GS2 camera button?

[4ngi3]

So I'm looking at getting the GS2 from the HTC Desire but I've read somewhere that the camera button is badly placed on the GS2? Or something along those lines?? Can anyone confirm that? Aparently sometimes if you try to take a photo, you turn your phone off by accident if you hit the wrong button?? Or something like that.

I was comparing GS2 to the HTC Sensation both of which are coming out at the end of this month on my carrier in Australia. But everything that bugs me about the Desire (battery life, camera, internal memory) is resolved in the GS2 on paper but not sure if this camera button thing might bug me too much.


Edit: oops sorry no its not the camera button its the power button... quote from review i read: "The one thing I dislike about the SGS2 is the power button
. It is on the side of the phone and not well thought of. For e.g when I am taking a picture I always hit the power button and turn the unit off because of the way I hold it, and because the phone is thin as it is, you are bound to hit that key at some stage. Most annoying. Big plus for HTC to put the power button at the top. so much easier to turn the phone off this way."

anyone else find they do this?

Ive never had that problem, dont see how anyone could, bit daft if you ask me. One thing I will say is unless you plan on rooting and flashing another rom, battery life isnt much better than the desire.

well i suppose battery life isn't that important to me, i'm so used to charging my phone everynight anyway. but thanks for the reply. yea i had a look at where the power button is and i didn't thinkt hat i would hold te phone like that and accidently hit the power button. its pretty far in from the edge of the phone.
