TakePHone v7.00 build 056
I think I've figured out part of the problem. It seems when I press
the Down I have to do it in the right spot -- and a little harder --
than I do the other three directions. I guess I try to hit it the same
way as I did the 650 and it doesn't work. But if I move my thumbnail in
toward the center of the ring, or press a little more deliberately, it
works better.
So maybe some of what I was blaming on delay (although you're right
about some delay getting into a new application) might be hardware.
And that's the trouble with a new device: you're never really
certain whether you're just not holding your mouth right, or maybe
there's really a problem somewhere.
