LONG ANSWER:
i have an old iRiver iFP-795 and i can personally say, the joystick was alright to use once you got used to it. But one day, i injured my right arm and i couldn't use my right hand and fingers at all. This in the end made me use my left hand and finger and OH MY GOD!!!...it was horrible!!! i couldn't navigate the player properly at all. All i could do was play/pause, A-B repeat and change the mode of the player. I had to endure this for 4 weeks while my am was healing and although I did start to get used to left-hand navigating, the coordination was still off as pushing down into the player was always difficult and most of the time caused either a volume change or song change instead.

SHORT ANSWER: The T50/60 would be great replacement for the iFP-700 and 800 series, but the joystick is a major drawback which is a sensitive/delicate navigation tool.
