ARGH...
(small rant time, caused by a few years of frustration with thumb keyboards designed by complete idiots)
Do mobile phone thumb keyboard designers have any clue whatsoever? Are their heads firmly lodged in their butts? Do they ever even bother to actually USE the devices they design? (this isn't just Nokia, I've got a Samsung with a similarly brain damaged keyboard layout; and neither the nokia's nor the samsungs that I've used with control keys have them as toggle keys, which would at least make them usable)
How the F are you supposed to do a control-C on this thing? Or a control-D? Control-X or V?
The most common control key sequences are all RIGHT thumb keys. Having the control key on the right side works for full sized keyboards because you've got MORE THAN ONE FINGER to use at a time. THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR THUMB KEYBOARDS. IT'S F'ING ASININE TO PUT A CONTROL KEY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF A THUMB KEYBOARD.
*****s.
(end of rant)
