Recently I had a chance to handle a coworker’s HTC EVO 4G. I was immediately confused by the fact the 4 buttons were in a different order than the Android devices I was used to. Namely the Motorola Droid and the HTC (Google) Nexus One. I started investigating the button order on other Android devices. This what I found:
