Why do incoming call answer controls look different?

Some incoming calls on my phone have a "Slide to Answer" control at the bottom. Other calls have 2 buttons to either accept or reject the call. Why does it show 2 different ways to answer the call?

Home-brew, Windows XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro @ work

If the phone is locked, you see the slide to unlock. If you're using the phone or it is unlocked, you get the Answer/Decline buttons.

Is it possible to reject a call when iPhone is in locked position? If you slide to unlock and then hang up, you will be charged for one minute, which may be more than $2 if you are on international roaming.
