Are SE copycats towards Nokia or what.
The power button is identical to the Nokia phones.
I`m a SE lover but just wondering!!!

Dumb if you ask me. Holding the Yes key was and still is a much better idea than having a separate power button. The big design fault of the T610i is the dumb Nokia style soft keys which i cant stand. Bring back Yes and No |

Well, I don't see a problem with the Power button, or the Soft-Key buttons.
Firstly, the Power Button stops me accidently switching off my phone. I know that for the T68i; holding (No) will exit the Menu, back to the phone desktop. But if you type in a number, then hold (No) to exit, the phone switches off. It's only a problem for me 'cause I keep on doing it 
Also, the soft keys are almost always (Yes) and (No). They only change for functions like the camera. That way, the phone can say "Capture" instead of "Press Yes to Capture". Simple  |

According to the local se people here, the reason for the design is to try to capture some of the Nokia users market. Their surveys have shown that a big reason why nokia users are reluctant to switch is due to being unfamiliar with se phones' interface and overall design. |

the softkeys don't work like yes and no. the no softkey doesn't do much, the key below the yes softkey replaces the no key.
the power buttons well i don't mind it if it works good, by that i mean that it doesn't shut down when you accidentely touch it. i don't like the new menu either, but what about the z1010? it was got 2 more softkeys below the joystick what are those good for? |

If it helps, just pretend that the softkeys say "yes" and "no" !
Or failing that, if you've got a miniture paint brush or some Tipp-Ex you could always *write* yes and no on it....
I must say I approve of the on/off button thing as I usually hold down "no" on my t68i to get out of GPRS and I have accidentally turned it off a fair number of times.
The fact they are doing it to appease Nokia customers rankles a bit but I can see their reasons from a business point of view.
