has anyone purchased this recently? Did you receive the updated version with the thumb and forefinger guides?

I purchased 2 in March and yes they have the indentations for your thumb and forefinger.

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

Thanks, Luckybook. I have got mine from amazon yesterday. It is fantastic. I have prepared tripod, carrying case, a 1G memor stick pro duo for it and they all fit well. Voila~~

no it doesn't. The instructions strongly recommend practicing often, using the key-pad & finger print. I've found this save to be very beneficial, since I actually did need to quickly access it a few weeks ago.

It is stiffer than the older one I had, springier I guess. Surprisingly enough, my thumb is doing fine and I use it a lot. I have not had to use my wrist / thumb brace at all that I can remember with it. It also may have to do with the scroll ring which I really like and use more and more instead of holding down the button to scroll. Maybe you just need to use it for a few days to see. Hope this helps. :)

Am on a trip now, and LOVE the G9. Haven't printed the pictures yet, so should update in a few weeks, but the convenience and flexibility for manual options in my case, a permanent amateur, are perfect. In fact, I wish they sold a more automatic version without so many possibilities for manual--it is just confusing. I am carrying the instruction book with me at all times.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Im on same boat as you are but $200 + for a grip is way too much. let me know if you hear anything.

This model does not come with a laser guide. I am not aware of a Rockwell laser guide for this model. I have not researched whether an after market laser guide is available.

No, it's manual via the use of ambidextrous thumbstuds. The opening is smooth and gets smoother over time.

The older version is great, loved it!! Battery life was phenomenal.. lasted months! I upgraded to the new version only because my old one broke. That said, the newer version is also great, extra buttons are very useful esp. if you use it for 3D modelling, but the battery life is not as good as the older version. Stock up on AA batteries, especially if you never turn the mouse off. Using the mouse daily, you may get a few weeks of battery life. Switching the mouse off at night will extend the life a bit tho.

Yes, I have one on each thumb. Best things I ever bought for my trigger thumbs.

A recent review says it is now the new version. Looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wa2bQAnIL._SL500_SS100_.jpg

Maya, I haven't used it for work yet which is where I expect to use my stylus. So far it has just been finger poking. Wish I had better input for you.

Mine old one lasted two years. Then had to wait a painful couple of months until Palm restocked them. My new one is now two months old - here's hoping. Centro reviews were not that great. Rumor mill has Palm coming out with a brand-new line - hopefully to include a PDA. I could not find the Z22 at the palm site today!
