What will you miss from your Mogul?

??...The side of the phone that's closest to us is the back, so if you're holding the phone with the face to you, the power button is immediately under your index when you slide your index finger to the top of the phone (it's on the left side of the phone).

Still failing to see how that's remotely easier. If I'm holding it in my left hand, on the Mogul, this places the current power button directly under my index finger. Perfect spot to turn it on and off instantly. I would have to slide my forefinger into a very unnaturally uncomfortable position to hit the power button in the new location. Now if I were to slide my THUMB up from the side, that's relatively easy to move into position and isn't a major inconvenience, but it's still no better than hitting a button already sitting under my index finger. I'm not complaining about the new position, as I'm sure I'll adjust to it very quickly. I'm just arguing that it's definitely not EASIER than the Mogul's power button.

Okay...don't wrap your index to the other side of the phone. Hold it with your middle finger, ring and pinky...thumb on the other side of the phone, index naturally points directly up towards the top of the phone. Keep in mind, the Touch Pro is shorter, so it'll be easier on that phone then it currently is on the Mogul. Since you guys are so adament about it, I'll try to take a pictures...LOL.

Oh, and about the power button thing, you do get used to it (it's the same position as the Touch), but I do miss the location of it on the Mogul.

Okay, so I don't have an extra camera, but I took a pic with my Mogul of what I'm talking about. It definitely will take getting used to, but you see where my index finger is placed? I had to take a picture in the mirror at my office, so obviously what you're seeing is a reflection (so everything would be flipped, as far as placement is concerned). My other hand got in the way because I had to push the button for the camera.

auto focus is a must if you want to take a pic of a book page for quick reference.
