9.5 for n95?
Is possible that nokia will relase firmware update(for symbian 9.5) for latest phones? Features of symbian 9.5 sounds nice. Price of Nokia N95 is very expensive (£600). I wont buy new phone just for new symbian.

S60 with pen input
Not many people seem to be aware, but there really is a S60 smartphone with pen input, just like the UIQ devices - the Lenovo P930 for the Chinese market:

Nokia's choice.
S60 is their GUI and they can do what UIQ do or not. It's up to them.

Touch screen
Comment: "Will be in 9.5 supported TouchScreen? Can we expect any PDA-like device? 7710 Successor? TyTN opponent?"
Symbian has always supported touchscreen, Symbian UIQ phones almost all use touchscreen.
Symbian don't make any devices themselves, they just make an operating system
My question:
yes Symbian UIQ phones almost all use touchscreen... but symbian S60 3rd edition nokia mobile phone are ready o is able to use Touch screem?
S60 is able to can use Touch screem and is just a decision of Nokia? or the S60 need to be some update ?
will 9.5 in S60 support touch screeen? or is just choice of nokia?

The perf. improvements will help any phone if the manufacturer decides to switch them on.
The mfr can then decide to economise on the hardware rather than making the device fast. When there are millions of units, tiny savings make a lot of difference.

Well, my friend does use the MP3 player on the W950, you are right, it would be daft if he didn't! But this usually means it has to go on charge the moment he gets home every day.
The point was that I don't use my N73 as a music player, so when you compare like for like usage, his phone lasts longer on a charge.

Hey WebBunny,
I believe that both the N73 and the W950 have a comparable CPU clocked just above 200MHz. The N93, N95 and E90 have a considerably faster CPU, clocked around 300MHz.
I'm surprised to hear that you find the menus on the W950 'snappy' as there are lots of complaints about the so-called 'transition effects' on the UIQ3 devices, which fade in - fade out menus and so.
I do wonder why you'd buy a Walkman phone and not use the MP3 player 
Anyways, I've got the P990i which is much like W950; I understand the problems of one-handed use of it. Although the P990i is a bit easier one-handed b/c of the 5-way controller on the flip it would still be very good if they could spend more time on making it easy to use the phones with only one hand.
Cheers,
--Tim

'Symbian OS v9.5 delivers performance improvements'
Hmm... this reminds me of Steve's 'Tortoise or Hare' post a few days ago. I've got an N73, I've had a good play with a W950 that a friend has. The W950 seems much 'snappier' than my N73 at opening apps, menus etc. Which could just be that it uses a faster processor. But then I'd expect it to have shorter battery life, especially since it has 20% less battery in the first place. But my mate tells me he charges his every 3rd day if he doesn't use the MP3 player, just making calls, sending texts and a little web surfing, same as me. Which is less often than my N73 gets plugged in.
So I'm left with the conclusion that my N73 has a faster processor, but its S60 that is using up the extra speed and making it less responsive.
So for us S60 device users, I dont think we will see the work Symbian has done to speed the underlying OS up, because whatever version of S60 ends up on top of v9.5 will just bog it down again 
OK, so why dont I just get a W950? Well, the input/control method is a dogs dinner, to be honest. The combo of touch screen soft keys, stylus and jog wheel makes the thing a 2 handed device only, and way way too fiddly for me. Which is a shame, because otherwise its a damn good bit of kit otherwise.
I like that S60 is designed to be used one handed (no tittering at the back). I remember trying to use a old Palm Pilot with a stylus. Couldn't do Graffiti while walking! Just the slightest shake would make the gesture shapes go all wrong. And the time I tried to use it on a train that had standing room only, and trying to get Graffiti to work AND not fall over (no spare hand to hang onto anything, you see) was like something out of Mr Bean. 
Andy.

Touch screen have been supported in Symbian since the beginning. (Or rather tha bility to have multiple input mechanisms). Devices are up to the licensee not Symbian - but I imagine there are some interesting devices on the way!
Monday is the start of CTIA - its a big US wireless conference.
DVB-H is not necessairly an operator service. The point about it being included in the OS (or rather the possibility of including it in an OS build) is about reducing time to market. If it in the OS no need to build it yourself.
