How sad. You couldn't pick up my Nexus 5. I hope you find a phone with all the buttons you want. You won't, of course, but I'm pulling for you.

I won't ever get an Android Phone, that's true. Not only because of the buttons.
My current phone has a home button, a search button, a back button, two volume buttons, a power button and a camera button. So I've had a phone that I want for almost 2 years already (considering this is my first smartphone, my previous had even more buttons
)

So have plenty of other Android phones. And the concept art of my proposed new phone (the Lumia 940XL) will have a physical home button as well.
My idea is: why have a bezel if you don't use it?
In case of the home button on phones, why remove a functional part of the screen while you have a non-functional part underneath it?
In case of the various ereaders out there, you have a bezel on the side so people can hold the device without having to touch the screen, why not add some buttons there? They don't have to stick out, they can be stylishly put away, but at least offer the opportunity.
