Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I still remember the exciting time we had guessing the easter egg in the n800.

So will the rx-51 have an easter egg? If yes what will it be?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

What was the easter egg on the n800? o.o

FM receiver.

Laser guided taser hidden inside.

Multifunctional taken to the new level.

4.3" screen once you peel the outer layers:cool:

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Ah, I thought easter egg as in software. Didn't know Nokia did hardware easter eggs. :D

If you slide out the keyboard and twist it firmly, a set of additional keys will magically appear so you can write in languages other than english. (Most languages need more characters=keys.)

Also, a D-pad plus a menu-key will appear to the left of the screen.

Photosensitive screen bezel, to scroll by sliding on the edge?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

You can switch to a capacitive multi-touch screen by a single @ gesture.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Easter egg is a whole complete clone of the device as we imagine it, in itself. It's dual core, with two screens (=dual view + dual touch!), two keyboards (one english, one finnish), two wi-fi devices to make it an ad-hoc wifi AP, two GPS for precise readings and two cameras for stereopsy! Two D-pads will also allow for better PS2 emulator gaming experience.

i hope its touchscreen is better than n810
am i the only one who notice that when press somewhere on screen with stylus
it feels like there is something liquid under screen.
i mean the area you press with stylus fades to blue.
you know which of my devices had same problem
ericsson r380

it has been years, r380 is a veryy old phone
but same issue on n810
that's kinda embrassing

sorry for my english
i hope i could explain what i wanted to mean

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

LCD = *LIQUID* Crystal Display.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

pfff of course i know that
but it doesnt have to make user feel that.
it had to feel strong and stable
also
i got a nokia 500 navigation which has a touch screen
that doesnt happen at that device

what i think is that nokia used cheap touch screens these devices

Kitchensink. Not leaking.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

how about a good gps signal for a change? Anybody tried the antenae hack they did on the n97 on the n810 yet?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

How hard are you pushing, anyway? You really only need to tap the screen. Pushing harder doesn't make it respond faster.:)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

huh? i dont think that's something about how hard i push
just check out this video:

Easter egg: cell phone functionality :B

...Yes, easter was a whole lot of months ago.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

On the back side of the screen.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

what about accelerometer?
will n900 have an accerometer?

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=307809 : Yes.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

a small modell helicopter (like the walkera 4#3b) comes out if you press all four buttons of the dpad, the | and esc buttons together...

or you can use the n900 as a remote control for such a modell helicopter ;-)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Well, that will be hard since there is no d-pad :)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

proper working GPS. my guess. (that hasn't been announced, has it?)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

compass sensor??
there are compass sensors in n97 and 6210 navigator

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

@ Bundyo
that was a joke, because as you correctly have said: there aren't dpad, | button and esc button^^

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Faster GPS would be nice. But for me a faster UI would be a huge easter egg!

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

(to my endless grief) apparently no compass sensor. Unless they see some weird sense in showing code and drivers for accelerometers and the location framework and completely omit the compass the process. There is always hope, but it's a slim chance at best at the moment.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I could never figure out why is a digital compass on a GPS enabled phone such a big deal?!

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Some people just cannot orientate map without this newfangled thingy ;)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

GPS gives you location. Accelerometers give you vertical orientation. However, without compass you have no *horizontal* orientation unless you are moving (e.g. in a car). Why is that big deal ? For two reasons. One, no directions (museum is left here, straight ahead is the palace, right is the park...), you just have a map which you need to figure out. Second, perhaps even more importantly, it is needed for augmented reality applications. Imagine pointing the device at a building and seeing the details about it. Or actually seeing the path you need to take like you had X-ray vision. Or automatic tagging of image contents. Or (personal favorite) pointing at the night sky and seeing constellations, celestial objects with details.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

because if you walk slowly most gps sensors don't get the direction in which you are going... no problem in car. but walking, the navigation experience with a compass is really better...

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

The only use that it might have is that it gives you a sense of direction when you're not moving. In other cases you heavily rely on GPS, if compass has a use in these cases at all.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

Compass would be really good, but is also a known battery-sucker (well, at least the last time I tried a digital compass device, when Garmin released the original eTrex series).

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I might have not been clear enough (nisam bio dovoljno jasan :) ). You need it for stuff like this

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I worked with electronic compasses a about two years ago. At that point they were really ***** to use. You had to calibrate it for the spot you were using it if you wanted good results, and even still it might not work properly. I don't know if the situation has improved since then, but I believe that the reason for the bad performance (disturbances in magnetic fields) is still there. So I don't think it's such a big deal even if a compass isn't included.

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 

I reasearch computer vision, and one of the applications of what I've been working with is localization (including orientation) for AR. We also have techniques to merge all this data from GPS, accelerometers, compass, and even bluetooth, wifi and cell antenna readings.

I'm not sure these sensors are good enough to localize the device with precision for some applications. But image processing does it! We only need to make the programs. Maybe I should wish the easter egg is an OpenCV port to make it easier! :)

A laser range finder might be good too.
