Torch - Question/Poll about the convenience key
- They went with 1 key because when the Torch dock is used, it is in Landscape modr and would block the convenience key on that side.
Style also has 1 convenience key, but with QuickLaunch, that key opens QL, Camera, SprintNav, and Poynt.

Like you said, the Style only has one, that's not docked in landscape mode. I personally think it's pathetic that there's only one on the Torch and Style. I mean what's the big deal on adding one, almost all BlackBerry phones have had two in the past? (maybe even all, I'm not sure of some really old ones)
I'm not a Torch user, but I do use and love QuickLaunch as one of my convenience keys. My other is camera, but I usually use QuickLaunch to launch the camera anyway. It's just nice having the option...01-20-11 12:18 PMLike 0 -
Set Patterlock to start a second after the back-light goes off. Now when you press the Lock Key (top left) you invoke Pattern lock.
Now you free up your Convenience key for something else.
Of coarse, this is no good for you, if you don't like the idea of Patternlock starting every time your screen back-light automatically times out.

And I use it hourly from google maps (I own a pressure cleaning business so I gotta find some weird addresses) to the calculator, camera, flashlight, memory cleaner and event log, screen capture..yea pretty much everything lol

I don't think too many really use the phone when it's docked, especially needing an extra convenience key while it is.
