while updating…

Mission accomplished!

I´m sure you know that there is a new firmware version 20.0.015 for the Nokia N95-1, also known as the classic N95. Today I´ve downloaded this new version and now I´ll bring a little review to you.
The changelog of v20.0.015:
- New camera software
- Long press on camera button launches camera if shutter is open
- New My Nokia SMS tips and mobile web portal system
- Demand paging with about 30 MB free RAM after booting.
- Search 4.0 integration on standby screen.
- N-Gage game previews (FIFA, Asphalt) and portal/shortcut to upcoming N-Gage client
- Nokia Music Store client
- Keypress bug gone
- Music player has a new visualisation
- Videos usable as ringtones
As you can see there are some very good updates.
Now you will never get a failure message when you open too much applications, the new firmware enables demand paging!

Almost 30Mb of free RAM after boot up!

The new N-Gage platform is also included:

with 2 demo-games “Fifa 07″ and “Asphalt 3″:

Fifa 07 for the soccer-fans among us:

The music player menu is in a new order…

The music player itself is in a totally new design:


the music player got one new visualization called “circles”:

This is how it looks:


finally there is the new version of “Maps” included…


The new camera software makes taking pictures much faster…

and got an update, known from the N82, the raster:

last but not least, the speed of the camera with the new firmware:

One thing you can do is wait till it´s available. The other one is to flash your device.

i cant update Nokia N95 v20.0.015
how can i open the menu from the “Almost 30Mb of free RAM after boot up!” photo????
you need handy taskman
Indeed the menu doesn`t open anymore when you are opening the slider which sucks. And the problem with the slideshow is kind of fucked up.
