‘ The Galaxy S III will not be home button free! ‘
New round Galaxy S III Rumors:
Samsung has decided on keeping the hardware home button on its next Galaxy flagship.
In our eyes it will be a fail for the die-hard Android users. But we also understand the way of Samsung. Many Galaxy S II users will buy faster a Galaxy S III if the design looks more the same so with home button.
Another detail is that Samsung will use the same 5-column layout as the Galaxy Note.
On May 22 Samsung will present their new Galaxy S III in London.
We of SamMobile will try to be there to fix some hands-on.

There’s no way that Samsung will have a physical home button! Whomever is trying to sell this nonsense, is on crack!
Personally the presence of a home button was one of the biggest reasons I went for a Galaxy SII as opposed to other model phones. Having to fumble for a power button is much more difficult than just hitting the home hardware button to wake the phone up.
If the “die-hard Android users” are so upset they should go purchase a Galaxy Nexus which has the original button-less setup that Google designed.
I rather prefer a hardware home button because it’s a distinct marker on the device !! They should patent it !
The presence of a home button does no harm.
I much prefer the presence and use of a Home button than not. Look at the Galaxy tablets, It is such a hassle.
