The first thing you've got to do with a Pocket PC to make it more usable one-handed is installDynamo. This freeware gem is essentially Mac OS's Exposé for Windows Mobile. When run, it shows you thumbnails of each of your running applications, which you can then select via the d-pad or close by pressing and holding the d-pad over the selected thumbnail. This gives you a quick, easy and visual way tomanage your running applications and close stuff you're no longer using. The secret to one-handed use? Assign Dynamo to a button on your device. On my PPC-6700, I have Dynamo set to the "Internet Explorer" button on the side of the unit just below the volume slider and I can not only manage my applications one-handed, but switch between them far faster than I ever could with my Treo 650. Oh, and while I'm on the subject of button assignments, if your device doesn't have dedicated buttons for Start and OK, assign them. Even if you have to give up whatever those buttons were originally mapped to (Calendar, Messaging, etc.), you'll get far more use out of having physical buttons for Start and OK.
