But when I grab it, I grab it by the top and so pulling it out means I'm holding it by the top. So I have to rotate it in my hand. With the HD2 I just pull it out by the base and I'm holding it in the right location..

Some of these first few are simple usability/use case things but I do find it a bit hard to believe these situations are out of the ordinary and I'm the only one who thinks this?

I really dislike hand held anything with the audio jack on the bottom.

The first gadget where I realized this was a problem was my Kindle 1. It could play music while reading, but I did't like being poked in the belly with the audio plug body.

Kindle is a bit different since it's only real use is holding it to read but I get what you're saying. A right angle headphone plug works wonders too.
