Nokia is regarded as the largest cellphone-manufacturing company in the world, but it’s after purchase phone support doesn’t match it’s elite role in the cellphone market.
Some phones get tens of firmware updates (like the N73 that got updated to v4.0808.4.2.2), some get frequent updates ( like the N95-1), and some don’t get any updates at all ( like the N95-3, and that’s pissing off a lot of people for example Ricky Cadden).

The Firmware is expected to be released later this week, In order to update your N95’s Firmware, you should have Nokia Software Updater installed on your PC.

The only negative thing is that auto rotation was’t added to the firmware, just like the N95 8GB, though Nokia should add auto rotation for all accelerometer powered devices.
