I do a lot of hiking, and I wouldn't go out into an unfamiliar area without a compass and a topo map. GPS is great, but I want something that can't be broken and doesn't rely on batteries.

My 8830 was trashed by a bit of water which splashed through the trackball hole in the keyboard membrane of the Ottercase. I'd rather have a sealed joystick.

While the tethered speed may technically qualify as broadband, it's s-l-o-o-w on my 8830. Still better than nothing when I need to get online and can't find a WiFi hotspot.

Is there a way to make the command buttons on the bottom take up multiple rows instead of scrolling?
