I loved my N93, sure it was big and bulky, but nothing beats that cool twisting screen. I remember I could put it in “laptop mode” and it would be perfect to watch videos or view pictures. You could place it just about anywhere and it would stay exactly how you left it. I miss that with sliders and candy bar phones. If you’ve tried this with the N95 you’d know it’s a hit and miss situation: either it doesn’t stand on its side or it falls at the slightest movement.
Now I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if they could somehow integrate a pull-out stand in upcoming candy bar and sliders? To give you an idea what I mean, the idea is similar to what’s used in one of those picture frames. You know that little stand-thingy that keeps the picture frame upright? The handy part is that when you don’t need the stand it would fold flat. Well, that could be integrated into the battery cover and you could pull it out for instant media viewing. This might ruin the overall look a bit, but it sure would be convenient. They already have external stands like this one that Ricky talked about. (It sure does look cool), but nothing beats an integrated solution. What do you guys think? Any other alternatives?
Propping up your N95
So what would improve your N95? What about making it more like the N93. Blue13x at The Nokia Guide reckon that integrating a stand (rather like the bit that sticks out at the back of a picture frame), would make watching videos on your N95 handset much…
Nokia’s DT-22 Tripod works well for me when watching videos.
My Krusell swivel clip acts just like the back of that picture frame… the N95 sits just right video watching
Jote,
what Krussel Case are you using?
beaker,
Haven’tthought about but the DT-22 is a pretty good idea.
Looks like my Krusell case has been discontinued, but the new one ( follow the link on this page http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/13028.htm ) would probably work just as well. The fat swivel clip in the back is the part that acts as a “stand”
