Okay, the closest indication I have found so
far that navigation with physical buttons may be possible is in this
article
where it says,
"Available in South Korea, Samsung positions the
device as providing the intuitiveness of flip phones, but with smartphone
features.
The former is achieved by a large keypad, with
separate shortcut buttons for contacts, texting, social, and camera next to
the D-pad. Just above are the
familiar Android navigation bar buttons, but
in physical form.".

I haven't looked at much information but it
appears to me that the buttons are used for dialing numbers and for typing
letters using the 2 equals A, B, C, system. I haven't read much so I
don't know if the numbers do more but I'm not optimistic that they do or
that they do much more.
This is a touch screen phone and, as I've said
before, sighted people may be interested in writing letters and numbers not
using a touch screen but not in navigating the phone in that
way.

I would hold off on the celebrations as there is no clear
indication I have
found so far about what is and isn't possible using
buttons on the Folder 2.
