Nokia E66 subtle features

   

I had a chance to reflect on the E66 and realized that I had forgot to mention within the review a couple fun features of the device.  Most having to do with the accelerometer feature.  Unlike the E71 when wanting to put the phone into silent you simply just had to flip the phone over, same could be done for incoming calls.  When flipped over this would change the ringer profile to silent.  If a call was incoming or an alarm was sounding all one simply has to do with the E66 is flip it over.  The E66 also posses the ability to be tapped in order for a call to be silenced.   Some interesting and fun facts about the E66.
