I am also left handed, and really wish Microsoft would add some left handed features, such as moving the scroll bar to the left side. They does this on some of the Table PC applications, but I have a feeling they are trying to keep the ROM size down so things like this get left out.

Yet even being left handed, when it comes to using a pointing device, I prefer it on the right side. I really have no clue why they changed the way the slider opens on the newer PocketPC devices with the pointing device on the left side. The T-Mobile Wing also slides out in the same way the Mogul does and all my right handed friends hate having to try to point with the left side.

I have at least found that when in landscape mode I can use the jog dial which is then on the top right hand side to scroll through web pages, so that at least makes it somewhat bearable, but I wish the OK button next to the job dial could have more of a dynamic definition to it's function. If you were in IE, for example, it would act as a Back button instead of an OK button.
