Nokia N95 Software Update
Submitted by miracle_strike on Mon, 10/06/2008 - 06:36I made the first software update for my new Nokia N95. If you are a Nokia smartphone user you might know you can update your phone software over the air or using a PC and the Nokia PC Suite. It´s very easy and I recommend doing it. Usually the updates are small bug fixes, but if you are lucky you might get a better camera by updating your phone - It´s all about software these days...
The firmware update I performed was to 11.0.0.26. This update should improve speed, imaging and more.
