I like the T2/T3 design, T1's not that much (I had to learn them or to read their labels, whereas the buttons of T2/T3 are immediately identified in their function).

You're right about the change. Not sure why I thought the T1 was the same (getting old
. I prefer the T1 approach but I'd go for circular concave buttons that are more distinctly separated from each other, not those thin strips. I'd also raise the Sony logo and the icons so your finger doesn't cover the icon for each button so easily. I'd also dispense with what I'm assuming is silver paint on the buttons.

I don't care for metal, but I have aversions to making plastic look like it. For wear reasons as well as ruining the aesthetics. I'd much rather they offered uncoated plastics than make a faux metal look. Just my personal issues with silver paint. A plastic device I have nothing against; and wi-fi devices are more easily designed with a plastic case, unlike Sony's earlier metal units.
