The Small Things

[katmandoo122]

We all know by now about the screen, the camera, the speed, etc., but what about the small things...the things that make the difference between good and great? Here are a couple things I've noticed that I really like that makes this phone seem almost Apple-like, if that's not too blasphemous (I do not like iPhones but give credit where credit is due..they do a nice job of customer experience):

• "Back" button: When you are typing, the "back" button becomes a "down" button so that the user knows that hitting it hides the keyboard - didn't think of that when they announce virtual buttons but i like it
  
• Headphone removal - great integration of headphone removal with music on the always on - pull the headphones and the face widget disappears (and it's nice to have a jack in the first place!)
  
• Iris scanner - wow - so fast and smooth that sometimes I thought it wasn't working. It is my preferred way of unlocking the phone now.

So...do you have any small things you like?

I like that it appears to have less of an angled curve screen compared to the seven edge

With my work email I like how the search feature works it's very quick and highlights the keywords
