It works on my Vairo...

If you blow IE up to full screen, the volume buttons allow you to scroll up and down the screen

but isnt that what the d-pad is for?Strangley enough I keep for getting about that .....

That been said I did find ( before I knew about this function ) that my thumb wanted to go up and down when surfing just like when I use a mouse.... so I guess you have the choice now - ergonomically this seems a little easier to use.

I'm a fan of the d-pad especially when browsing in landscape (which is most of the time). It just seems natural to use your right thumb to scroll up and down. I rember someone posted on HoFo (i think) that it was un-natural to have the keyboard slide from the left and not the right. But now having the device in hand I think it would be much more awkward having it the other way.
