anyone facing difficulty with the hardware? loose sliders and such?

I like the feature of E65 but still skeptical to change from my battery strong w810 to a E65. hhmmm

I have this phone for a few days now, changing from n73. Everything is nice and all but there is one thing that always made me sceptical about buying slider phones and it is still bothering me now.
It is the placement of the directional key and the cancel key

For an example, i need to sms "BAS", ill need to press B and then the right directional button and then press A which i find it really hard for a slider. Same goes if i want to cancel an alphabet, ill need to stretch my fingers as well.

Am i doing this wrongly? Can someone help me out on this? Thanks
