Rumoured N95-1 v30 Firmware

As usual, rumours are lose! This time it's about N95 next firmware. Well The N95-1 has received a good number of updates the past few months and Nokia has truly made the device unbelievable, perhaps even the best phone we've ever seen. They've given us better battery life, top-notch GPS, Device Paging with sufficient RAM to work with, the next generation of N-gage Gaming experience, and so much more, but after the v21 update, the phone seems so perfect we can't really ask or hope for more, can we?

Some beg to differ, eyecandy seems like what we're going for next!

Rumours have been spreading around Syrian Related websites that the Nokia N95 will be getting yet another firmware updater, bringing the N95's firmware up to version 30! The supposed change log sounds VERY interesting and there's one feature that stands out...
These new features should be arriving in the proposed V30 firmware:



• Full NGI
• Video content
• Maps 2.0
• Kastor UI
• Share online 3.0 with Ovi
• Nokia search with Google plug in
• Changes to music Shop and player


• Automatic screen Rotation
• Download 3.1

Impressive, isn't it? You can find more info about Kastor here at TAT's site.
Could you imagine this sort of UI on your S60 device? I for one would love something like this on my N95. However, none of this is confirmed .

1)This Kastor UI seems too good to be true, so good in fact that it looks even better than the FP2 UI... Surely Nokia wouldn't allow their old devices to have superior UIs to their new flagships such as the N96?
2) That video above seems to have been made all the way back in 2005, I even checked TAT's site using the way back machine and there were mentions of Kastor and Syrian back in 2005! Why would Nokia wait a whole 3 years to implement Kastor?

Sounds nearly impossible to me, since Nokia has never changed their UI for all these years. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, stay optimistic people!
