I'm moving my daughter and wife over to a VZW family plan from Cingular. I noticed there is no way to customize the outside buttons or the 4-way navigation pad for one touch selection without multiple "clicks." (This is especially important if driving, because the last thing you want to do is dive into menus looking for stuff).

The pet peeves are too numerous to mention, so I will just go over a few of them - and the question is, does anybody have any solutions to these, or are we stuck?
