Which palm and what button layout

I'm watching some of these games, and I see skills I don't think are possible with my PDA.

I'm just curious what PDA people use and what button layout they use.

Thanks!

Mr.pickle.

iv got a zire 72.
I use the 5 way navigator at the bottom,up makes the bike go forward,down is brake,left is left,right is right pretty simple.

but I don't think that different things are posible depending on your palm,it may show up diferent but im pretty sure that it doesent effect the actual gameplay,but thats just me...........

Z22 and accelerate = up, brake = down, left = lean left, right = lean right, turn around = select.

This has been discussed before, but I play regularly on the Tapwave Zodiac and Palm T3.
You can customize the controls, so every Palm should be able to play the game without a handicap.
The only thing like this I remember, is You Qi did not realize he could accelerate and balance at the same time, because he had a Sony Clie with "jog dial."

I'm using a T|X, and use the Home button as left and the calendar button as right. Sometimes it seems like it does not recognize me pressing the buttons or I have to press 2 times to get it to work.

I had it using the 5 way, but I thought the app buttons would work better. Perhaps I'll try going back.

im using a treo 700p and i hate the cramped button layout with a passion because my thumb is always over the power button...
i dont know how poeple us just the 5 way navigator to play because i have to be able to lean and brake/pedal at the same time. i use the 5 way for up=pedal and down=brake then i use the message and home keys for leaning.

5 way

T3 - more than one control button on the DPad makes for difficult combinations.
Forward: Memos - Right top button
Brake: Tasks - Right bottom button
Balance Left: Contacts - Left bottom button
Balance Right: Left DPad
Flip: Calendar - Left top Button

All of my times have been achieved using the 5 way on the Treo 650. I have never played BoD on anything else

I use just the 5 way buttons, now on Treo 680 and previously TE/2. No noticeable difference in control between devices.
Any specific tricks in mind?
