I hope phones with hardware button will get this feature to!

Nothing special, but it's good to have an extra feature. It might come handy.

i think it's a little but great feature. first things that are broken on a phone are often the hardware buttons. so I try to only wake up the phone with double tap and powering the display off with an app called...I don't know at the moment
it will be easier with this feature!

Haven't had any trouble with my buttons, but it's a good back up to have. Clever.

Every feature is important

Often in life, it is the nice little touches that make you smile and please the most.

If I have my 1520 in a cradle in my car and am on a long trip... The power button is difficult to reach due to the cradle's grip. For the device to be secure it must obscure the power button.

I will certainly use this feature to put the screen to sleep on long stretches when the nav is not needed, but runs in the background and combined with double tap to wake now provides me with a more elegant and well rounded solution to a minor irritant.

Bravo.
