Sorry, but afaik, it's just a fancy directional UI gizmo that's tied to the GPS. I'd love to be wrong, but... I've been usig it and it doesn't work like a compass.

@timsamoff: maybe the easter egg is the digital compass driver that's only installed in the final release firmware ;D

ps: dang, it shows 11-panes in the task selection screen! is there any (hard coded) limit?

I've seen somewhere over 12 panes and you could actually scroll vertically with the finger!

It's actually a way to orient "North" and tilt the maps to give you a 3D view. That grid thing in the middle tilts the map, and you use your finger to drag the N around to wherever you want North to be. No compass!

Let's see if I can put his blog pics here:



In the next pics, he's hit the button in the middle and tilted the map into 3D mode:

The lack of digital compass is really a shame, it's like the only missing feature of otherwise perfect phone.

Well, I also think that its lack of colour fax sending/receiving is quite disappointing.

But I was being serious

Magnetometer can really help if you are navigating on foot.
