We differ in opinion there. It does makes sense to have the menu scroll with 
the rest of the page, so that every part of it can be accessed.

Very simple: let everything scroll naturally.

That's just you though ;-)
I use a Nokia N73, with a 2x3 cm screen, and I surf the web all the time. There 
is a cursor, and you can use it to click on things.
Before this, I had an older phone, without cursor, but that one just 
highlighted link after link, so I could still surf the web and follow links. 
I'm sure your Blackberry is good enough to surf the web if you tried.

Your prerogative, but "toy screens" are on the rise - 640x480 and 800x600 are 
quite common. EEE pc and similar laptops don't really have minute screens. Oh, 
and there is of course the iPhone. Also 640 x 480 I think?
