I think that the design of the GKDX was that way because of the size.
Think about it, it is heavier than the k3. And if you're typing notes or making highlights, you are holding the bottom/sides of the dx and using the joystick- and while the GKDX isn't top heavy, the fact that it is long and has some weight to it means that it is probably better that you're holding it on the side.
As to the left hand side buttons, I always thought that was because you need someplace to hold the thing, but...
I'm not underwhelmed with it at all; and I'm sure all of the software improvements that the K3 received are going to come to the GKDX.
