Modeling a Sony PSP..

Hi guys,

I'm a noob at Maya.. just started a week ago as hobby.. ive familiarized myself with the interface and modeled some simple objects like a Monitor, Glass, and Umbrella..using Polygon tool..

right now im trying to model a Sony PSP.. and im meeting a dead end.. so far i only know how to

1) Extrude faces
2) Adjust its vertex

Im stuck at making anything else to what ive already done with the psp..at the moment, its not even the right size as ive no idea how to import the jpg into maya so that i can measure its correct size and dimension.. i hope to get any informative tips how to continue this work in progress..

i'd really love to learn 3d and i felt with a Sony PSP if i could model this baby perfectly..i could model cooler stuffs after this!

here's my current progress..

and here's my reference

To summarize, my problem is
a) Stuck at making curve left and right edges, (its a straight edge right now)
b) Is clueless on how to add on other objects like buttons or making additional bumps on a section without screwing the whole Face..

I've also attached my Maya file if any of you would like to see how I modeled it so far..and whether ive done it right
