Mark, could you please tell me the Product Code you are currently using? I guess that’s the Code I’m looking for for debranding my N95-4.

My current Code’s latest FW is 1.2.011 and with branding and the only Codes I’ve found are intended to be used with N95-2.

What the hell are Nokia doing. They are so concerned with getting more information on the screen that they easily sacrifice many possible sales by not offering User Selectable Fonts like Blackberry does on all its models.

There are many older people with reduced eyesight that they simply dismiss with the size of their fonts let alone reduce the size further.

Wake up Nokia and widen your customer base by offering User Selectable Fonts..!

I have two Nokia N95 8GB (RM-320) phones and using the Nokia Software Updater one would update and the other one didnt have the update shown ! strange
Recommend the update if you can get it
Have seen no problem with the Video / Camera functions unlike one other I read about
if your screen stops auto rotate then

Tools / Settings / General / Personalisation / Display / Rotate Screen .. Set to Automatic

There ought to be a health warning on mobile phones as I am sure the manufacturers are trying to blind us all by using ever smaller fonts.

I also this font details should be included in the specifications.

Yes, love for the N95-4. Love the Chinese support for it as well. But for some reason the N95-3 didn’t get Chinese support.

I hope next update.

“Now, they are both at the same firmware level.”

But they don’t have the same software features. For example, the N95-4 with this latest firmware release now has native support for Chinese, something I’ve been waiting for. Alas, again no love for the N95-3.

The font is highly improved at small sizes but looks horrible in large, bolded sizes. The best examples are Share Online 3.0 (for small fonts) and N-Gage (for the bold).

In-between these two sizes, it is a little weird. The font looks much worse in Web than it does in the standard lists (e.g., the Messaging main screen).

Whether I like it the new font or not entirely depends on which app I’m using.

I didn’t really get to play with the old FW… but when I updated from 1.2.011 to 20.2.005 was that a normal “jump”? seems ok, the font actually I did notice, but it didn’t really bother me, maybe you guys just got used to it?

I’m coming from an 82 there are a few things that I prefer the 82 for, but i’ll write more as i compare… this screen is A-Mazing and having more fit, even if it’s a bit smaller, it ok by me… it’s really sexy though! need to play with it more!

@randie: the n95-3 had his update a couple of days BEFORE the n95-4.

Sure you will be the post within the last ten days on this blog.

Now, they are both at the same firmware level.

Hi,

As i post in another blogger post, after 1 day of use I noticed:
- mailbox access is FASTER with lot of emails (no delay now)
- overall performance seems a little bit faster (just a little)
- camera is certainly faster
- battery: for sure, is not improved at least in my case. Mid day usually had full battery, today was almost empty. Maybe due to all the software re-installing… will c tomorrow

I also had a problem after installing. The phone wont register itself on the GSM network (only in 3G). I re-formatted and when choosing only GSM I get no signal. I had to register the phone MANUALLY.

Did I mention the nasty font? – font is HORRIBLE, mainly because make the screen look smaller (I’m sorry, but the previous font was one thing I valued). The impact on the overall UI is negative from my point of view. Yet, I have to say that in WEB BROWSING the new font might came on handy… MIGHT for now
