I tried adding a test contact with a birthday today. Nothing showed up in the events view. I'll try adding one for tomorrow and see if it shows up. No, there is no fast way to scroll all the way back up. But I should add that the browser all in all seems a bit unfinished, with such features as bookmarks, history and find in page missing (if I'm not just looking in the wrong places). I suspect these will be added later, and maybe the reverse scroll will be too. I'm not sure what you are referring to as status menu bar? Are you thinking of the status bar showing battery level, time, network info etc?
