I know the past few weeks I have talked about the new firmware for the N95 Classic coming soon. Well it's finally here and available for everyone - this time according to Nokia.

On Nokia's Software Update page you can find a few details about the new update...

Nokia N95 software version 21.0.016 released - 26 March 2008
This software version includes Flash Lite 3 support (enabling users to watch Flash video web sites such as YouTube) and Widget support. The release also includes standby-time improvements and improvements to Bluetooth headset interoperability.

However, the website All About Symbian has found even more details about the new update. They say...
  • Flash Lite 3 is included, so Flash video sites will work, including YouTube (just as on the N95 8GB v15 firmware from a couple of months ago)
  • The Web runtime is included, meaning that standalone widgets are now possible
  • Greater Bluetooth headset compatibility
  • Better handling of entering lots of text into web page dialogs
  • Speedier Gallery in every way
  • Faster Java runtime, so Java apps start faster
  • plus the usual miscellaneous bug fixes and tweaks, no doubt!

It looks like Nokia has taken care of their original N95 which caught much crap in the past for having less features and a weaker battery then it's better brother the N95-2. With a few batches of updates the battery life has been improved greatly and it seems as though the features of the N95-1 are now matching the N95-2, making it a phone back in the game because it still has one up on it's brother - expandable microSD slots. For many this outweighs the larger screen. Not to mention the new variety of colors which I'll mention in another post today.
