First off, apologies to Nokia for blaming their NSU application for the firmware update delay - apparently my version is corrupt and had to get a fresh install from a virgin PC. Overall, I have to say that the version 20.2.011 is definately worth the wait. Sadly, this should have been the firmware to ship with the phone. Overall, the performance - especially, the phone, GPS and camera startup times were vastly improved. Even Java applications open and close more promptly. We can thank Symbian for improving the basic memory management systems in a technology they call Demand Paging.
Among other improvements are to the main screen or short cut dash. Nokia has decided to incorporate device and internet search right into the screen (I guess Google had inspired them). Search is using Yahoo or MSN Live. Overall, the integration is a nice touch. Another application integration is the Share Online. Now, I can see quickly if there are any new comments posted on my photos on my Flickr or Ovi account.
Finally, for the mobile gamers out there, Nokia has also included N-Gage gaming platform into the N95 NAM. I haven’t been following this too closely but now that it’s on my device maybe I’ll give it a try and update you all on the experience.
