most of us have - and without any problems. because mobile device (=devices made to be used on the move) are non-touchscreen and their buttons do have "built-in" tactile feedback. ;)

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 
any chance the easter-egg will be a Magnetometer? some people say it has one, some say it doesnt..and from all the videos online, nobody really showed the GPS..so im wondering..if it doesnt have it, i will be a bit dissapointed...coz i really want to get the n900..and i guess it cant be added via FW, right?

Who's saying it has one?

From what I've seen of the GPS, it doesn't have a super-secret compass display, so that's not why people aren't showing it. Just that Ovi Maps is boring to all these long-term Nokia bloggers who've seen it before on S60.

Of course, I may have missed it.

well, one reviewer who was testing the device on one czech mobile site (and wrote 3 articles about it), when i asked him wheter it has an accelerometer and a magnetometer, told me this:

Polohové čidlo a elektromagnetický kompas má.
In English:
Yes, it has a position sensor and an electromagnetic compass.

So, that's why i ask...

Re: Easter egg in the RX-51?
 
There is a fair amount of reviewers who can't tell the exact delineation between accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses and GPS. The unit most likely WILL show a heading (even the N810 does that), but that does not automatically imply the presence of a compass (the heading can be GPS/inertial based). Adding to the confusion is that many high-end devices do have compasses so people say 'the N97 has it, iPhone 3GS has it, then this one has to have it too, right ?'

just point the camera at the sun and it'll compute based on the local time and gps position where north is ;)

@jack6428: have you got an url.. so we get a better idea what the reviewer is like. rather than having people making blind assumptions about him..

This is a video with Nokia's nordic product chief, Linus Brohult - he clearly says, in the end, that the N900 has a digital compass.
