Moving the D-Pad to the right side works for me! Just yesterday, I (yet again) hit the escape key (the curly arrow) on the other key instead of the down side of the D-Pad.
Still, I don't think I would buy this thing. I have plenty of apps on the N800 and its main limitations are (1) the screen is not really daylight viewable and (2) the hardware is too cheap for the level of abuse I give it, e.g., the power adapter connector has broken twice. These issues will not improve in a crap knockoff.
The N800 software took me a while to get used to, but I'm pretty happy with it now and can't imagine Windows CE 5.0 will work better. Actually, my Windows experience suggests that it will be worse and will be more likely to try to shoehorn a desktop experience into a handheld form factor.
