That would be so much slower. I use back and home quite frequently on my phone; I would hate another key press. Also is accidentally hitting keys a frequent problem? On my hero, that has never happened.

It's a big problem on phones that use touch sensitive keys placed directly under the screen. Your back or home button can be uncomfortably close to the spacebar on the keyboard.

  Using Nexus One for 6 months, and have total of may be 6 accidental hits to those keys.

    Using Droid Eris for 6 months, and probably do it every 2nd time I type something.

I am constantly accidentally hitting the touch buttons on my Moto Droid.

Based on all of these responses, I'm wondering if the Hero's key layout (2x2 matrix of buttons) is better than the droid/N1's. The hero's buttons are farther from the screen, therefore impossible to ever hit accidentally. (Also those who have issues with accidental keypresses should give swype a try -- since you rarely tap keys, the accident rate should drop.)
