Nokia N95 reviewed
It might be a few months yet before we see Nokia N95s start to circulate amongst the general populace, but far be it from that to stop Nokialist from putting a preproduction unit through its paces. Other than a niggle about the d-pad -- the reviewer would've preferred a joystick, a la E70 -- the hands-on was overwhelming positive, despite the fact that the super-ultra-early test model in their hands lacked some hardware (GPS, WiFi) promised for the production version. As one might expect, the software (S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, that is) is apparently the best thing since sliced bread, the dual slide is trick, the screen is gorgeous, and the 5 megapixel shooter is bananas. Sadly, about all the review has managed to do for us is make us want to lay our hands on this sucker a little more than we already did, but we're still in for a bit of a wait. Hang tight, folks.[Thanks, Phill]
Nokia serves up FP1 theme to S60 3rd Edition users
While upgrading that Nokia E62 to S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 might be nothing more than a foolish dream, the mothership is still doing what it can to help you keep your eyes from straying toward that N95 for just a little bit longer. Nokia has made the "Turquoise" theme (which will be used on all FP1 devices) available as a download for all phones running the elder 3rd Edition platform, and while it obviously won't give your phone any new functionality, it'll spruce up that look and feel so you can fool your friends and family into thinking that Nokia gave you some super-secret FP1 update package. Reviews have been mixed with some users reporting that the white portions of the theme's background introduce problems for readability in some apps, but hey -- that's the price we pay for living a lie.[Via All About Symbian]
