I would have thought that magnets captivated in the plastic sliders, a bit like the VR3 buttons, would be a more corrosion resistant solution - but AP have addressed this with the Vision electronics, by making the buttons a completely different design on the new handset.

I'm not on the Inspiration list yet, due to my unit having to take an unusual route to get to me. It is currently on its way to Germany for the 2nd time in a few weeks and it will arrive here at the end of February, hopefully. I finally gave up waiting and am doing the course on a borrowed unit.
