Nokia N95 firmware v20 now out
The latest firmware for Nokia N95 is now available through nokia software updater. This version of firmware includes among other things demand paging, which means 30MB of free ram after booting! This feature is enough to not resist the update. It means no more irritating “out of memory error”.Few of the improvements with the new firmware is:
- Search 4.0Â integration on standby screen.Â
- Demand paging (for ROM applications) with 30 plus MB free RAM after booting.
- 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
- New camera software and tweaks from the 8GB model - FAR faster shot to shot time, with ‘Processing image message’ during any delaysÂ
New firmware for N95 on the pipeline
There is a an overview about the new firmware for N95 at symbian-freak. The new firmware (v20) looks quite promising. Personally, for me N95’s biggest limitation is the amount of available ram. By including  Demand Paging with this firmware, nokia has been able to address the biggest complaint with N95. Demand paging will allow around 30MB of free RAM after booting, which I feel is around sufficient (although I will take 90MB of free ram as in the newer N95s).Summary of features are:
- Demand Paging - which may give us around 30MB of free RAM after booting.
- Active Screen has search App.
- UI got the new folders and new applications.Â
What features do you want to see in the new firmware?
