I played with a 6290 during my 3 hours at Nokia (NYSE: NOK) USA. Something that immediately stood out was the power button.
Here is a crop from Nokia’s press image:
That’s right. The "end" key is the power button.
Is this the start of a new trend at Nokia?
I’m indifferent. Initially I over reacted and felt alienated … but after a few minutes I got used to it.
Thoughts?
If you’re interested in the 6290 then be sure to check out Rafe’s preview.
The Nokia 6101/Nokia 6102 is the same way.
Those aren’t S60 devices however.
Personally i don’t like it… This button was a shortcut for changing profiles… and now…
It’s still a shortcut for changing profiles.
Um, how do you quickly end a data connection that has broken?
