Nokia N82 Firmware Updated to Version 11.0.117
The Nokia N82 firmware was updated today to version 11.0.117.

Previously, I had to reinstall everything. The Nokia N82 was updated on my Mac using VMware Fusion running Windows XP.
The Nokia N95 8GB NAM Is Expected by Mid January
According to my distributor, I’ll be able to get my hands on the Nokia N95 8GB NAM by mid January. When I first heard about a North American Nokia N95 8GB from Devin at the Nokia Guide, I thought it was a mistake. However, another dealer confirmed the Nokia N95 8GB NAM by putting a pre-order online and I contacted my distributor just to make sure. So here we go, another Nokia N95 variant is coming. I will also be selling it at the Nokia blog store so keep a lookout.
