If you explain the problem someone might be able to assist you, whats the problem with your power button??

Agreed... what is the problem with your power button?

If it is that it's too "flat" against the case, not rasied enough, that has been noticed from some of the earlier units.

[diamantaire]

yeah could say so thats its a bit flat !!

[JSanders Resident Expert]

Yep!
You could always go to where you bought yours and check some others, and see if they will exchange it.
Also -- if you've performed the latest Playbook upgrades, if you touch the battery symbol at the top right, you'll see options for turning off, sleep, etc., which in many cases will keep you from needing to use that physical power button.

I personally find the power button to be very practical, it is indeed very flush with the device, but I have no issues using it, I honestly think that this issue is of a personal preference to many who have the PB, there is a great demo on you tube that puts this so called myth to rest.

Being a big blackberry fanI bought my pb from nyc but I live in Belgium where it is still to be launched hence going to the store not an option.

Already have the updates loaded .

The power button is a bit fiddly especially for those of us with big hands! However I very rarely use the button so it is not a problem; as JSanders points out the latest update includes 'switches' from the power icon and to wake up just run your finger up and down from the bottom bezel.
