My Motorola Nextel i1000Plus flip phone, released in 1999, has two soft buttons on the front, as displayed (using a later version as an example) in this image.

If a call comes in, the left button becomes an "ignore" button. Press it and the call goes straight to voicemail. At the same time, the right button becomes a "speakerphone" button, allowing you to answer the call and put it on speakerphone at the same time.

No one is happy with the DOJ caving in the settlement talks. I know I'm not. But I've wondered for quite a while now if part of the reason they're not looking for any sanctions that mean anything because this Administration thinks enough damage has been done. Sure, the federal government isn't looking to get a pound of flesh from Microsoft, but since MS has been found to be an illegal monopoly all kinds of companies feel free to savage them with lawsuits. I think that the DOJ feels that this is enough.
