Just?

i guess its a bit harder on the N810 tho as one have to extend the keyboard to get at the dpad...

more like annoying for both.
My reset button is behind the screen.
Whether I have to reach for a stylus or press a power button, the effect is the same.

The ACTIONS of the current wireless configuration applet are perfect.
Its the UI to open it that I don't like.

want to go back online? fire up whatever i want to use (browser, mail, rss for example), hit refresh or select page i want to go to, hit center dpad on the message that pops up, select network in dialog (thanks for not fixing that one, nokia!).

I mainly use SSH with my machine (i do all on device compilation) going online is simply that - making the device accessible to the network.
I shouldn't have to reach round the back just for that, again the network configuration applet works its just not easily accessible.

and even then im perfectly able to use the nail on my index finger as stylus for most ui tasks where the thumb or full finger would be to large.

You don't bite your nails like me.

I use my tablet all the time, and I have a great experience with it but then when I need to do silly things it frustrates me.

It doesn't matter anyway, i've started building myself a brightness applet inside liqbase
