Not too long ago North American users of N95 (aka N95-3) were blessed with the long awaited update to our beloved phone. I wasn't going to be left behind so I jumped on the bandwagon and updated the firmware to v20.something... Not realizing that a few features were removed from the US edition (PTT client and IMPS client were some of them). Overall the firmware seems to be a worthy update HOWEVER...one of the things I've noticed is the slowness of SMS inbox. It takes much longer to open the inbox, then click on the message..wait another 2-3 seconds. This is becoming quite annoying. To the rescue comes a good old forgotten friend called SMS Accelerator. This little piece of software was released originally for N80 to remedy the slow performance of SMS messaging. I decided to give it a try and install it on N95-3 v20. All I can say is GO FOR IT. It doesn't just work...it works like a charm bringing the original speed of SMS imbox. Scan the code to get the application directly to your toy.
Engadget scored some spy shots of N85. I think I could go for it under one condition...it must have WCDMA 1700 as I'm not planning to ditch my fave operator..T-Mob.
