Windows Mobile 5 Still Needs Stylus
WM5 has made vast improvements in the UI avoiding the need for a stylus, but there are still some places it makes total sense to use the new soft-keys, yet it doesn't.

Hi Ed
Nice Blog! I'd like to ask if in WM5 the dpad can switch between the 'buttons' meaning moving the dpad left or right will select 'yes' or 'no' and hitting the center [action] button will execute the command... i think in WM2003SE this can be done for some stuff. Is this gone in WM5?
Yes, that does work usually. I have seen some instances in tabbed dialogs where the "focus" gets lost and you have to grab the stylus, but with the basic Yes/No, you can at least do what you outlined.
