I can never quite get past the button arrangement on the 505. Even with hacks installed to allow button reassignment, its STILL always has felt weird to me to have no potential page turning button on the upper left side. The way I believe MOST right handed people would hold the unit is in their left hand, with the hand positioned more than halfway up (to be able to hold the weight--especially with a cover on), because they usually feel more comfortable with their dominant hand free.

So not having a button there, by my left thumb? Always bugged me.

I dunno. Maybe its just me. Maybe all the OTHER right handed people actually prefer holding it in their "dominant" hand.

That said, the screen is unparalleled. I have in recent months been using as Astak Pocket Pro I got as a gift, and quite like it for various other reasons, but there's no denying how superior the screen of the 505 is.
