Revamp Symbian UI, Dual Core and "True Zoom" phone for 2011?

Rumors already flying around and I just dying to wait for the new MeeGo phone; the Nokia N9. Nokia have already overtaken Symbian, and we might see a major improvement to the Symbian OS. Engadget reported that Nokia will have a very busy 2011 year, with new upcoming N9, a new OS, a Symbian revamp UI, a dual-core smartphone and a stunning "True Zoom" features (It should be "Optical Zoom").

Today however in a presentation in Beijing, Gunther Kottzieper from Nokia gave some slides incidating Nokia Symbian 2011 focus areas including

• Q1 Symbian update will include over 50 features << new browser, new keyboard, draggable homescreen and more. Preview video of which was taken down by Nokia due to “copyright infringement”. boo.
• New look and feel UI in 2nd and 3rd quarter. Aka July and October 2011.
• updateable HTML5 browser (<< this better be as good as MicroB, dammit!)
• Easier software update experience
• 1GHz devices with more graphics memory in 2nd/3rd quarter
• Dual core phones
• True Zoom camera

We might see a second generation "Optical Zoom" camera phone after N93i.
