Compass calibration on the Nokia N97 is a lot faster now. When I first got the Nokia N97, I complained about how long it takes the Nokia N97 to calibrate the compass.

A nice feature on the Nokia N97 is the compass and the only way to really tell you about it is by showing you video of it in action. I like the addition of this sensor because I don’t have to walk to find out which direction I’m heading.
