Past devices inc n70, n80, n95, n96, n85, 6120c, 6220c

All consoles (incuding handheld) that I've used have the d-pad on the left side, why would that be a problem? And I'm left-handed but can use my right hand fairly well (eg. I play basketball left-handed, but play racquet sports right-handed).

I haven't found Nokia d-pads to be very good. A joystick like on the Sony Ericsson K800i was quite good, although it did pick up a lot of dirt quickly.
