From 6700 to Touch - "OK" button use?

pdampier · #1 (**permalink**) 01-02-2008, 11:44 PM

I just received my Touch (like it so far!) but one thing is bugging me. With the 6700 I'd use the front joystick a lot for navigation and then use the "ok" hardware button to close and go back etc etc...

With the Touch since there isn't an "ok" hardware button I'm finding it somewhat difficult to go from thumb on the directonal buttons to moving up to hit the soft 'ok' button on the top right of the screen.... Is there some short cut I'm missing here so is the only way to hit "ok" via the touch screen button top right?

Thanks....

You can map the camera button (short press) to be your OK\close button.

When I re-mapped the camera button to voice command (short press) earlier I found I couldn't take photos as the button no longer took the photo...

Since I'd be fine with using that button for other functions like "ok" how do you take a photo if that hardware button is re-assigned?

I'm very interested in finding this out too. It would be great if you could map the camera button to voice command but still be able to take photos.

It takes pictures with the center nav button without you changing anything else.

My camera button is changed to V.C. one press and screen rotation for a long press

If you mapped it to ok, you can still use it to take pictures while in camera mode. I just tried it.
