New poll - features you didn't get

In this week's poll we'd like to know what are the features you wanted to have but are not available in N95. If you can't find your favorite feature(s) in the poll answers, share your thoughts and your list of features you didn't get by leaving a comment to this posting.

New poll - N95 features

This week's poll is about N95 features. Tell us what features you use regularly. You can select multiple features.

Nokia SportsTracker

When I was checking the Nokia Betalabs site today, I noticed that the list of application shows that Sports Tracker has received the last update on Nov. 22, 2007. However, if you follow the links to the download page, you'll notice that the latest version is actually v1.71, which was published on March 20, 2008. Visiting the Nokia Research Center Sports Tracker page gives you more information. There have actually been six updates since Nov. 20, 2007.

It was great to see that Sports Tracker, one of my favorite applications, has been updated recently. However, it would be nice if you could trust the version/update information on the applications list of the Nokia Betalabs site and not have to dig deeper to find our if a new version is available or not.

Two new polls

To speed things up, this week I decided to add two new polls. In the coming weeks, I'll be adding two or three new polls and I'll also always leave the previous weeks poll(s) visible. Once we are finished with all the polls, I'll post a summary of all your answers.

New poll - firmware version

A new poll has just been published. We'd like to know which firmware are you using in your N95-1.

New firmware - V21.0.016

New firmware for N95-1 was released on March 26. For more info on what's new in this version visit AllAboutSymbian.

For the first time I had problems after updating the phone. I did everything just like with the previous firmware updates. I took a backup of my data before updating and then restored the backup after the update. Something went wrong this time because after the update process I couldn't access my text messages. I could see the list of received text messages but I couldn't open them. Also some of the other settings were not restored.

It's time for your opinion

N95 is a great phone but it also has many things that could be improved. Nokia has already released specs for N96, the successor to N95. According to the specs, N96 is most likely going to receive it's share of critique.

Now it's time to see what N95 users really think of their phone. Starting today, there will be a new poll each week. We'll ask your opinion on N95, it's features and what you think is missing from your phone.

The first poll is about battery life - probably the most criticized feature of N95. Give us your opinion and we'll combine your answer into specs of what N95 or it's successor should be.

Nokia Maps 2.0 available

Nokia Maps 2.0 beta has been announced today at Mobile World Congress. This is a great update for Nokia Maps application. It's still beta and therefore not supported by Nokia Care. For more information read Ricky's preview on symbian-guru.com. To download, visit Nokia Beta Labs.

Nokia Maps is taking maps and navigation experiences to the next level and introducing Walk - pedestrian navigation, in addition to Drive - world class car navigation, multimedia city guides, satellite maps and other innovative features. With free maps of more than 150 countries, over 15 million points-of-interest, the world is in your pocket. Don't get lost or choose to get lost in the right places to explore, and let Nokia Maps show you the way.

Location Tagger

Nokia Betalabs has released another great beta application called Location Tagger. It allows you to automatically tag your location data to your pictures. GPS coordinates are saved to the EXIF header of the JPEG file. This application is intended to give you a sneak preview of features that are planned to be integrated into your phone. Looking forward to future firmware updates with these features implemented.
