Sad to say it, but it's actually their worst executed device of their bb10 line up.
The Q5, which is a very nicely built device for what it is, does have an issue with the top power button being too recessed, such that you have to press it more than once (or unusually hard) - either way, u have to use more effort to activate the power button than you do on the other devices.
The Q10 is very nicely designed and built, as is the Z10. Both phones very tight and solid.
The Z30, while overall is their nicest phone, has these small details which makes it very disappointing when you think about it.
The overly sensitive buttons which the OP mentions appears to be an issue for a sizeable amount of users.
There is the issue of the "faux SD slot" that sticks out, instead of sitting tight and flush with the rest of the phone.
There is the very difficult process of removing the back cover - why they didn't just design it like the Q5 with the little slot, is beyond me. You can't replace the battery and yet they make you remove the cover to insert your SIM and SD - and then make it a huge chore to do so, prompting some users to use screw drivers etc who end up damaging their covers.
The details spill over into their cases. The transform cases feel cheap compared to the Z10 versions AND not only that, but the kick stand function doesn't even work properly. The white cases gets dirty (the one for Z10 does not).
Their flip shells, while look and feel nice, are the worst built cases as a flip case. Once you start using them, the cover doesn't close all the way to touch the screen, you have to place the phone facing down on a table, other wise the cover stays jarred open. Sorta defeats the purpose. The flip shells for the Q and Z10 did not have this problem. Best way to describe it - it's like the difference b/w a paperback and a hardcover novel - after reading the paperback the cover stays jarred open from being bent backwards...same thing for the Z30 case.
Last detail - they ship the white Z30 with black headphones. Not to sound picky but i think if you're trying to maintain a premium brand image (which is why they're pricing is so high), the small details like shipping matching headphones matter. They shipped white headphones with the white Q10 - they could've easily done it with their flagship.
It's still the best phone but it's also the one that i have the most to complain about - b/c when it comes to the high end stuff, which they're claiming it to be, it's ALL IN THE LITTLE DETAILS.
These small issues make me think that no one gave a crap about the release of the phone. And judging from the total lack of marketing, I'm guessing this must be the case.

Mine were sensitive depending how I put the case on, now I have the flip case there perfect not loose or stiff.
