Thank you for your answer. Well, as for haptics on buttons, at least on symbian, most controls have a subtle click... that I think really helps to know a touch has been registered. As long as it is only a click, and not a buzz, It should be ok. But opt-in is fine with me. Better yet, if feedback can be user customized, with a mix of sounds and haptics. I suppose not all devices will have the same capabilities.
I think I will make the keypad more similar to the virtual keyboard; that will avoid the "haptics" overlapping problem. Too bad the QtFeedack is not cleared for the store anyway...
