thats one of the biggest changes in my opinion. I think it is for the better though.
Yall agree?
I can't say for sure because all of my qwerty keyboard phones have had the space bar buttons on the side so that's what I'm used to when texting.
I defintely wouldn't consider that one of the biggest changes though. I'd say things like the added accelerometer, the music multitasking, the document viewer, and the OTA home software update capability would qualify as some of the biggest changes. The space bar move is more of a superficial change.
I see where your comin from.
I guess it depends on the user.
I remember borrowing my friend's Env 2 to text or my stepdads Voyager just to mess around and i couldnt type at all becuase space was on sides... just doesnt work for me.
