Yeah I noticed that too, very irritating! Especially while browsing, 
after a few secs it'll sleep and when you want to scroll with the scroll 
wheel or use back/forth button you first have to move the mouse :-(
And this mouse really sucks the batteries empty in a few months...

I have used this mouse for a while for gaming, it was ok, but not 
optimal, in other words, the optical sensor works ok, but it doesn't 
feel 'right', especially with my small hands, that's why I took my old 
Logitech wireless scroll mouse out of the cupboard and have it now 
laying around on my desk when I'm gonna game on my B&W.
I wish I had another regular intellimouse for my B&W, like I have on my PC.
My bro also likes my regular intellimouse and wants to buy a similar 
mouse, the M$ Intellimouse Wireless Optical Blue, but this one doesn't 
have the two extra buttons (there also seems to be a black Special 
Edition BTW), so he hasn't decided yet which one he wants to buy.
