As others have said, you don't need a headset. You can end a call with a double tap. You don't even have to find the end call button, just double tapping can do it. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2009 8:50 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: terminating calls on the iphone Well, at least if it's a drag on one end or the other, it's better to have it happen at the end of a call. Like I said, it probably makes more sense once you have tried it. I guess it's just something I'm inclined to be cautious about, since I know I'll hardly ever be wearing headphones.

With practice, I've gotten better at it but I don't get enough calls to really practice. I can tell you though that ending a call can be a real drag. What I do is get the speaker to activate, find the end call and then I can double tap.

I don't *want to *have to wear a head set to use this phone. Apple really needs to address this. I was really hot about getting the iphone, now I'm pulling back. If I can't answer and end a call unless I'm wearing headphones, this isn't a phone I'm ever going to buy.
