TJ35 Back Button?

What's the story with the back button on the TJ series? I have a TJ35 on order, so I'll find out soon enough, but I've heard conflicting reports. There's no seperate back button apparent, but somewhere I read that pushing the scroll wheel in some direction, I think, acts as the back button.

Is this true? Can someone who arleady has a TJ Clie clarify this?

Thanks...

Actually, there are two buttons aside the scroll wheel/jog dial. The left is the "back" button and the right one is the "forward" button. Great for reading.

...oh, and you can press the jog dial inward, too. It acts as a "button" as well.

Thanks. I knew about the two left and right buttons, and the ability to select items by pressing down on the jog dial. However, when I briefly played with a TJ25 in Circuit City, the left and right buttons did not work exactly like the back button on my T615.

I think that they're a great addition, but here's where I'm confused:

On my T615, I could navigate through the launcher with the jog dial, select an application such as the Datebook by pressing down on the jog dial, then later press the back button to return to the launcher--all one handed.

When I pressed the left button on the TJ35, after entering the Datebook, it did not return me the launcher--there didn't seem to be any way to get out of the application without using the stylus (or your finger) to hit the home icon.

Is there a way to do this on the TJ35 that I'm missing?

Aaaah. I see. Actually, now that you mention it, it seemed like the Best Buy demo model had that capability, too. I've got the TJ25, and it doesn't allow me to do that, either.
I'll do some digging...
