I'm totally agree: a more simple on/off (big) button should be more:<br><br>- quick<br>- stable during moving/walking<br>- power-safing<br><br>Yes, sliding buttons are cool, but not really functional using Neo as daily phone.<br>

I think the point is that sliders suck:<br>
<br>
1. they are very hard to use - unless you have fingers as thin as a<br>
stylus. Especially the ones that go close to the screen edge.<br>
2. They are impossible to use whilst walking.<br>
4. They take too long to operate - seem to use a lot of processing as<br>
they "hang" for a few seconds part way until the display settles.<br>
<br>
Basicly, sliders are inappropriate for digital (on/off) values - thats<br>
what radio buttons are for.<br>
<br>
And yes I would love to have the time to figure out how the opaque mess<br>
that is e works so I can fix these HCI disasters, at least for<br>
myself ...<br>
