The Big Debate- Nokia Connects

This Sunday's Big Debate on Nokia Connects is "Home button or swipe gesture?" This is really a nice title for a fierce debate and my arguments on this debate will be this post. 

Beginning with Home button, We have been using Smartphones with a home button no matter what the OS is and we use it for minimizing our tasks. This home button has now become very unpopular and there must be something else for its purpose. There comes the Swipe gesture and everyone is aware its N9 to feature this cool swipe gesture. 






















The two popular smartphone in the N series are the Symbian powered N8 and the one of its kind Meego powered N9.  I have been using Symbian smartphone with the Home button for a long time and it has not inspired me much when compared to N9 which I had been using N9 since a week. Everyone needs something unique and new feature for faster and seamless multi-tasking and in the case of Home button, it is not much as expected as you need to use the Home button for minimizing or for switching between open Apps.

Meanwhile in case of Swipe gesture features N9, its rather different. The swipe gesture takes you to the next level of multi-tasking. You swipe down to close the app or swipe from the sides to minimize. Simple, isn't it?

Its much better to use the swipe gesture instead of using the native Home button. The presence of home button in the device makes it look outdated when compared with one that has a swipe gesture. You can have faster, smoother and better multi-tasking and thats why I've mentioned above that N9 is one of its kind.
