I'm sure the team working on a tutorial, but writing the documentation can be tougher than getting the hardware to work. ;-)
Keep an eye on the Adafruit blog for an announcement when it's ready to go.

Hello Mike,
It would be nice if we can program our own keys, say i buy button from adafruit then I can assign each physical button to a key.
It seems like everything is currently being done on serial monitor and interfacing with other hardware is limited?
correct me if i am wrong
thank you

Re: Fona and tutorial
You need some kind of serial/UART connection to send information to the chip, yes.
The chip doesn't know anything about buttons, and a button isn't expressive enough to create the kinds of signals the chip needs. As with any other cell phone, you'll need a separate circuit to handle the user interface and translate button presses to signals the chip can use.
