N95 firmwares are on the loose!

It looks like Nokia is going all guns blazing to keep the Nokia N95 owners happy. After yesterday’s long awaited update for the N95-3, today comes an update for its 8GB sibling. The latest firmware for the N95-4 is now v20.2.005 and is available via NSU.

Early reports at FinestFones from Goldskin and Mrweiser say that the N95-3 is now much faster in booting up, starting the camera(and saving pictures) and in general use which implies that demand paging is now present on the N95-3.

The search application has now been integrated into the standby screen AND Flash Lite 3 is now added to the browser meaning that flash videos from sites (NOT just YouTube) will play beautifully without the need for any 3rd party software.

The N95-3 update includes, but not limited to ;)

• - Flash Lite 3 Support
• - Faster Bootup
• - Much Faster Camera
• - Integrated Search
• - Demand Paging - Phone gets faster
• - No ASR
• - N-Gage Demos

The N95 8GB update on the other hand seems to have nothing much than some under the hood touch-ups according to my friend Vaibhav.
