For the most part, the buttons on the device will act as a keyboard. Any special buttons on the device that you want to get hooked into, you're going to need the keycodes of those keys to be able to get them.

What you could look for is some source code so you could write a small app to hook into all key events and then log out the keys you press so you can intercept them in your code. I don't have an example of that.

I would say check out the HTC developer site, but that is pretty much the most useless developer site I've ever seen. Considering they manufacture the hardware, there doesn't seem to be much readily available.
