Re: TP = Left handed

I am amazed at the left-right handed flaws. I love how when the keypad is out and you're trying to change the volume via the buttons. that's always fun. and the power button i always seem to nudge when typing away, woulda been nice if the power was slid to the other side of the top, and the volumes on the right, so when you open it, you still can adjust it easily.

also, holding your phone to type on it while it's charging isn't fun either. but that's not this topic.

ps. i'm left handed

Re: TP = Left handed

The TP actually encourages you to use it left handed. I find if I use it righthanded, the keyboard moves too much and the volume buttons are hard to use.

Re: TP = Left handed

I'm left handed and I have no problems using it. It's rather comfortable, actually.

Re: TP = Left handed

I'm left handed and can only turn to the left. This blows!

Re: TP = Left handed

I always thought of teh Mogul as being wrong, as i got used to the 6700.

i prefer the action of the Pro, as it allows me to slide it open without having to switch hands to make it work.

that is, hold it with the right hand, slide it with the thumb and pivot it.

with the mogul, i'd have to open it then switch hands to use it.

Well they do make sissors for lefty and righty so that is a non-issue... but yes the wet ink issue, especially the erasable kind sucks...... and don't get me started on pencil lead, I had a very bad experience with that in school, got an F on a paper becasue of the lead smears since that paper was suppose to be "neat"...long story short, teacher lost that battle....

And I agree on the volume buttons. But really, I have found it very easy to use in the right hand.
