Taking photos with d-pad on N86

2 replies · 4,295 views · Started 09 February 2010

I kind of miss the option to also take pictures with the d-pad on the N86. It would be nice if this option was integrated in a future firmware update. Does anyone know where new ideas like this can be reviewed by Nokia?

D-Pad is used for options , like you know . So a new option could be added "Take Picture" as the top item . This might be a little confusing . A dedicated button is more clear to a regular user .
On my Phone I changed the Homescreen/Desk in settings from Active Standby to off . Leaves 5 shortcuts from the D-Pad to be set by the user .
This makes blind and fast access to Camera possible :
Take Phone from pocket , unlock , press D-Pad down (my setting) and instanly the Camera opens up .

Or, leaving things as they are:
take phone from pocket, open lens cover and it is all there ready to take a shot!! 😊
