Good news, bad news

While I am glad that Casio is still in the handheld business, it appears that their designers haven't learned from Sony's mistakes.

While they do have a higher capacity PocketPC design out there, I still see little "Chicklet" type application buttons that are too small to be useful (i.e. Clie T-series). I just wonder sometimes what in the world such people are thinking. Then again, the PocketPC designers probably don't visit Cliesource or Palm forums much anyway...

Looks like Sony sold them their supply of leftover T series buttons.

I agree.

In the Auto Industry "especially aftermarket" you can "retrofit" cars with items that work better than original.

Wish I could do that with the buttons on my 615.

I don't mind the chicklet buttons at all, it's the chiclet rocker switch that bothers me. The Casio seems to have a normal rocker.

I can see how this would be a pain to use for games though (I don't play games too much, at least not arcade type games that involve lots of button pressing).

Exactly what I was going to say. Those buttons are fine for what they do: provide plenty of surface area to press.

Now, as for that extented battery attachment in the first photo...... WHEEEEEEE~~~ DOGGIE!!!!!! That's a big mofo.
