see title- is there a third party application that can do this? Also, the buttons settings shows button 2 and 3- where on earth are they?:)

You most certainly can!
I use AE Button Plus. It is an amazing little app that lets you do just about anything with all the hardware buttons on the phone. It also lets you assign more than one behaviour to the same button- one for press, one for double press and so on... Check it out here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

Hope this helps!

Yes, excellent app !

I've been able to link to npop by adding the "mail" button but it still launched the built-in mail program, anyone figure out if it can be "inhibited" from AE ?

Wheel? What wheel? I only wish the Touch Dual had a wheel :)

Very impressed with Touch Dual so far. I agree - the wheel would have made it an amazing device...

Maybe for the Touch Dual II?

I can't get it to scroll when you keep the button pressed (volume up button for scroll up volume down button for scroll down)


I've tried loads of different combinations to get it to scroll like the dpad.

If anyones got it working can you post how please?

the missing buttons refer to the volume buttons. just press and hold to activate them.

I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.

The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.
