Come to think of it, I have been reaching for it. I don't think I noticed my use of it until I didn't have it. Mainly, though, it's not having one in easy reach while the keyboard's open. The one under the wheel was in the perfect spot for my right forefinger, so I used that more.

I suggest installing qmenu and assign it to a button (double press) using AEButton Plus.

How is it the OK button? It doesnt go back to the previous screen when you press it when you are most screens?

Isnt the back arrow button the OK button? It sure acts the same way.

I know that the back button works as the OK button, but I find myself using my finger to jab OK in the top right corner most of the time, so I don't miss it at all... especially since the display is flush now, so I never have to fumble to hit it.

What I miss is having a genuinely programmable button. Long-press on the End key just doesn't cut it, and AEButtonPlus or whatever it's called just doesn't do it for me... I like the buttons I have just the way they are. I used to use the Comm Manager button on my Mogul as press for nueLight and press-and-hold for Spb Mobile Shell Task Manager, and I really miss that configuration.

It closes the screen, but not the app. Just tested and the two apps I used the back button to close were still running in task mgr. = battery burn baby!
