Nokia N95’s new firmware version is available now for download via Nokia Software Updater, The new V21 version contains dramatic changes including: Flash Lite 3 and Widget Support, with lots of bug-fixes.

In order to have the new firmware installed on your N95, you need to download and install Nokia Software Updater on your PC.

The process of updating my N95 is done, but frankly, I’m not 100% happy about the new firmware, for instance, Because till now the N95 doesn’t support User Data Preservation, The Update will “As Always” delete everything on the phone memory, and will ruin most installed applications on your device, The first problem is easily solved by backing up your phone memory, but the second one’s solution is a bit pain in the ass, which to install every app you had again, something that’ll keep me busy during the day!

But still, I got Flash Lite, Viewing videos on my N95 is really amusing, guess I won’t be using emtube no more, but the only problem about video viewing is power usage, My N95’s battery lasted for a record breaking 3-4 hours! so it’s advisable to view videos only when your N95 is plugged into the wall.

Guys over at Symbian Freak were informed by trusted sources that we’ll be expecting a new firmware version for the N95-1 “v21.0.016″, And they already acquired the change log!, It includes massive changes including Flash lite 3 support, which means that you’re going to easily play any video or flash content directly from the Web Browser, Other changes include Widgets support and bug fixes.

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.

I couldn’t believe the Video i came across on Youtube , The N95-1 “with 48 MB” worth of RAM boots faster than N95-3 “with double the amount” !!

After Booting , The Video Guy “as i call him” navigated through the menus , and then turned on the camera on both phones

Surprisingly , They had the same speed !

“i think that with Demand Paging , probably released in the upcoming N95-1 software will make the extra RAM Boost in the N95-3 & N95 8GB useless “
