Since no one answering let me help u..

The price for 8GB currently around rm2500-2600 IINM. u can check the garage sales.
I found the optical pad really helpful, i use it all the time instead pressing the d-pad it self.. it can be enabled for all navigation purposes ( main menu, photo gallery etc), not just the web browser, with limited function that is, where in web browser you can use it just like a touch pad while in the menu its a 4-directional touch pad.. hope this helps.. if u get what i mean laa..
