Is this normal for the power button? + a few rooting questions

I just noticed this and I don't know if it has been persistent ever since I bought the phone but the power button is slightly "inner" than the volume and the camera button, thus, making it hard to press it at certain angles. Does your Active have the same issue? I'm worried the power button is already worned out. O:

But I just bought it this April!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just rooted my Gingerbread with firmware .62. So far, I want to know what the latest ICS firmware is (the one I know is 4.0.4, is this the latest) and also, will flashing ICS onto my GB delete my apps and settings? When I rooted GB, I had to downgrade to firmware .42 then re-update to .62 and no data on my phone got wiped out in the process. I want to know if this is the same thing when I do it with ICS.

Power button is "less proud" than the other two.

What about the power button thing?

I rooted .62 by following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626215

But instead of using Xperia Mini's FTF file, I used this instead:

I don't have the Xperia Active so I can't tell you if that's normal or not

I tried to download the BackupX10 but it won't install for some reason.
