Not really true. If you read the developer documentation for Feature Pack 2, you'll notice that Nokia specifically calls out the middle soft key as being a new feature. I'll concede that it was previously possible to assign functionality besides "select" to the middle button within individual applications, but I think it can take on other functionalities at the core UI level now.
