Can't please everyone I guess 

They've got rid of the trackball, which is a shame because I thought that worked far better than the wheel thing, which they've retained.

Does *anyone* do video calling?!

"and the device can now accept Micro SD cards of up to 1GB in size" - my current Orbit has a 2GB card in it, which has always worked fine!
