My N95 is alive again and runs
FANCY Futuremark's 3D demo test perfectly

Sometimes such a feeling of triumph is followed by intense desire to share it with somebody and therefore I would like to shortly inform you that my lovely Nokia N95 is alive again and comes to take revenge and I just can't tell you how happy I am because of that ;)

Finally I got the problematic flat connection cable, dismantled the phone again, change it in a few minutes and everything seems fine for now, the great one is back!

However this is not the main point of this article and corresponding video.

My intension is actually to show what I've found over at our forum section few hours ago.

Well as you may have already know, same as Nokia N93, Nokia N95, actually whole N95 family is based on the great Texas's chipset and features 3D HW accelerated graphics with OpenGL ES (1.1) support.

GPU is based on the PowerVR MBX 2D/3D graphics accelerator from Imagination Technology incorporated into Texas Instrument’s OMAP2420.

With the high end PC market secured by ATI and NVIDIA, PowerVR is now concentrating on the portable market with its latest design, the low power PowerVR MBX which has become the de facto standard for mobile 3D, having been licensed by six of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers including Intel, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Philips, Freescale, Renesas, and Sunplus.

Also below are few sample screenshots generated by the new 3D graphic engine

Anyway, Pasco has found a nice application, actually it is more like demo test developed by Futuremark for Nokia to test capabilities of the new hardware and it is the really nice way to and its the really nice way to show you how amazing 3d graphic this phone is capable to process.

Oh, almost forgot, below the video is the download link and it is highly suggestible to get it and try it, you’ll not be sorry believe me, if nothing else you’ll have something to impress your friends ;)
