Yes, but that's just enough to make it no longer fit in a jacket pocket.

It shouldn't be too bad. I'll let you know when it arrives next week.
However, since I can get by with the keyboard on the Zaurus 5500, I
don't expect the significantly larger keyboard on the 860 to cause
problems.

Zaurus with a CF bluetooth card. This is exactly why I want the Zaurus.
I considered getting an iPAQ, which has the advantage of built-in
bluetooth. But you're then stuck with the screen keyboard, which is
considerably slower than a physical keyboard (as proved by the Zaurus).
