New firmware trickling into the Nokia N95-1 ecosphere

by Chris Ziegler, posted Mar 17th 2008 at 2:59PM

It's not every day that a manufacturer makes a conscientious effort to keep an older product in feature lockstep with the new, so our hats (and hearts) go out to Nokia for this latest round of love. The original Nokia N95, the European N95-1, has started getting blessed with firmware v21, which brings it in line with the N95 8GB's recent update to offer Flash Lite 3, in-browser Flash, and a host of performance and stability improvements. It seems that folks are still having limited success getting the new update via Nokia's software update app, but it's starting to trickle out there. North American N95 owners, though -- well, as you can probably guess, you're left out in the cold for the time being.

Nokia,

It's things like this that make me want to buy your products again. But I'm scared that if I commit, then you will go back to your old ways and leave me out in the cold.

Here's one cool thing that later firmware enables: tilt control.

I really appreciate this. You can allready get the new FW through NSP's but i'll just wait until it is released on NSU.
