Hello Annie, I don't want to get off topic but I want to be clear on something as I was toying with the idea of purchasing another Focus, the new model.
Are you saying that the new, smaller, model of the Focus 40 Blue no longer has Wiz Wheels as they existed on the previous model?

Hi Mark. You are reading braille exactly as i am reading. I have asked apple for the possibility to reverse paning buttons since IOS 4, but nothing hapens. I am really disappointed with apple in this case. The only thing I really like about focus 40 blue is these whiz wheels or a sort of rocker buttons that they have been changed to in the new focus.
