The Optical Navi key - Do you actually have to touch it?

The video suggested that swiping over the top of it makes it work.
Rafe
Yes I'm fairly sure you have to touch it. Not had hands off an E72 though so no guarantees!

I think that Opti Navi key itīs equal of one on Samsung phones, like Innov8... very clever use of that:icon14:

I'm happy because through this podcast I heard very good impressions of the near coming flagship cameraphone : the N86 8MP that I pre-ordered few weeks ago...

I purchased 3 years map subscription for my n95 and have moved on to a 5800. I have called Nokia 10 times and emailed multiple times and they cannot get my licensed transferred. This is a big prolem with Nokia if they are pushing a subscription model.
