I've never had a 940 (which, I assume, is comparable to the 1000 or 2000 here in the States), but if the "d-pad" is important to you (and I can tell you I make use of it all the time) then go for it. The 3000 also has more hard buttons aside from the "d-pad", and chances are you'll find a use for them. Your existing ccf can be imported directly and converted to a pcf using PENG. There is no native version of SNL for the NG series, but once you get things set up it really isn't too difficult to work with. Be aware, however, that there have been screen issues with the 3000, some of the solutions to which involve opening the thing up, poking the circuit board with sewing needles, etc, etc. I have a total of 5 3000s, and have only had this happen with one of them (so far)
