What were they thinking putting 8-buttons on the same surface mixed with capacitive touch that isn't even used for most of the buttons? Who does their QA now?
Might as well have vehicle makers get rid of steering wheels and change them all to joysticks. Btw, steering wheels are resistant to vibration and g-forces, and so multi-buttons are resistant to getting pressed at the same time versus that abomination known as a d-pad on the Touch Pro.
It was just super-genius to throw away their Tilt innovation (which Nokia now picked up), as well as finally falling in line with d-pad set up that's been in usage BEFORE cellphones.
HTC just signed death-warrants on future products since they still cannot grasp pretty from rock-solid usability from their high-error touch UI to their new, high-wear, surface unstable, sticky, finger-print attracting cases.
Xperia already handing Touch Pro its ass for preferred design. Stay a sleep HTC, because a steering wheel lets you.

It's so pretty that it's non-functional.
