This is the equivalent of saying "I get sore walking to the bathroom."

your comparison makes no sense. apple vs orange.

the diamond power button is small and hidden. it is supposed to be used rarely like the small reset button on a PC.

Re: tired of pressing power button

start-->settings-->system-->key lock

you can choose the last option. but that will wake up your phone when you hit any button.

thanks. that is very close to what I need. How can I assign the OK button as the only button to wake up the phone?

Re: tired of pressing power button

I too think it would be great to have an enter key option to wake up the phone. I'm still new to the diamond, but it definitely is harder to find and push the power button to wake it up than on the touch. You guys are kind of harsh on the OP, even though he could have had a better subject line. The stylus in/out seems to be easier, but unfortunately, the new magnetic stylus is also harder to find than the stylus on the touch. The old stylus had the raised piece to make it easier to find, the new one is definitely more hidden (like the power button) and a pain to pull out. I also hate that it pulls down, not up like the touch. Has anyone found magnetic stylus replacements that have the notch to help solve the usable on/off switch dilemna?

is there a better way to wake up the diamond? is it possible to configure the OK (center) button to do this? like the iphone, you just press the OK button. it is big and does not hurt as much?
Start - Settings - System Tab
Select Key Lock
highlight the last button - Do not lock buttons

This should work for you
