Personally, for the first 2 weeks that I had my Droid, I never even noticed the D-Pad. I knew it was there, but I just didn't pay attention. Recently though, I've found that when viewing in landscape, it's actually useful. I don't have to reach all the way up to the screen to scroll, etc. And when selecting a specific place in text (say correcting a typo in an email) it's easier to get exactly where you want using the D-Pad.

Anyone else use it?

I use it for the same reasons. It's just more accurate when trying to place the cursor and also when trying to select a specific link when there's a lot of close together links on the browser.

I use it maybe once a day, tops. It shouldn't even be there.

I use it on emulators and games, and for selecting a spot within a word or sentence while typing.
