Great news for all N95-1 users like me, Nokia today released the new firmware version V30.0.015 on Nokia Software Updater, till now there’s no changelog apperaing, no details about it, I’m currently updating my phone but the internet is not helping.

To update your phone, download NSU on your PC machine and make sure you backed up the phone memory onto the memory card.

I’ll keep this post updated as soon as I have the 30.0.015 up and running on my N95.

Update: it took a long while to install the new firmware on my phone, and to tell ya the truth, the firmware is amazing, Automatic screen rotation is there (disabled by deafult), the N95 8GB theme is in there, updates to the music application, new Maps 2.0, N-Gage 2.0, new Download, search application updated, Flash lite 3 updates and lots more under the hood.

Start My new blogging season with this piece of news that I am really excited about, and waiting for Nokia to implement it for the rest of it’s cellphone collection.

The Newly released Nokia N78 got it’s first update, via OTA which stands for “Over The Air” meaning that the update is done directly from the cellphone, no need for the software updater client that is a total disaster and doesn’t work on many machines for absolutely no good reason.

And I know you’re proabably thinking, Updating will take a while since normally firmware updates are 100+ Mb, and downlading this amount of data leads to killing the battery and/or keeping you in debt for the rest if you’re life if you’re using a data connection and got no unlimited plan, well believe it or not the update is 2 Mbs only!! Oh Yeah, and directly from your phone, that means it’s the coolest thing ever.

Apparently Nokia has found a way to update only specific things on the firmware, without the need of reinstalling it all again, which is brilliant, and time-saving, On the other hand, it leaves me with security doubts, is this is safe? is someone’s phone gets hacked or receives an annoying virus, Is there a way to completely install the firmware other than resetting to factory settings that sometimes doesn’t help, We’ll have to wait and see.

More Info about this update available on Symbian-Guru .

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.
