I don't know how much interest would this stir, but I noticed that the "Laser precision" theme in K850i uses the accelerometer.
It's easy to verify: apply this theme and exit to the stand-by screen. Keep your phone vertically (like you do when you take a portrait picture). Notice how the squares that "peel off" and fall go down, towards the bottom of the screen. Now rotate your phone, like when you take a landscape picture. Notice how the squares keep falling down, but now this means they fall towards the left side of the screen. Even more, turn your phone completely upside down. Still, the squares follow the gravity law and always go towards the ground.

I guess this is why the theme can't be completely ported to other flash theme supporting phones - they lack the accelerometer.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.

@dentoters07: I did my homework and performed a search related to the subject before starting the thread. I didn't find anything, so there you have it.
Perhaps a Google search would have revealed more, but here on Esato nobody mentioned this.
A warm "you're welcome" to those who found this information useful and bothered to say "thanks".

Thanks Alfaro (I didn't use Crystal until now, so I didn't know).
Thanks to mariozlp too, I wasn't aware that there are even more flash themes using the accelerometer since I don't own a W910.

I see now that my "discovery" isn't much of a discovery after all, but a known fact as dentoters07 said. Yet not all the users noticed, so this topic might do some good after all, informing others.

Download the W910i themes onto your K850i and they work too. Ecllipse, and Soundscape.

On my Vodafone W910i I have a theme that came on it called Hidden Peak. I don't think a lot of people will realise it uses the accelerometer but it certainly does!
