This feedback not only comes from normal consumer research but also reviews and the feedback from blogosphere. As for the software changes he reveals that “we’ve updated quite a bit on SW side. New multimedia menus are the first step to new contend driven UIs, new Maps ,faster camera + other improvements here and there.” On the hardware side the N95 8GB still has an LED flash and there’ s an enlarged 2.8” QVGA screen.
