Should be even easier for you now. Power button is on the top left of the phone.

How is that easier to reach? If I'm holding it in my left hand, then the power button is right under my forefinger. This is in a position where none of my fingers reside naturally.

??...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.

Re: What will you miss from your Mogul?

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.

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