Fincher: Side keys

I wouldn't hate side keys so much if they would just put them on the top half of the phone. Also, selecting "disable" on the LG's doesn't do enough. Voice memo still comes up. Beeps still happen. Guess I'll hafta go out and buy me some super-glue, cement, and a hacksaw if I want any of the newer phones. 😲
By the way, Samsung does a great job on their phones in this regard. I wish the USCC "big-wigs" would check out the phones for sale at a Sprint store. It'd open up their eyes.

Trust me, USCC would LOVE to be able to sell Samsung phones. But Samsung won't sell to them because they don't order enough phones

I don't think its solely because USCC won't order enough phones. If that's the case, then Samsung loses. Other manufacturers are faced with the same issue, and yet you see the same model or cousin of the model carried by the larger carriers with USCC. The only given is that Alltel and USCC have to wait until Verizon completes its exclusive on a phone, usually 3-4 months.

Actually Justpeachy is right. Samsung requires carriers to buy in bulk. More than LG, or Motorola, cuase we do not buy that many, we do not get to buy them at all.

Also most manufactuers have contracts with specific carriers to sell threw them. Another reason why USCC doesn't sell samsung.

Fincher is right, Samsung loose's!

Well, on the newer Motos the side keys aren't as sensitive to the touch.
