The Nokia X6 is the company’s first capacitive touchscreen smartphone, and if there’s one thing that Nokia’s critics mention constantly, it’s the lack of capacitive touchscreens.

While other accelerometer applications only support the Nokia N95 and N82, Keynetik is looking ahead, with new versions of its Rock-N-Scroll and Hi-N-Bye accelerometer applications designed specifically for S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 devices, such as the Nokia N85, N96, and N79.

KEYnetik has officially released the first beta of their Rock’n’Scroll application for the Nokia N95′s accelerometer. Rock’n’Scroll uses the handset’s accelerometer to allow the user to navigate through the phone’s menu by flicking in the desired direction.
