The 770/N800 wasn't exactly designed with gaming in mind, but even without considering gaming, I find it pretty difficult to understand why they didn't include a few application assignable buttons on the right side of the screen. I can understand the oversight in a version 1.0 device, but not by the time the n800 was under design. I also feel like the buttons on the n800 are a big step backwards from those of the 770. The merger of the seperate desktop/menu/back buttons into on button with little tactile feedback and the similar merger and chicletizing of the top keys make the n800 much more unpleasant to use for many tasks, particularly ebook reading. I am surprised by how many things I still find the 770 to be better at.
