Volume for Zoom

[cre8web]

I just discovered by accident that the volume control also works as a zoom function! how handy is that!
I have said before I'm not a techy, so I thought I'd mention it to any other low IQ users :)

Yea, I love this feature. Unfortunately when the keyboard is out, I can't quite reach the rocker switch. Otherwise, this is a great feature.

It works very well as a zoom, super smooth and accurate, but I found out because I needed to use the volume while browsing a page...

So how do I change the volume is the question (without tabbing out of the browser)

press in the area where the signal and battery indicator are, then slide the vol with your thumb, well thats what I do

I personally hate this feature.. I wish it can stay only for volume! :(

Because it's really annoying when you're trying to watch something on full view and want to lower/higher the volume.. you have to pause the video, go out of full screen mode, tap on the clock area, then higher/lower the volume, go back to full screen, and finally resume the video.. Takes a looong time just for a simple lower/higher the volume!

We already have 2 ways to zoom in (double tap and the swirl motion zoom) why would we need more than that??

Thats what I was thinking, though I find this 3rd way to be the easiest one for me so its a love/hate relationship.

Really annoyed about it. Especially when you are watching youtube video in fullscreen. I actually use the swirl zoom most of the time next to the double tap. In the 4 weeks i have owned N900 i have used the volume keys for zooming 2-3 times.

Drives me nuts. I use iplayer a lot and want ot change the volume not zoom in. How many methods do zoom in do you need? It seems crazy to me to provide 3 methods to zoom and none to change volume when you're surfing the web. Webpages have sounds too.

Yep, I'd be more than happy if I could disable the zooming function within the browser app.

Zooming with those keys inside photos-app is great though.

Maybe an option to select which apps the key zoom works for might be an idea for one of you smart people out there, I guess as this post shows, were all different, hell some people like even toffee ice cream!!
