Android has its own back key, so there's no need to overload the backspace button to navigate back/forward. It can easily be triggered by accident if the user thinks a form field is focused, but ends up navigating instead. We've also suffered multiple bugs where the action is triggered even when a form field should be focused (bug 611592, bug 627849).

This seems pretty reasonable to me. I would even start to think about removing the shortcut entirely, not just for Android.

I find it very useful on N900, so I'd hope to keep it there if possible.
