I would rather that big arrow work right than use the camera key. So the big arrow should go back. Back is the most important function on a browser so shouldn't be abolished. Going to history seems to be a cool improvement at first though, but in practice I just find it to be an additional hassle. History is valuable but not as valuable as a true back key.

This is something very weird indeed that i would be intereted to know if the older tablets had this same thing? Because S60 have had this since the the start and i always hated it so i was really surprised to see it with Maemo 5.

I like the idea of remapping the camera button so that gets my vote. I personally don't have a problem with the way the back button works now as I can just use the backspace on the keyboard if I want to go back 1 page immediately, but if I have visited multiple pages in a thread or numerous websites then clicking the onscreen arrow which displays my recent history is just as good as I just do a quick swipe and click to get me back to where I want instead of having to click backspace numerous times (not got a problem with doing that either). I certainly wouldn't be returning my device because of the way the current back button works.

It's indeed stupid, especially considering the fact that there could be a hold-button feature (short touch = back / long touch = history)

I also hate the way the back button shows a history. However, why decide whether is should be one way or the other? Why not just make it a configurable option? That way everybody can have it the way they want.

Not the quickest, but I gather thats what people are looking for, rather then hitting the back key and going to history
