So my end key. the 2 corners of the end key are chipped off, i have no idea how it happened. i have no damage on my phone, i have it fully wrapped. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the button replaced?

If it works fine, I'd wait for more issues to pop up, and then deal with them all at once. Just my opinion, that's what I do on a new car. I don't run to the dealer for every little thing, unless it causes an operational problem. I just save them up for a while...

Wirelessly posted (HTC Touch Pro 2: Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50286; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

My start menu button somehow popped over the send key a while back. I slid it back into place, now it seems to sit too low (doesn't depress when I push it). Also, my keyboard buttons make a sound when I press them - almost as if there is a layer of plastic that went bad underneath, and is now dry and crackly. I'm just dealing with it until I feel like asking for a replacement. No big deal so far, just mentioning that it does happen.

This was my big concern about buying an HTC product. Had an xv6800 for almost two years. Screen broke and it was replaced after 4 months. Then, after the warranty ran out, various buttons stopped operating. By the end, call and end buttons were very balky and the windows and ok buttons, as well as the softkey buttons didn't work at all.

I never even use the buttons. Wish you could map them all to different apps.

I try not to out of habit from the last phone, but my thumb gets a little tired of reaching all the way up to the upper right corner for the Windows icon.

Insert Seinfeld quote:

Elaine takes a drink of something.
Elaine: Oh god this tastes terrible.
Jerry: Did you shake it up?
Elaine: No.
Jerry: You gotta shake it up.
Elaine: No. I'm sick of shaking. You've got to shake everything.
Jerry picks up the bottle and shakes it gently.
Jerry: Yeah, that's a real nuisance. This is killing me.

Well, it's actually about 3.5in from where I usually have the base of my thumb, which is longer than the thumb.

That does give me pause about owning an HD2, I suppose it is almost a two handed device.

From what I hear, 6.5.x moves the button to the bottom, which would be good for my thumb.

Hi, I'm sense-of-humor. Nice to meet you.
