Because of this I was taking the long route of getting back to the home screen from within the Messaging tab of a contact (such as after a text message). I was having to use a combination of sliding to the Details tab of the contact and using softkeys and the slider bar to navigate back to the home screen.

I now see that the BACK hardware key (with the arrow making a U-turn) does immediately return the screen to the HTC Messaging tab. This is a better option.

I still maintain the idea that the true END key (the hardware key with they red phone icon) should truly end what you are doing and return home, but I certainly see it as less of a problem now.
ok so you had that prob in the messaging screen. i used to do that too w/ the slide to detail to see the back softkey, then it hit me duh hit the back hardkey (hit it once to take you to message tab then hit it agian and your home, just 2 taps) tapping the end key does end/close out an app but i guess not in the manilia sub folders/menus such as messaging/contacts. but it will end in an app/program.
