maybe because it matches the black-blue default-theme you find everywhere in (desktop and background) and on (keyboard) the phone. ^^

Well I think that there was no need to color this slider "blue" at all, on the keyboard it makes sense of course to show the alternate functions.

I have to admit, I was a bit turned off by this sliver of ugly blue, and by the chrome frame. If I'm going to have an all-plastic phone like this (instead of the lovely metal N810), at least have the design sense to leave the fake chrome and weird accents out.

Am I the first and only to notice this? I haven't taken many photos since a 5 mp camera isn't fascinating anymore since I've used Nseries flagships with a similar camera part for two years.
these two photos are interesting to me. they show two distinct shadows. i'm wondering how they could have occurred. the flash of the n900 consists of two leds directly above the lens, thus no shadow could be thrown which would be visible to the lens.

I've done same! Seems much better so far.

How have you done that exactly? Can you remove this slider thing somehow to change the color?

I have a N97 (black with black bezel around the camera) and N900 and have always loved the clarity of my N97 camera. See photos taken with my N900 for comparison. The second N900 photo was with the ISO at 400 and white balance adjusted.

You only need to remove the complete back cover, and paint the edge of the slider that is pointing towards the lens opening when it is open. It is hard to cover all of the blue of the slider, but that would only be needed for aesthetic reasons.

disappointingly I have had a return of the hazy images, i was out the other night, decided to take a few snaps, 50% of them had a white haze in the top left of the photo, that is with the blue edge markerpenned black, is there anything else we can do to try and solve it our selves until a better fix comes out??

I have found that a careful cleaning of the lense (even when I can't see anything on it) seems to help the haze problem enormously.
