</table><p>The orientation of a Symbian device is illustrated with six basic
orientations as shown in the following figure. In display up and display down
orientation the gravitation is along the y-axis. In phone left side up and
phone right side up orientation the gravitation is along the x-axis. In display
upwards and display downwards orientation the gravitation is along the z-axis.<fig id="GUID-C3EAA1EC-EADE-4F8E-86DC-D9EB6DA3B874">
