Which models have accelerometers/

Discussion for Nokia Step Counter

29-01-2009 13:09

Dear Nokia Beta,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I couldn't really find an appropriate contact channel, and this seemed at least a relevant topic.

I work for Cultural Oil, a reality game maker, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We are currently working on a project that involves an auditive game around running. We were initially looking to develop this for the iPhone 3G, but I'm now looking at Nokia models, as Symbian is found on a lot of different models. My question is this:

Is there a list of models that have an accelerometer? For instance, do all S60 phones have them? These phones would have to be able to track someone's speed, and that data should be usable via an SDK. And the question that follows it, of course: Can you develop an application that covers all these phones?

Again, I hope this is the right forum for this, if not, please let me know. Also, if more information is needed, I'd be glad to supply it.

@Veliremus
Welcome to the symbian world! Hope to see some great apps from you guys in the future.
Though for such queries and help in development, http://www.forum.nokia.com/ would be a better place. Those are forums for the developers and the hardware related technical issues :)

Okay, thank you :). I'll check those forums out.

All the compatible phones here have an accelerometer and my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has it too. How can such a great phone not have it?

Phones those which have screen rotations, works great.

Like My N85, 5800 Xpress

The E66 has an accelerometer, but if I have understood right, its accelerometer differs from that of all the others. SportsTracker works great, but neither the separate StepCounter programme nor the step count in SportsTracker works. :-(
