Finally got my Nokia N95 firmware upgraded, ive been on the same firmware since i bought the mobile. No matter which news post or feed that i read, theres allways a new firmware popping up somewhere, and its been a real pain. I admit i was on v11 something, which is higher, well was higher then some people who are still stuck on v10 with some mobile providers, which makes me wonder. Why do we have to suffer with outdated firmware, because the mobile providers carnt be bothered to take the firmware and just put there images in it, or strip out what they dont like allready? All they do is add there own theme, and thats about it really. I will admit, to actually upgrade my N95 to v20.0.015 i did have to change my code internaly, which does void the warranty, but for how easy it is to change the code, it wouldnt take to long to change it back. I could do it right now, and it wouldnt make a difference at all. It just seems a shame that to actually update your own firmware, your supost to use the Nokia Updater, but since your with a mobile provider the actual chances of you getting a new firmware, even if its a year old mobile, are like 1 in 1o, because the providers really carnt be bothered, unless its a serouise issues with the current firmware, and it would make more profitable sense to allow a upgrade.
Like when i had my N73 it had issues with turning itself off, freezing and other known issues, so i was quite suprised that after the first maybe 5 updates that i couldnt get, it allowed me a new one, then after that, the 10 updates i couldnt get at all, untill i sold it to my dad. Which it would of been easyer then to change the code inside the phone to a sim free one, like i did to my N95, so i could get the newest updates. Which the main reason i did it, was because the new firmware, is more then a release, it has some serouise updates which i have been missing for ages, which i havent been able to get, since some of the minor updates where in v12 which i havent seen, and are now improved in v20 with some new better features. I can also download the new msn client and possiable the new yahoo client, mostly the search program is upto date, which has been mostly out of commision for the past 4 months or so, and refuses to search, so ive had to download yells own search program, because the feature in the search program refuses to work at all!!!
Theres also a new New menu structure for new N95 V20 firmware which means most of the programs you dont use that much, are hidden away in some subfolders, but they do have there own swanky icons haha, which makes them stand out better against other programs i geuss. The main new features are the n-gage program which will make Nokia a bit of money, for people who like gaming, so it makes me wonder why they arent forceing mobile providers to check over the new firmware, and get it done out allready, so they can make some money, since there loseing out allready?!?
In my hunt for the codes/id codes to use in my N95 so it still seemed legal lmao, i used the euro 1 plum code since it closely matchs mine lol. I found a 1-7 step way to speed up your N95 or series 60 symbian mobile, its prity much all straight forward common sense, but it is usefull too.
There was also a new Beta program called Nokia Conversation, which looks really cool. Instead of going through your inbox and back to your sent box, going back and forth trying to figure out what you said to your friend, specially if you have loads of messages each day. The program groups each reply and sent message to the contact, you can see the messages by clicking right on the persons name in the contacts section of the mobile. This looks simliar to how Gmail does it, and a couple of new email programs. Because its seen as a easy way to talk with people, because everything is grouped together in a simple way. To be honest, this program would do wonders for people, well mostly girls who txt all day and night, and forget what they said to there friends, specially if they are to lazy to remeber what they sent, which is sometimes the common thing they do. Its in rare cases they forget, but from prevouise experiance when you are sending loads of txts in one day, you do kinda lose track of what you said, but in a way, this program would be useless, if you use seperate names for each of your friends many numbers, instead of grouping them into one contact name lma
