   The design is correct. You have to slide the button instead of pressing   
   it, because you can easily press the button accidentally, even inside   
   your pocket. It is rare to slide the button accidentally.   
      
   What is incorrect is the absence of instruction booklet; and when it   
   does exist, it doesn't explain these things, that are unique to touch   
   screen phones.
