Looks like Nokia has PC Suite version 6.85.11.1 just about ready for official release. And it has been nicely improved from the previous version.

The first thing you notice when you launch Nokia PC Suite 6.85 is the new sidebar:

The upper part of the sidebar has a nifty application that allows you to Drag&Drop any file from your PC to your Nokia phone. I tried this with pictures, mp3 and video and it worked great. Nokia PC Suite even converted the file I dropped to mp4 format readable by my Nokia N95.

Below D&D utility is message preview window, that shows the latest incoming messages. It can be minimized to a small bar, making the space available to other applications that will probably will be developed later.

And finally, there’s a new “Settings” option in menu. Here you can set audio&video conversion parameters, and, best of all, it allows you to specify default location paths for Data, Music, Video and Application files on your Nokia handset .

While not yet availble through official PC Suite page, you can get this upgrade through this  direct link. Just be carefull, it’s 25.8 MB *.exe file.
