The argument "it works for both" isn't logical, and in practice such decisions rarely work well in the real world - this is a prime example. The N800 (and also the 770) design is biased towards right handed people, and gives no concession to lefties. Lets face it, the software doesn't even support left handed people either as there is no RandR support - this wouldn't be hard to implement as a standard feature. I'm not proposing that Nokia are sued for completely ignoring the requirements of a substantial proportion of the worlds population, but eventually I hope *someone* is sued and maybe then firms like Nokia will take note and design products accordingly.
