Yeah, all this stuff is configurable. The defaults weren't what I liked
either. Too long on the insert delay - I tightened that up almost immediately.

You can use gestures to backspace & edit - don't need a soft keyboard.
This, in fact, is one of the main reasons I needed RitePen, the U810
doesn't have an active digitizer and therefore doesn't do gestures natively.
