4 5 6
1 2 3

8<>up , 4<>left , etc , 5<>OK

( 7 , 9 , 1 , 3 might be used for diagonal movement )

Hmm, sounds too fiddly for quick use. With the d-pad, you know that there are only four directions, and it's practically impossible to click it wrong. Also, when typing numbers and you go back, you'd have to keep switching number lock on and off. Johnkzin has the right idea; put the d-pad and back/menu/home back on the face where it belongs!
