I'll not suggest to use double click to search dictionary, because the T1 touch response is not fast already, waiting a possible double click could make the regular single click slower in response.

With all due respect, but I completely disagree. I almost exclusively read books in foreign languages and constantly use the dictionary lookup. Getting extra steps built into the user interface to look up words would seriously irritate me. It's the second best way to look up words. The best way is the double-tap, which is the lookup in the x50 models. It's slightly faster. But then, in the T1 the tap-and-hold brings up a whole context menu, including wikipedia lookup, highlighting and notes. The latter two were less easy to do in the x50 models. So altogether, it still is the best UI for me.
