Dell has released a patch that allows the DPad to be pushed in for the "action" button, just like the HP/Compaq iPaq PocketPC's DPad.

I know that this has been an issue with many users, especially on the PocketQuake forum. It looks like Dell listens, and is quite quick to the draw.
May this be a sign of things to come.

hell ya, now if they'll fix the direction sticking thing. Lemme tell you its annoying as you know what when your playing a game and suddenly you just keep going the same direction :-/

Cool... not sure if I'll want it, though. I'm used to pushing in the D-pad when moving in a direction. Oh well, I'll try it. Here's hoping it's reversible...

[edit] Never mind, it is. I deleted it since pressing "up" activates the action button a bit too often. I have no need for it either.

Hmm... that could be true. However, to the best of my knowledge, when the D-Pad is pressed down without the patch, no directions are registered.

How could they be registered, if you are going up and down, left and right at the same time?

Tried it and deleted it within 5 min.

Simply am too used to liberally holding it the dpad while I roll it in different directions.
