For fellow my fellow n93 owners out there:

In the commercial for the N93, when Gary Oldman is taping himself towards the end, the screen is clearly facing him. However everytime I try to do this, it activates the secondary camera instead. Is there an option to change this somewhere that I'm just not seeing? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm using ver 11.xxx of the firmware.

Thanks!
 
Thats a feature that Im really bother that doesnt work.. Specially the fact that the main cam is the one with a flash. Hoping to get around this by using landscape mode and try to turn-on the flash but no luck..

Uhm anyway the v20. fixed this issue?
 
I heard this feature is not added in v20, no. But when Nokia finally re-enables NSU updates for the N93, they probably will with a new update, as the v20 is said to have way too many weird bugs and instability, so maybe in that new possible v21 we'll have that self-filming feature done =)
 
Yeah after studying it for a bit I realized when you face the screen towards you, it goes into the same position as the landscape mode, just rotated 90 degrees. So the OS thinks its in landscape mode. I guess all the software cues are based on the rotation of the screen and not the rotation of the "barrel" part...

damn y'all are some vain mofo's! Lol j/k, i noticed the same thing... I don't think that the n90 had this problem, but i could be wrong.
