[CLOSED/G2] Soft Touch Keys are all different!

---

Anybody else notice that on the soft touch keys, the ones at the bottom of the screen on the g2, the home and the back keys are swapped places from a N1...Just thought I would point that out! Sorry I have a Nexus one and was surprised....but now after checking out all the other phones all of them have different layouts, even the droid x, droid incredible and the droid are all different layouts!!

Take a look for yourself....


It would probably take me quite some time to get used to that from my nexus...i think this is an odd thing to do personally, but it does match the g1 good

Similar positioning to the G1. The keys on the G1 from left to right are [Call] [Home] [Menu] [Back] [End]. I'm not so happy that those are soft keys, and Call and End are no where to be found.

Trust me, doesnt take that long. Change android phones thrice, all with different combinations.

Haha, theres what, 4(square) = 16 possible combinations and I guess manufacturers are out to use them all!

TBH, I much prefer this to Windows Pho 7's three button combination. SOme of those designs look a world of tacky.

Yeah this is current line up of almost all newer android phones. The two softkeys next to the app drawer are best used for call button and you can end call the call directly from notification bar no matter your location on the screen. It takes some getting used to (my current phone, the MTS is just like this in terms of set up) but is just as comfortable after a while.

keys are just like the mytouch also. my search button also pulls up quick response

Just to be pedantic, it's not 4^2, but rather 4!, or 24, combinations of four buttons in four possible spaces.

I stand corrected . Should freshen up my probability and stats!

I do infact miss the G1 Keyboard layout, so far I enjoyed a dedicated button for numbers. So far I havent seen it and many people complained about it, oh well. I cant wait for this phone to come out just to root this.

its super annoying! but after a day or 2 you will get used to it; i have atleast..

it seems a lil out of place but can tell till i get the phone and mess with it.

but couldnt the buttons also be remapped with software then re icon with a skin/screen cover :P
