Now Screen Rotation Goes Native on N95 8GB

I wrote about RotateMe software to make N95 rotate screen like iPhone does. And there are bunch of other N95 software utilizing the build-in motion sensor. Now finally, Nokia makes a official usage of the motion sensor. A new firmware (v20.0.016) is available for the Nokia N95 8GB (sorry folks, only the European N95-2 is supported for now) that comes with built-in support for the automatic screen rotation feature that the iPhone made so popular (sorry, I had to get that in there). I still don’t understand though why Nokia waited this long to have this cool feature released so that let iPhone steals all the thunders when they twist the phones.

You can enable and disable the screen rotation feature at will, so there’s basically no reason not to download and install this latest firmware for your Nokia N95 8GB. That is, unless you’re rocking the N95 8GB NAM (N95-4), in which case, you’ll need to wait it out a bit longer. Go download the new firmware here.
