Did anyone else notice the HP iPAQ 600 Series Business Navigator doesn't have a directional key? Seems weird to have a keyboard at all since you will need to have the stylus in your hand to navigate between controls anyway. So surely its easier to use the onscreen keyboard instead of the hard number based one?

Apparently it has some special technology to use keypad as cursor pad! |

Is it only me seeing that the 900 Series (the one which is shown on the pic here in MSMobiles.com) has such a high resolution, that I can't believe it's 240x320 but more like 480x640?
And yes, I know that it's 240x320 in the specs. |

No, you're not the only one - I had exactly the same thought - the text is so small, and there's so much information crammed onto it, that I thought it was a landscape VGA display for sure! |

Looks just like my Q9m screen - which is 320x240.

yeh it is this odd thing where there is a circular ridge on the keys and it must be able to detect when your finger is resting on a key and when you change keys it registers a movement. Basically its the same as the jog wheel on the XDA orbit but without the mechanical wheel. I also read this ipaq has a up down jog button on the top left. So 2 weirdo ways to navigate instead of 1 good directional key pad, crazy! Havn't they learned from the HX4700???
