Nokia Prepares Important Firmware Update for N95

N95 users, get ready to improve your precious handset, because Symbian Freak reports that Nokia prepares an important Firmware update to be released soon. After the rumors about N82's Firmware being updated, now it's time for the older but still great N95. Of course, we talk about the simple N95 and not N95 8GB.

The last Firmware update for Nokia N95 came out in November 2007 and it was the 20.0.015 version. Now we have the 21.0.016 version that will bring major improvements. To begin with, Nokia will add Flash Lite 3 support to N95, allowing users to watch Flash videos and access Flash websites. Another cool improvement is the Widget (Web runtime) support, which will let you personalize the Internet content just like on a desktop PC.

The new Firmware will also come with other changes, like improvements in general stability, stand-by time and localization, enhancements in switching from landscape to portrait mode and screen rotations, improvements to BT headset interoperability and enhancements to Calendar data restoring. Moreover, there will be browser improvements (browsing from WLAN wizard and enhanced long text writing to the text boxes from web pages), Image Gallery improvements, Media Player improvements (Windows Media Player recognition), Java improvements and SIM enhancements.

When released, the new Firmware update will be available via the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) as well as at Nokia Points and Nokia Service Points. There's no exact date for the release, but we hope it won't be too long until then.

A Firmware update is always welcomed, for any mobile phone, especially if it's a major update. With the new 21.0.016 Firmware, Nokia N95 will obviously be a much better handset, and this fact somehow makes it a competitor for the yet to come Nokia N96. Funny, isn't it? :)
