Neat little app showing just how accurate the N95’s accelerometer is!

This has meant iPhone-like auto-rotation is coming soon. From the people that brought you RotateMe for the N80 - they’re releasing RotateMe 2 for the N95:

That should save a lot of needless wear and tear on the slider to get the phone to rotate..

Neither the N95 nor the N96 are as cool as the N92, and an accelerometer on that would have been ideal since the phone pretty much does everything else. The N92’s battery life is terrific. I watched all of Alfred Hitchock’s Rebecca in high resolution full screen mode, made about a dozen calls, used the music player during my commute, and browsed the internet using wi fi, and the battery indicator shows that power has only been reduced by one notch. I also have the N93i and N95 8GB and though they have some more useful features (GPS on N95, Optical zoom on the N93i’s camera), their short battery life means if I charge overnight, and use them for less than half of how long I use the N92, they quickly die, and alas, are thus totally useless. The Accelerometer does make these two latter devices more useful, but it is limited if the devices can only be powered for half a day of heavy usage at most. As there is little information on the N92 on the internet (since few people seem to have bought them), I do wonder if it has an accelerometer because if it did, that would be perfect.
