The mystery carousel of uselessness key.  If the menu button wasn’t obscure enough (my wife has never pressed it on her N95 in 18 months) there an additional ‘new’ button on FP2 nokias - I don’t know what its called - it has no name, no icon - its just there. Pressing it launches a kind of redundant spinning flaming logo shortcuts menu - much like the one that mysteriously appeared now and then on the n95. At least it has some use - links to recent files etc. but the carousel UI is very clunky. A bit like the ps3 xbm but less speedy and more mysterious. It seems a redundant addition, I’d like to think I will use it - but I just cant imagine why.
16 buttons on the bottom area
left-softkey, right softkey, up, down, left, right, navi-pad-button, green key, red key, menu key, delete key, play/pause, rewind, forward, stop and media key - plus the currently not workin navi wheel!
