Nokia releases software update for N95

Damian Koh | Jul 27, 2007

Tearing your hair out because your N95 takes forever to get a GPS location fix? Nokia's not going into the hair industry, but at least you don't have to worry about a balding head now.

The Finnish company has just announced a software update for the Nokia N95 and the new release will add Assisted GPS (AGPS) feature to the handset. This, according to Nokia, will reduce the time to first fix. AGPS operates in combination with a technical framework that allows third parties, such as telco operators, to reduce the initial time needed for the device to calculate its current position and is especially useful in urban areas. The feature was first sported on the 6110 Navigator.

Editors' note:

July 27, 2007--According to the latest update from Nokia, the firmware will be available only after August. Users can either follow the same link below to download the patch or go to any Nokia Care center in the region to get the fix.

Users can now download the update via Nokia's Web site here.

But I found the latest version is still v11.0.0.26, which was released since Apr 17, 2007.

hey guys, apparently the firmware will be available only in august, so that'd explain why it's now downloadable from the Web site yet..
