Looks like Nokia has PC Suite version 6.85.11.1 just about ready for official release. And it has been nicely improved from the previous version.
The first thing you notice when you launch Nokia PC Suite 6.85 is the new sidebar.
The upper part of the sidebar allows you to Drag&Drop any file from your PC to your Nokia phone. Below D&D utility is message preview window, that shows the latest incoming messages. It can be minimized to a small bar. And finally, there’s a new “Settings” option in menu. Here you can set audio&video conversion parameters, and, best of all, it allows you to specify default location paths for Data, Music, Video and Application files on your Nokia handset .

Nokia Beta Labs has released an interesting application, Device Status, which lets you access a variety of information and which can be helpful in solving support issues. There is an application for S60 devices which collects information about your phone and a companion PC application which allows you to more easily view the information about your phone as well as collecting information about your PC.The usual caveats about trying beta/ preview software apply. However Device statusis reported as being technically mature. Device status provides a broad range of information about the phone it is running on including firmware version, device type/name, IMEI, memory usage and profiles, network information, installed applications, settings information and more.The information provided by Device status may be of limited interest in one sense, but may be useful when attempting to solve support issues as it provides a full profile on how a device is set up and how it is operation. As devices become more complex simply knowing the model number is not always enough to solve support issues. For example some problems have been known to occur only on a specific network operator and firmware version combinations, another example might be a problem that occurs only when two particular applications are installed together.Device status can act as a one stop shop as it provide the majority of relevant information that will be typically needed when testing early version new software on a device or tracking down the cause of a support issue. The ability to easily export this information from Device status is particularly welcome in this regard and might be as useful for third party developer as it will be for Nokia. DOWNLOAD

The new firmware for Nokia N95 is available now. This one is called version 12.0.013, and will introduce the long awaited A-GPS-support among other things and bugfixes.
Stay tuned!
Changes:

• The phone is faster


• Loading the gallery seems to be quicker


• A-GPS support


• Camera sharpness bug fixed


• Quicker at receiving GPS signals and locking


• Changes in web browser - one of them is that you now have to hold OK-button to get the menu to pop up
  This is rather irritating - some times the keypad doesn’t respond! Especially when in web browser and MSN
  
• When editing a form and then repressing it, the cursor will start at the beginning of the text and not at the end as before. Quite annoying, I think…


• YouTube and streaming videos in general is still not working on my phone


• Zoom in gallery is now available for up to 800% - even on 5 megapixel pictures


• When light is out in the screen, the gallery button blinks.
  Probably many more things, will update later again…

Here you will find common tips and tricks for your N95 device..

• If you dont long-press the menu key - another way to see if you have apps running in the background is to view the menu in icon mode. Usually there's a small "C" on the upper right of each icon, or on the folder where it's located, indicating that an app is currently running there. This is very useful coz it enables you to gain more memory.
• Ever had a time when you forgot to lock your keys after closing the slider? The n95 lets you input a specific time when you want the keys locked. Just to menu/tools/setting/general/security/phone and sim/.... then choose user-defined in the 'phone autolock period', then just put in how many minutes you want.
• Unlike the 6280 and E65, the N95 does not hang up the call when you close the slide. So after the dialing the number you're calling - you can close the slide and have a more compact phone to hold.
• Increase your RAM by deleting the "Welcome" application in your phone. Delete also other apps that you're not using - like the 'Search" app.
• Want to "hide" some pictures so that it doesn't show up in your Gallery? You can move the photos to another folder in your phone. Like the "my videos" folder. These photos can still be seen and viewed by a 3rd party photo viewer or a file manager - but at least, now when you open the gallery - they wont show up.
• If you have a lot of videos (mp4, 3gp, etc) on your phone, it's always better to arrange them in subfolders. Dont keep more than 130 clips in one folder, if over that, just make another subfolder then put another 130 clips there, and so on and on. If having more than 130 clips - it slows down the phone to unbearable speeds when previewing them in the gallery.
• Once every few weeks, especially if you add and delete photos in your gallery, you should delete the "_pAlbtn" subfolder in your "Images" folder. (Use a file xplorer to view and delete this, or use your PC). This would refresh the entire gallery - and would ensure that your thumbnails are updated. If you delete this folder and dont view the images - it will temporarily give you more space in your memory card.
• Set your call LOG to 10 days or less - this will help in speeding up your phone.
• When connected to a TV or Widescreen monitor, and you're viewing smartmovie movies, try this out. Instead of sliding the slider to make it horizontal, a better way is to set smartmovie to 'portrait' mode. It shows up as landscape on the TV - and there's definitely less pixelation on the picture. (than when sliding the slider to horizontal and 'forcing' the phone to compensate.)
• Make your Ringtone horrendously loud by turning ON the 3D Ringtone.
• Unless you have a good reason not to, just change your network to "GSM" only... to conserve battery.
• Also turn the WLAN search to off when you're not using it. This conserves battery as well.
• Using GPS, click on options/view/satellite info, then after you got a good satellite status say 3 to 5 you can then click back and it will make your connection faster.
• You can hold down the pound key (#) when in the standby menu, to activate the 'silent mode' in your phone.
• Don’t use the red ("hangup") key to exit an application. In many apps, this just keeps it in the background, eating up memory and slowing down your phone.
• You can change the shortcuts on the home screen to the apps you use most frequently by going to Settings/General/Personalisation/Standby Mode/Shortcuts.
• Ever have a problem when installing themes.... and the dreaded "expired certificate" error message pops up? This is mainly due to the fact the licensed signed certificate that nokia gave for the thememaker has a 1 year validity period - if you're just installing this old theme, and its more than a year old, you'll get that message. Simple solution is to go to the calendar of your 95, set the date back one year, or maybe 8 months - then install the theme you wanted. Restart the phone, then set the correct time again, and you're done.
• Ever think of turning your n95 into a webcam? Check out this link:http://www.motvik.com/*Pimp your n95 with lots of apps!http://vaibhavsharma.wordpress.com/2...pimp-your-n95/
• The ultimate loose/wobbly slider fix: (for those unfortunate to have a wobbly slider).http://n95slider.blogspot.com/
