Interesting. The button interface is what I'm most interested in with this project. It's hard to pare back very far with Android phones. Dell has done so the most with official handsets. For example, I believe on their Mini 3 they've put the back button and the home button on the same key (they're usually separate) and you hold it down to get home. Have they done the same here?

I've been surprised how often I use the search button on my Nexus One (the G1 didn't have one), but I could see living without that if the menu button was there. Seems silly to devote that big button to it, though.

Anyway, that's one cool hack.
