Its a nice to have on a device, but a 90 degree rotate for the icon wont make me go "ooooh, that was the home button, not the back button". I think I could understand that the button on the left will always be home, even when I flip my phone to landscape mode.
Now one thing that would have been cooler would be to allow users to remap the keys. So many android phones are fragmented in their button placement. On my Droid X I know the menu button is on the far left. I dont even look, I know its there so I click without looking. If I owned this phone I can see myself accidentally always going to home if I thought I was hitting the menu button within an app.
