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.

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.

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.

Who holds their phone like that? I hold mine with the screen facing out, so I can see it, with my fingers on one side of the phone and my thumb on the other, just like you normally would if you were grasping anything comfortably. I guess this is why there's confusion between us. I really don't know what you would hold your phone like that...
