A new firmware upgrade is available for the Nokia N95
First we’ll have a taste of the Changes in the new firmware :
- New Welcome application.
- New camera software and tweaks from the 8GB model – FAR faster shot to shot time, with ‘Processing image message’ during any delays. I suspect the image processing algorithms have changed too, to remove some of the remaining artificial edge enhancement in the v12 firmware.
- Long press on camera button launches camera if shutter is open.
- New My Nokia SMS tips and mobile web portal system.
- Demand paging (for ROM applications) with 30 plus MB free RAM after booting.
- Search 4.0 integration on standby screen.
- Old multimedia menu still there, i.e. it’s not the new style.
- N-Gage game previews (FIFA, Asphalt) and portal/shortcut to upcoming N-Gage client, as in N81 and N95 8GB.
- Nokia Music Store client, although the store server hasn’t been updated to handle the N95 yet – maybe this’ll happen later today.
- Keypress bug gone.
- Music player has a new visualisation and also remembers where you got to in a podcast, so you can pick it up again later on.
- No auto-screen rotation, looks like I was wrong predicting this, so we need Samir’s RotateMe after all – someone please help him get this signed ASAP!
- Assorted other minor tweaks, along the same lines as the N95 8GB, with video ringtones and theme animations.
The thing is, with so many updates it seems to me as if the phone has been completely upgraded! The RAM issue is one of the best that I’ve found in the version, Demand Paging sure does rock!
Not to mention the numerous other features they have included..i only wish they’d updated the Multimedia Menu and the Flash PLayer – life without YouTube sucks! Not to mention the everboring multimedia menu, it’s of absolutely no use, any normal dude would be able to open an app in the normal menu way in half the time it takes to load the Multimedia Menu. Somtimes I guess I just don’t understand Nokia..
