It implement exactly the same method as Mike mentioned. I hold the volume button for next track. Even it is not a music phone, I could control its playback easily without taking it out of pocket. But I am really jealous of the S60 platform, so I'm planning for an Nokia S60 phone. I have been using the Sony Ericsson K550i. It implement exactly the same method as Mike mentioned.

I would love to have it like this... Hold down the up volume key 2 seconds for next track, the down for previous track. Hold down the gallery button 2 seconds to play/pause. it already looks like a play button. have these keys only active when the music player is active. i agree no moving parts. this is why we love the n82!

Rita also pointed out a good alternative, but I haven't tried it to see how practical it is. Yes, exactly what I mean, having Navi-wheel standard on all future devices.

I actually forgot about that. And that could be even better than side keys as you can actually what keys do what without turning the phone. Amir, you mean sorta like navi, wheel? Ofcourse that would be great. Rita, Good one. I actually forgot about that. And that could be even better than side keys as you can actually what keys do what without turning the phone.

Thu, 22 May 2008 01:56:08 +0000 http://thenokiaguide.com/?p=99#comment-198 A candy bar phone that only has a play/pause button on the side, and has a touch sensitive d-pad, so that with one flick to either direction it goes to a next track (forward or backward), or with continuous motion on the touch-sensitive d-pad, it would FF or RW. The stop button can be sacrificed, because you can get that with pausing, and pressing RW backwards once. If something like this happens, it's also essential to have a physical keypad lock. These are suggestions and not refined, so if there are flaws please point out.
