New 6120 Firware V4.21 Now with User Data Preservation
Yup, I am back!
I have not posted much, but I might post something of a review of the New 6120 Software (Firmware- whatever you want to call it)... and the 1st BIG Thing that I immediately noticed is that it kept all my data intact!
Yup! 6120 has User Data Preservation just like N82... what does UDP does? well, as the name it self, it keeps all your data the way it is even if you update your phone's software... unlike before, if you make an update, you have to reinstall all your 3rd party applications and have to do a restore of your data from your backup (backup being either in your Nokia PC Suite or in your Memory card)...
1st Impressions in a quicky-> the menu is faster and there is a new item in the Contacts- press Options and scroll donwn you will see Synchronization...
and if you are wondring about the 6120 pics above, well it's NOT even a real 6120! that is a FAKE 6120!

S60 Touch Screen Officially Announced
Official Nokia Press Release
S60 smartphone software evolves to enrich the user experience
October 16, 2007
Expanding the platform with intuitive touch user interface, sensor technologies and complete web video experience
Symbian Smartphone Show, London, UK - As Internet is entering into the core of mobile experiences, Nokia continues to implement new innovations for S60 on Symbian OS(TM), the market leading smartphone software, to develop the best possible mobile experiences for people.
S60 will introduce new features that enhance the user experience and enable manufacturers, developers and operators to design new types of mobile devices, applications and services.
The touch user interface in S60 smartphone software offers licensees the opportunity to develop devices with a variety of input methods, whether it is a touch screen with a traditional keypad, touch screen with a qwerty keyboard or touch screen alone, supporting both finger or stylus optimized input, in addition to the range of access options that already exist today.
S60 touch user interface comes with support for tactile feedback, which means that there is a physical pulse and feedback when the user taps on the screen. This provides better awareness of the device's response improving the user experience.
Existing S60 3rd Edition applications will run on touch enabled devices unmodified. Tools will be made available for developers to further optimize the touch experience of their applications.
From motion and orientation to proximity and light, sensor technology is expanding to new areas and shaping the future for mobiles. S60 brings sensor support to the platform as a generic solution enabling support for a range of sensors in S60 devices. These technologies open up a new kinetic world to the user and offer completely new opportunities for application and game developers.
Also, the new UI Accelerator toolkit will allow device manufacturers to develop rapidly and easily impressive graphical effects and new types of interactions, further increasing the user appeal and excitement.
S60 will be the first mobile software platform to deliver the complete Web video experience as Flash Video will be integrated with the Web Browser for S60. This allows people to view on the go Flash-enabled Web sites and Flash Video, such as YouTube, as they would do on their desktops.
S60 and 3, the mobile media company that launched the first 3G network in the UK, will demonstrate at the Symbian Smartphone Show in London X-Series devices based on S60, and the vision both share of creating great Internet experiences on mobile devices.
"We are constantly on the lookout for new innovations to enhance X-Series, our offering for Internet on the mobile", said Ken Johnstone, Director of Products, Global 3G Handset & Application Group, at 3. "The user experience is central to everything that we do, and we believe that X-Series provides the best-in-class Internet experience on the mobile."
"S60 on Symbian OS offers a great platform to innovate with Internet services", said Matti Vänskä, Vice President, Mobile Software Sales and Marketing, Nokia. "We see experiences converging, and people demanding more and more of the functionalities that smartphones offer, both of which highlight the significance of ease of use. The focus of our strategy is to give people choice and simplicity - both key to delivering the best user experiences to add value to people's lives."
These technologies will be available for all S60 device manufacturers during 2008.

So there are probably hundreds of blogs and articles about N95 vs iPhone thingy. Which one is better and which one for you?
I decided that I will try to do it in as few words as possible.

... well, in terms of everything, the N95 is the MB below:
and in terms of functionality the iPhone is the one below...
Note: The pictures used are from the internet and I am not sure if it is copy righted or not. My apologies to the owner if they are...
