Yep :(

But I don't think I need to weigh up the pro's and con's of this firmware for when it released - This is definitely a NEEDED update ;)

HUmmm I need to weight up :(
The feature I use the most in n95 is tracking and it's very rare the moments I get full memory warning

Just to clear things up. Do you folks get to play with the firmware on a real n95 or just in a some kind of emulator/simulator environment.

How come it only functions for 30 minutes?

It is pretty clear to me that it is a emulator :) But fantastic news none-the-less...! And im pretty sure that its reliable info this, besides maybe some minor changes this is what we will get... :) and man, what an update...!

So it's an emulator. It seemed too good to be true. I doubt that all this functionality will ever find its way to the N95. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Guys just to clear this up. This firmware version is for developers to test the firmware with their apps. Yes you are able to install apps in the options menu, and even browse the phones memory through a special explorer window.

This firmware IS NOT EMULATED, its actually running off a real N95 with custom nokia software to link it up to the remote desktop application(RDA), which is why you need to make a reservation to use the phone. but not all the firmware funtions have been placed, since there is no need as this is only a test firmware for developers. this firmware is most likely to come but maybe as V21.0.015 or higher.

Im not 100% but if you check my flickr images which are at Flickr: Photos from felbutss ive actually opened about 13 apps and there is still 8mb of ram free which is amazing.

does it fix the hissing sound for mp3 play back?

Sounds excellent, although my carrier hasnt enabled the last update so I may have to wait ages to get my hands on this, although changing my product code seems a good option now.

the RAM increase sounds great, the out of memory notice I constantly get is very annoying, and very embarasing when I say the N95 is better than an Iphone and while showing mine off the RAM notice comes up
