Although the Nokia Software Update website is not mentioning this yet, the Nokia forums are mentioning the way to update your firmware:
- go to http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4226014
- N95 is not on the list yet, select Nokia N80 or E61, download the software
- start Nokia updater and it checks if update is avilable for your type of N95, example-N95 operator/unbranded
- The reason its giving some people with unbranded no software update available is because its only on Euro 1 N95 at the moment, give it a week or two.
As you can see the update file is 113.8 MB.
Reading some other reports on this first update, we can see some nice improvements:
- No more crashes so far when trying to retrieve services(vox flickr) and i dont know if its my position but gps now picks up indoors quicker than before (no more windowsill) but please bare in mind it could be that im getting 5-6 satellites
- The unit seems snappier and the camera quality has improved.
- Yes, GPS seems better now. Upon first start up, noticed that the signal bars were mostly full.
Will update you with my personal remarks soon!

- Snappier and quicker response in interface: indeed!
Posted 01 May 2007 at 11:53 am ¶- Camera feature is speedier too, with a new sound during focus (half-pressed shutter button)
- GPS: not much improvement indoors for me (yet)…
- Crashes… will try to edit a movie again later and see what happens…
Any changes to the GPS search feature (i.e. working offline) ?
Posted 01 May 2007 at 2:29 pm ¶My 02 (UK) N95 is still coming up as having no updates when doing the above. I guess I’ll just have to wait a little longer yet.
Posted 01 May 2007 at 4:37 pm ¶At least you’ve got your O2 N95! I keep getting fobbed off with a different delivery date every time I phone up for my upgrade. Had any problems with it yet?
Posted 01 May 2007 at 5:25 pm ¶Loads, that’s why I want this update. I got mine instore on April 2nd and had problems with it ever since, and only with the actual phone functions.
Posted 01 May 2007 at 5:28 pm ¶I’m not happy as my O2 UK N95 has no firmware when certain other operators do. Its a disgrace, especially since I actually need either a replacement phone or the firmware upgrading (this is due to the internet browser opening then closing when selected.) O2 need to pull their finger out, the only customisation they seem to have done is add the o2 logo as a screensaver, theme and shutdown display.
Posted 02 May 2007 at 6:58 pm ¶i want a hongkong or chinese product code for n95.
Posted 02 May 2007 at 10:49 pm ¶Latest message from o2 is that hopefully they’ll have a delivery of phones in tomorrow… hopefully this firmware update will have trickled through to the phone (or at least be available online!) by then.. let me know if/when you can upgrade your firmware cheeze.
Posted 03 May 2007 at 12:54 pm ¶With the current position Vodafone is in (legal action against them) I guess that the involvement of operators in firmware and restrictions will change…
Let’s wait and see
Posted 03 May 2007 at 12:58 pm ¶Any updates on the operator specific firmware yet for n95 and if they are planning to realease it? Im with O2 myself and still nothing available through the firmware update
Posted 07 May 2007 at 12:11 pm ¶just updated my unbranded n95 from o2 last night downloaded from the regional website. every thing seems good so far, the new update certainly has improved the wallpaper display function.
Posted 10 May 2007 at 11:11 am ¶Yeah, did the same last week. Noticeably faster and more stable. Thumbs up to Nokia, thumbs down to O2.
