1.   A keypad cleverly embedded among the right-hand letters may be turned on with a function key, or a detachable number pad may be ordered.

2.   It rotates and tilts, and the number pad may be moved to the right, left or center position.

3.   Regardless of speed, browsing the Web with a five-line screen and a tiny number pad is not a very gratifying experience.

4.   There is neither a Scroll Lock key nor an embedded number pad.

5.   Typically, the number pad is the first to go, then the large keys get trimmed, then the entire keyboard is shrunk.

6.   While many ATMs are equipped with Braille signs and number pads, they are next to useless because they do not explain what is happening on the screen.
