More tweaks needed:

# Allow user to copy text from a web page
# Allow user to disable CSS
# Allow user to view the HTML source of a web page
# Parse microformats (not least hCard, to add contact details to the address book and dial phone numbers; hCalendar, to add events to the calendar; and Geo, to find places on maps) – see http://microformats.org/wiki/
# Geo-tag (using EXIF) iamges, when the GPS is on
# Allow raw, or at least much higher-resolution, images to be saved.
# Allow screen-timeout to be set within profiles (so I can have a “connected to power supply” profile, for in-car use)

A new fimrware is definately in the works. Nokia still has to add Ngage support on the handset so its only a matter of time. Demand paging, more free ram, search intergration etc seem to have been integrated too. Can’t wait for it!

One more thing which needs to be fixed is the lag when you press the left or right keys to switch between text-messages. It feels like it’s going back into the inbox and only then showing the next text-message.. In Nokia’s Conversation app, this has been fixed already, so it’s possible =)

It has been months since we hope for an update for N95.
While Nokia marketed its N95 8Go, he(it) laughs at owners of the N95!
Thank you Nokia!!!
Those who bought N95 still exist and they are many!

N95 has got amazing graphics and sound. The only thing prohibitive is the keys.. In landscape mode it’s urgent that we may use the multimedia keys !!!! Please without it, it’s impossible to play!!

Delian, you can download the Nokia 810 software for a kludgy solution to the car kit issue. It’s a little annoying to have to keep it running all the time, but it does synchronize an N95 contact list to a car kit.

I predict there will be one more firmware upgrade to the N95, and it will be to add N-Gage support. Whether it fixes the keypress bug, adds demand paging, or speeds up the camera remains to be seen.

Thanks Chris!

Bob, I sure hope the N95 doesn’t meet that fate! I’ve got an old 6681 and even its seen quite a few upgrades, so i’m hopeful!

Here’s a prediction.

There will be NO FURTHER UPDATES for the old N95. Look how Nokia abandoned the N93 once the i version came out. What a travesty and it’s sent me into the arms of Sony. I spend $800 on an N93 and I got only one FW upgrade and then it’s, sorry, but an N93i.

@ Al, I’m having the same problem with the TV-out. If you find any solutions, please be sure post them. Thanks.

N95 needs to be upgraded to enable full Bluetooth car kits functionality (calls list trnasfer addredd book trasfer). The first idea was that it is limitation of Symbia but SE solved that problem so it is Nokia that has to do the same to its Symbian phones

I want to be able to REMAP or DISABLE buttons temporarily when playing games! The N95 has the power to play graphic-intensive action games, but the button layout prohibits it–it’s far too easy to press nearby buttons and launch e.g. the multimedia menu.

So what I really want is for Nokia to add the option to temporarily disable or remap non-necessary buttons when a game is active. With proper warnings and restrictions, I think it could be implemented in way that doesn’t compromise normal phone functionality while finally letting N95 owners play games without interruption.

Also, YES to the slow camera suggestion! The camera is so slow that I consider it only about half-functional. I can’t count the number of times I’ve missed a shot because of the slow start-up and slow processing between shots. It’s unacceptable.

Thanks for making this list, Vaibhav.

Have you tried switching to the landscape mode? Try sliding the phone the ‘other’ way.

Mine has a bug with the TV-out.

It doesn’t connect to widescreen TVs correctly. Instead of stretching the picture to fill the screen, it shrinks it!

Oh I forgot to mention that Jamal. Thanks for pointing it out.

The problem with 12.0.014 firmware is that we ‘might’ loose warranty because changing the product code.
