ABSTRACT:
A closeable communication device (102) has a housing (105) movable between a closed position (200) and an opened position (114) and a controller (304) disposed in the housing (105). The controller (304) detects an incoming call to the device (102) and selectively disables (522, 524) answering of the incoming call when the housing (105) is moved from the closed position (200) to the opened position (114). This allows a user to view, without answering the call, caller identification information only viewable in the opened position (114).
