WiFi was on its own button. Look how many steps it takes on everything since then to turn on WiFi.

What I am saying is that for every step forward since the Mogul, there has been another step backwards. They should make a SuperPhone, with many buttons, IR, a keyboard, etc., like the Mogul had, and add in the improved keyboard of the TP2, a 4.3" screen, and everything else that actually was improved. This trying to be button-less, and keyboard-less, basically trying to be like an iPhone, stinks, IMO.

think about manufacturing too. its probably much cheaper to mass produce a phone with only 3 buttons on the outside as opposed to 15 to offset things like the hdmi out etc. plus look at the marketplace, most people dont want a million buttons on their phones anymore. cant fault htc for recognizing consumer trends. as far as the wifi, put a widget on your homescreen to toggle it, seems just as easy as a button!
