I find it odd that he chose the outer button flip phone as one of the ten best gadgets of the year because I have been doing this same thing with my LG TM510 since early 2001. The volume buttons on the side of this phone, as well as most other LG phones, double as ignore buttons. You press once to make the phone stop ringing and twice to send it to voicemail. It's strange that LG would add a new button when the volume buttons function for this purpose just fine.
I sent an email to david pouge saying as much and he replied: Interesting... I wasn't aware!
