On using Mighty Mouse correctly

While I have not yet had the pleasure of trying out Apple's new Mighty Mouse (and I won't buy one until its tail has been snipped), a number of lucky souls have. It seems that a few of you are having trouble with the mouse, stating that it just isn't working like it should. Maury McCown at RAILhead Design thinks he has the answer: You're holding it incorrectly.

Maury notes that he gets proper response from the mouse if he's sure to wrap his fingers all the way around the front, ensuring that he's in contact with those infamous "touch sensitive areas" (they're not buttons, right, Steve?). He notes that most people don't hold a mouse like this, and I think he's right. Glancing at my own hand as I use my Microsoft multi-button mouse, I am, in fact, holding it as depicted in the "Wrong" photo above.

If you've gotten one of these mice, what has your experience been? Let us know.
