP2, Palm Centro (yuck), and other phones. The steps involved in those phones obviously vary.

It might even be easier, as you may have turned off your lock screen. If you just have your lock screen turned off, then you might be able to just turn it back on.
Thanks Mike,
But I tried the this a few weeks ago, and it did not solve the problem. When it rings, it does not require a passcode to answer. I also noticed sometimes the slider doesn't respond at all, like the phone is ringing, but nothing you can do will let it answer. Maybe I should update to newer software, but I was perfectly happy with it for months untill this happend
