Nokia N86 8MP’s Kickstand Is Active

By The Guru on May 1, 2009

While exploring the Nokia N86 8MP hosted on Forum Nokia’s RDA recently, I found something rather cool, buried away in the settings menus. Apparently, the kickstand on the Nokia N86 8MP is actively connected to the phone, unlike the N96′s, which was simply a piece of plastic. The N86 8MP’s kickstand is able to launch any application on the phone whenever you pop it out, which is definitely a cool little feature.

As you can see in these screenshots, you can set this kickstand to launch any number of handy applications, such as the video player, photo browser, or messaging. This could be awesome if you have it set to open the video player quickly, or for you guys in the U.K., the BBC iPlayer that’s sure to be available. I would likely have mine set to open Mobbler, so that I could quickly start streaming music when I flip that kickstand open.

What application would you set your kickstand to, if you had the Nokia N86 8MP?
