N95′s V21.0.016 Hits NSU

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, 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.

New N95 Blue Colour, Embraced Only By Japanese People!

New dead sexy colour will be released for the N95-1, But those lucky Japanese people, Not only do they get good sushi, but an exclusive blue N95 colour!
The Brand new Blue N95s will be sold exclusively via Softbank, A Japanese carrier.

So, I’d totally appreciate it if one of my Japanese readers bought the new blue N95, Ripped the back off, and sent it to me via mail “E-mail me for the address” :p

Nokia, Please universalize your covers, right now there’s blue N95s in Japan, Black and Pink N95s in Italy, Red N95s in the US and Hollow N95s in Egypt “That means that they’re not sold here, or by other words, Banned!“

N-Gage First Access Ending With A Game Giveaway

The so called First Access of N-gage is ending on march 27th according to N-Gage Blog, No one’s sure whether they’ll release the final version directly after that, and the end of the first access period means that Nokia no longer supports the first access N-gage app, and that all you’ve done raising your N-Gage points and your saved games will be struck by a tsunami once you install the full release of N-Gage “In other words, it’ll be gone!”, Which is something really annoying, I don’t care about the points, but I worked hard playing creatures of the deep, and I certainly don’t want to lose that data.

I almost forgot to write about the giveaway part, I’m sure that made you rethink reading this post, Nokia wants to reward all N-gagers out there, for trying out the service, and If you fill in the survey “Subject:N-Gage ofcourse, you’ll recieve by e-mail an activation code for an upcoming Mile High Pinball game” and 1000 community points.

I previously summed up my thoughts about the First Access here.

16GB MicroSDHC works on Nokia Devices

I know I’m very late on reporting this, But John from Telefon-Treff.de posted pictures showing the N95, E51, E90 along with other phones fully supporting the upcoming 16GB MicroSDHC card from Sandisk, which adds itself on the list of why N95-1 “Original N95″ is better than N95 8GB “With no MicroSD port, N95 8GB users are not benefiting from the solo Sandisk MicroSDHC race!”

Over at MobyMemory, Online prices for this baby is down to £29.99 , which is approximately equal to 60$, so now seems to be the perfect time to shop for the 8GB MicroSDHC!
