Nokia N95-1 minor firmware update v31.0.017

The N95 classic has got some more love from nokia (probably for the last time) . This is a minor firmware update (the previous one being v31.0.015) and people who have upgraded have reported that like the previous update , this one too renders your phone unhackable. Users report that the update fixes the following bugs found in the previous version of the firmware:

• Icon animation fixed  
• Language Bug Fixed 
• Bold Menu Fixed 
  

  There has been no indication yet if this fixes the dreaded "curse of silence" bug too. If you have updated and the curse of silence bug no longer affects your nokia N95 classic , do let me know.

As for me ...I'm sticking to my v30 hackable firmware for now. :)

Nokia N95-1 firmware v21.0.016 changelog out !! Actual firmware not out yet !!

The Symbian World blog has reported that the changelog for the Nokia N95-1 v21.0.016 "yet to be released" firmware is already out. This is strange considering the changelog usually only appears about a few days after the firmware is out. This also means that we can expect the firmware to be released in the next few days. I'm particularly happy about the youtube support and the inclusion of web runtime widgets. Now its time to keep a watch for the firmware on NSU. :)
