That's a common Android touchscreen problem. I've seen it on a three devices now. I can't explain exactly how to scroll the screen without hitting links, but it can be done.

I don't know how to stop it loading, but the the button with a triangle symbol is a back button. Press it in the middle of a page load to reload the previous page. I agree that a cancel button would be useful.

You can remove the SD card and put it in a reader, and the internal Flash can be accessed from a PC over a USB cable.
To enable the USB mode, first plug in the cable (in the mini USB port). Then look at the LCD screen. Drag down the white bar at the top. Select "Turn on USB Storage". Select "mount" from the menu that pops up.

You can search for the install files online. You might also download
Appslib, which is an open market of free apps.
I believe that on
the Entourage forums there is a topic about what apps work well on the Edge.

only a few hours with this thing and I want to return it. It is a usability nightmare.
posted from an edge, but it took far too long waiting for keyboard input to catch up. Pathetic.

I agree with you about the keyboard. It's both _slow_ and barely usable. If I kept the loaner, I'd get an external keyboard.
I also think that the Edge has a fairly steep learning curve. But once you get used to the Edge, the frustration will pass. I know this from personal experience.
