For what it's worth I think the stick remote kicks ass too.
I have one on my MZ-E25 and I have to admit I do not see why people have
hassles with it - I use the thing one-handed all the time.
How do I manage this amazing feat? It's easy - I just grab the stick with
my hand and use my thumb and forefinger to work the AMS/play control or vol
controls or whatever. The stop button on the end is easy to find if you
need it, especially when people randomly wander up to you and start talking
(how big do headphones have to be before people realise you've got a walkman
on??) - other remotes have had a less obvious stop button and that is a real
pain in the ass.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between this stick remote (the
first one sony came out with) and the newer more streamlined one?
I've also got a sony CD (E707?) player with an oval style back-lit remote
and by comparison it is the dumbest remote I've ever come across. It has a
jog lever at the bottom and it is almost impossible to adjust anything
without hitting the lever and skipping the track you're listening to - now
THAT'S irritating...

Am I the only one who thinks it's brilliant? I have no problems with
changing songs without hitting the stop button, but that might have to do
with the size of my fingers.
The only thing that bothers me about it are the Display and Play mode
buttons, which are hard to press. A millimeter or two more would really have
helped, but apart from that I love it.
