Nice job! All great points. I thought it might just have been me, but you are right about the battery cover. I don't think there will be a comment ever that it is too loose. I think a lot of thought went making this user friendly with such things as the additions/choices under settings. Carrying around and charging two batteries for most people, especially traveling, is a little ackward so I would think many will be buying an extended battery. Other than that, I just the wish the keyboard and the navigation dial were more tactile and defined.

Great review! I was very impressed with the video quality! The sound quality is very loud. Looking forward to getting one.

Yeah maybe if there is a extended battery the cover that comes with it might be easier to remove. But at that point you won't need to.

It's a "high end" duct tape you can probably get at any hardware store. It's a tad thicker than most. I'm still looking into finding a ruber o-ring or something I can glue or stick on there... Although the tape is working great in time it will probably get thinner after rocking the rocker for a while.

Thanks. I tried some o-rings from home depot and Lowes. They were all too thick and made it difficult to press the OK button. I was looking for a thinner rubber washer but didn't find any.

I'm going to try and find some egrips.

I think I'm still going to try an o-ring then add something to the ok button to help it stick out... The things we do.

I like the eGrips. I think i'm going to order the circular ones to save me some cutting.

Since the jog dial is on the right side of the phone, I'm just wondering if it's easy scrolling with the index finger?

what prog was he using in the video at qwertybar.com
http://www.qwertybar.com/blackjack/blackjack.wmv

to watch tv?

slingbox?

can you do that with orb? you have to have a video card for your pc that has a tv tuner or something right? and then plug the coax cable into that?

what if you have cable modem already. guess you would hae to put a splitter there going into cable modem and your pc?

man i really want tv on the go, would be even better to access progs off my dvr but live tv would be good too or both.

seems like a lot of trouble though and dont have tv tuner on my pc cus tv is right in the room.
