Auto Rotation for N95 8 GB
Auto rotation for the nokia N95 8GB or also called N95-2 is included in the latest version of firmware, which is version 20.0.016. At the default, this option was not turned on. To turn it on, here is a video from the Nokia Blog which is containing how to turn Auto rotation on Youtube.
Compare with N82 Rotation, the Nokia N95 8GB rotates even on the main active display. The Nokia N82 does not rotate on the active display. I also noticed that the N95 8GB is more responsive. In my opinion, the screen rotation is much more useful on the Nokia N95 8GB because of the bigger screen.
