Firmware v12.0.013 available for Nokia's N95
While the rest of us sit and wait on a potential 8GB iteration, current N95 owners now have a bit more utility to look forward to care of a new firmware update. Version 12.0.013, which looks to only be available on phones with Euro product codes (0534841 and 0534844) at the moment, provides a few subtle changes that essentially get lost in the addition of Assisted GPS and the amount of RAM available. Interestingly, the full rundown of changes seems to be still rolling out, so be sure and visit the read link for the growing list and do tell if you notice alterations on your own.
Nokia's 6110 quad-band HSDPA GPS navigator
It's not just raining N and E-series devices today in Espoo Barcelona. Nokia also unveiled their Nokia 6110 navigator, their second device of the day -- after the E90 -- to flaunt both GPS and HSDPA data. The S60-based 6110 combines GPS and AGPS (assisted GPS) with quad-band GSM/EDGE and UMTS 2100 for up to 3.6Mbps of hot HSDPA data. This beast brings a 2.2-inch QVGA display throwin' 16 million colors, a 2 megapixel camera with sliding lens cover and flash, and MicroSD expansion to augment the onboard 40MB. The handset touts a 3.5-hour (GSM) and 2.5-hours (3G) talk-time or up to 11 days (GSM and 3G) of standby. The 6110 is expected to ship in Q2 for an estimated pre-tax, pre-carrier-subsidy price of €450/$583. A few more pics after the break.
Hackers enable GPS on HTC Trinity
It seems like nowadays, a hacker's work is never done and with a little time and know-how, anything is possible. Does everyone remember when the HTC Trinity first appeared on our radar? It had all the makings of a great one less being shipped with the GPS receiver in a dormant state. Lucky for us all it took was a few well-skilled hackers and some determination to come up with how to enable it. Looking at the instructions, seems like a pretty simple procedure. If anyone is brave enough to try it, drop us a line and let us know the outcome. [Thanks, Chymmylt]
