TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE RED POWER BUTTON: the red power button flashes when you use the camera, most likely it also serves as a red-eye reduction flash similar to digital cameras. if you will notice digital cameras flash a red color for a split second or sometimes just before it will flash the xenon flash so that the reflection of the flash against the eyes cancels out. nokia is very good to implement this in the e66 and you will notice even the nokia 5220 has that red LED blinker. very well done, nokia!

It reminds me of the interviews I saw about the N-series designers that they wanted to create a common look on the handset, which included from what you saw on the device itself to the user interface.

Seems that they have brought this idea further into the E-series phones as well. I’m thinking about for especially the home key with have been a mark for the E-series phones.

Good point when it comes to the colour red. However if one should try to decrypt the meaning of an colour one would end up with several meanings depending on the context and environment.

I thought the red color was far more “screamy”, but as long as this is the only button with more significant marking on it, I don’t see it as some nuisance.
