The activation mechanism seems utterly stupid. You press the button twice to activate the camera, but I find that I often don't get it quite right. So I have to repeat. That puts me on 4 presses, 1 off the number required to dial 999. This is not good. In fact it's utterly stupid. And, of course, if the phone is in, say, a tight pocket, that button could be getting repeatedly bumped.
