No other company can achieve the same level of detail no matter how they try or copy. It's just a fact. Thankfully, you don't have to be "neat" or anal about your UI to appreciate that. It's there, you use it and you feel awkward as you said, when it doesn't work as it should. Apple is obsessive and very anal when they design interfaces.

Do these keys still have any uses when you turn the phone though? I don't have any experience with the G1 or the 5800 so can't really comment much — just thinking that perhaps when you use the phone in landscape mode those keys aren't the main controls buttons as the focus shifts to the touch screen... I dunno :p Great point about the iPhone's symmetrical home icon — haven't thought about it this way and always wondered why they chose that generic shape. Interesting point.
