This is not an easy question. Maybe some methods will work with your phone,
others not. You can try the followings:
* Using the call management api (see gsm-call.c). The nk6100.c driver
  supports it, maybe the nk6510 driver can be converted if the
  P6510_IncomingCommStatus function is working (Markus?)
* You can poll the display status (see gnokii --getdisplaystatus)
