So yeah -- I will immediately make the lower button be FORWARD. I'm surprised they default it the other way.
My thinking was just like yours until I held it. I'm sure that it depends on the size of your hand, but until you've held it you can't appreciate how small it is. And the forward button on top becomes the location of choice, for me at least.
