I prefer the buttons at the bottom myself. Better
for one handed use

A lot of people find buttons at the top better for one handed use. This
is because holding the unit naturally in the hand the thumb can easily
operate the buttons without obscuring the screen. Doing the same with
buttons at the bottom requires holding the unit well away from the
centre of gravity which is more awkward and less natural.

If you forget about pressing buttons and just naturally hold the unit in
the most comfortable and stable way you will probably notice how well
your thumb is placed to operate buttons at the top.

I have used both styles extensively and greatly prefer the buttons at
the top for hand-held use.

That hasn't been my experience. In any event, I got the 60csx. I'm
going to play with it a bit more before giving my impressions, but off
the top of my head, I don't find it to be much more accurate than my
old emap. That said, having a 1Gbyte memory inside is a hell of a lot
better than 16MBytes in my emap. I saw the link in this usenet group
regarding combining maps, which is something I need to do to at least
fill it with the western US CDROM.

Somewhere on the net is a website where you enter rough coordinates,
and it spits out calibrated locations. If anyone has that handy, let
me know. Don't go googling on my account though....

Oh yeah, I can operate a blackberry one handed. Keyboard at the bottom
of course. ;-)
