ah, it all just seems a bit of a shame - I agree with the guy who uses his d-pad for scolling ebooks/pdfs, with the other poster who uses drop down menus and then d-pad for executing commands (I've found myself doing that more, not less).

i think the keypad is great, but I didn't go for the 810 because you have to open it to get to the d pad. now it seems that won't be too much of a worry for the 900

still, i like to go forward rather than back, i suppose I just don't want to wait too long!
