ODP will be included later in N95 FW update. I've been running it for a month now and it's very very nice....
I hope I am wrong then and we all have Demand Paging on our N95's before Xmas. 😉

Also as well, it's entirely possible that Nokia simply didn't anticipate how much RAM the N95 needed in reality.
Nokia should have learnt (but didn't) their lesson with the N80, E70 etc etc.
Great phones ruined by a lack of RAM, to release the N95 a year later with no increase of RAM was hardly a lack of anticipation. It was just plain stupid, 90% of all the software problems on S60 V3 phones are caused by a lack of memory, it is a no brainer really.
Presumably they must have tested the N95's multitasking capabilities, and thus discovered that running any two major applications together frequently results in out of memory errors.. and this is hardly the first S60 device with RAM problems, as you say. At the price of RAM lately it can't cost much more to use 128MB, and the N95 isn't exactly budget.
ok i didnt read all the post on this thread but i think the GPS on n95 works well i have a sarf3 which is great but nokia's n95 gps with route66 works great get 4-9 sats in minutes and accurate, but i have never tried maps as you have to pay.
so before every one says n95 GPS sucks ....well it doesn't its the maps app.
its the fastest lock but works well when it does lock with route 66

BRAVO!
My N95 (Internal GPS used with R66) is at least as good as my N80 was with an external TomTom Bluetooth receiver. I always get a lock within 2 minutes using the internal GPS with Route 66 v7.3.545, and I have A-GPS disabled so the lock is entirely down to the GPS hardware.
It's Noia MAPS that's causing most of the probolems and leading N95 owners to conclude wrongly that the Internal GPS is poor.
