Removing the mute switch for the action button is a step backwards; if I upgrade I'd not be able to feel in my pocket that my phone is on mute.

They claimed a different haptic feedback for on vs off, so if that's true you will be able to tell the mode you've toggled into by feel.

Current switch you can feel just be position -- don't need to toggle. You can also tell just by visual inspection.

"Action button" feels like a gimmick, and I agree, backwards for usability.

Ya - better that purely visual I guess - yet I'd need to toggle it to tell, unlike now

Wow, this is something I do all the time as well.
