Which is increasingly irrelevant.

Oh, did Microsoft Office's near universal dominance in the word processing and spreadsheet arenas somehow diminish while I was sleeping last night?

It diminished greatly when they were forced to start using an xml-based format for their documents, yes.

-button to turn off more practically placed on the side, instead of the stupid top button

Alan Baker
Why is that more practical? Shouldn't an off button be somewhere you wouldn't typically hold a phone?

Steve de Mena
Hitting the power button than requires a downward swipe to complete the power off. You can't hit it accidentally and power down the phone. You'd just blank the screen

And you think that it wouldn't still be irritating to have to dismiss the power-off UI?

-dual LED for flash

Alan Baker
And that's important, because...

Steve de Mena
Light source from 2 locations, spreads flash light out more evenly. It's not like having 2 high power wireless flashes 5-6 feet part, but you get the idea.
