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.

While part of me agrees, part of me is also welcoming of this change. Less buttons means less buttons I can hit in my pocket, lol. I was constantly hitting all sorts of buttons on my Mogul. It was a great device though. I personally LOVED my scroll wheel, the wi-fi switch, and the IR, but I think the replacements for these (smooth finger scrolling, wi-fi widget, bluetooth, respectively) are much better than their predecessors.
I even use my on screen keyboard on my TP2 more than I use the physical one because the screen is big enough that I can do so quickly with no errors, and I don't have to push my kb out. This was never an option for me on the TP1 or Mogul; always used the physical one.
