Is that Black 1.4 theme completely black everywhere in the menu? Because that will explain everything. You may try a completely white theme and compare the phone's speed.

Hi icaka
I have just found my new Favourite theme and yes it's the Black 1.4 as i have never seem such a nice really deep dark black theme that actually works so well. I don't have a white theme and would never consider using one to be honest.

Yeah, I know. But an image file occupies less memory and decoding is faster if it has similar or the same colours all over it. So completely black or *completely anything* is fasted decoded, processed or occupies less memory. Thats why the theme is faster, because it consists of similar internal images to decode.(completely black in the case)
So I was wondering if it will be the same with white too. It should be. No need to do the test.

I must say I really am impressed by Nokia's forward thinking. It has come with great appreciation that they have created a sync untility so to speak similar to the PC version for us Mac users. It works like a charm it will transcode the movies for you and music (even to aac
and many other things the pc version was capable of doing.
One thing and I am sure Nokia will be the first out of the camp with is for us to update our devices on a Mac, and should they manage to pull this off then I am sold 100% right know I am at 99%.
I loved my phone but that was just asthetics and a conversation starter the N95-8Gb is a serious powerhouse.

Just a quick one Dogmann. Could you explain more about 'demand paging' (or point me to the link if you already have in another post). i'm curious to know how it improves battery life? is it a Nokia only application/program? & is it only implemented in smartphones? Cheers
@themarques (& anyone else)
Could you expand on this Nokia-to-Mac sync utility you speak of? Is this new to N95 8GB? an application you've added yourself? or is this feature/support being rolled out accross the newer Nokia ranges? Being a Mac user myself i'm really eager to hear more about this & Nokia's possible venture into a higher level of support for Mac users.

Hmmm really considering this phone...
Is there really any diff between this and N95 apart from the obvious?
Looking at a N95 or N95 8GB now

I Wouldn't say its a feature for the N95-8Gb as I did see it there not to long back. I believe it supports most of the E and N series devices. Though it doesn't show the N95-8Gb as been supported I can rest assure it is.

It recently was updated to work on Leopard so thats all working fine. I will point out that you will need a script to enable the mac to recognize the -8Gb version but there are plenty of scripts around the net if you google it.
Regarding demand paging, it pretty much best described as a content manager, in that it will pretty much have the application you require in sleep mode until you require it then upon request it wakes from sleep and puts the other apps to sleep (so to speak) This obviously means that there is less cpu activity in trying to keep 3 or 4 apps open at the same time meaning that the battery should in theory last you just that bit longer.

Did any of you guys know that the N95-8GB is running a slower CPU than normal N95? N95-8GB running a 292mhz processor whilest normal N95 running 334mhz,check the JBenchmark site

just thought id give a quick comment/s on the n95 8gb.....
The firmware needs an update, no question. Whilst the phone was still useable, interchanges between apps/screens are not smooth at all. Kinda hard to explain what i mean, some apps take long to open and the music player cant be 'closed' as such. Where you click option, and then look for 'exit' so that the app fully closes, this isnt listed in the music player option, so the music player is constantly 'open' for no reason. It doesnt use much ram, but just thought id point out that that needs a little fix. The normal n95 when it came out, i got about 2 weeks after, ran smoother than this did when released.
Build quality. Slider is much better than n95, only time its a little wonky is when the slider is closed and you move the slider, it moves side to side.....
more in a bit

@ >500
the reason for N95-8GB being slower is because of the smaller 292mhz CPU. The Music Player thing as far as i know is intentional, the N91-8GB, and N73-ME music players also stay on.
