Good question.
I'm right-handed, so I use the left to hold the unit.
That invariably puts my thumb over the sensor.
Irritating.

As much as I like my 810, whoever designed the hardware layout (button
sizes, d-pad on keyboard, etc.) needs to be taken into a dark alley and
beaten.

The 770 had a much more user-friendly design.

I have to agree I don't like the d-pad or menu button next to the keyboard.  
It needs to be on the front like the last two.
