And as always, can change very close to flight date. My reservation for 16H (2-5-2) went 'poof' the other day - ended up in 40D (aisle/bulkhead).
Didn't notice the call button issue (ORD/SFO), maybe it's been remedied somehow (but only a single data point).
Also, noticed that, similar to the bulkhead center seats on the 787s, there's a movable armrest between 40E/F. The bulkhead seats have the call button and light switch mounted in the fixed partition, and the power is below you.
One other comment -- it was stated earlier in the thread that the blue light indicating power usage was new -- not so, it's been on the 737s for as long as I can remember.
