Woo! New firmware update for my Nokia N95.

Have only been playing round with it for a few mins, but one change that rocks, is that it now does ‘upload photo to flickr’ uploads in the background, and just gives you as nice notification when finished, instead of hogging the phone screen until it finishes.

Also, small waits while handling image processing / saving are handled better (’Image Processing’ message instead of just a UI hang)

Apparently there are quite a few under the bonnet updates like on demand paging, meaning you have a lot more ram free more of the time (30MB free at bootup)

One thing I will say, is if you are going to do a backup/restore from the nokia pcsuite (Which you will need to do to keep your stuff, as a firmware update nukes everything on your phones memory) MAKE SURE you are running the special ‘Nokia N95 PC Suite’ This has a black user interface, and you gettit from HERE.

Compared to the normal nokia PC suite, which has a white interface, and will hang on 60% of your ‘restore backup’ procedure.
