Sorry, I meant a call and not being powered or not. The little phone
icon is green or red or whatever. It should always be visible when the
unit is powered and should either be grayscale with a red bold X on it
when on-hook or be bright red showing a flashing lifted hook when
off-hook. The entire OS is full of ambiguities and lack of positive
fedback as far as I'm concerned. The test should be giving the phone to
someone who has never used one and asking what the current state is,
THAT's how intuitive and *unmistakable* it needs to be!
