For me, the only "hard" part is remembering some of the combo keys (e.g.
ON-PLAY, F1-DOWN etc). I have now used ON-PLAY often enough that I
remember it without referring to docs, but I hadn't "learned" the keypad
lock combo until the last day or two.

All the rest of it is simple once you get used to the F-key functionality,
which is not labelled like it was on Archos.
