Under promise, over deliver
By James on 27 May 2008
ESPOO, FInland – It was only a little over a week ago that we wrote about the N95-3 firmware update coming in June and guess what, June comes early in Finland! Yep, the update is now available to download.
The update adds a range of new features to the US-version of the N95,
including Flash Lite 3 (so you can watch more videos), support for Web
Runtime (so you can download and run widgets) and demand paging (which
makes the whole thing work faster than before).
Engadget describes it as “the sort of update we can sink our teeth into” whilst the BoyGeniusReport said it’s “better than any Memorial Day sale we can think of”.
If you’re an N95-3 user, then you can update the software yourself using the Nokia Software Updater.

PS: June doesn’t really come early in Finland, just overdue software updates…

Good news on the firmware update. I hope US N95 users complete the update successfully and safely.
Speaking of updating… Is Nokia planning to create a Mac-friendly version of its software updater? We Mac users are still waiting for an answer on that. Would love to know whether Nokia is even considering a mac-friendly updater.
After all, Apple is Nokia’s main competition in the US high-end phone market. (More on that competition: http://urltea.com/38wt) And on this side of the pond, a large portion of the market of people interested in creating and sharing content are Mac users. Not having a Mac-friendly updater for your N-Series phones definitely puts Nokia at a competitive disadvantage in the US.
So anyway, hoping to get an answer from Nokia on this….

My update went smoothly and I’m very content with this firmware release. Thanks Nokia!
Curious as to why the N95-3 didn’t get the Chinese support that the N95-4 did with its latest FW update however. That would have been perfect. I’m hopeful that that will be part of the next update, and that the next update won’t be so long in coming.
