New N95 8GB Firmware v20.016 on the Way - Includes Auto Rotation

Again Teo from Symbian-Freak is very well informed about coming firmware updates. He has been the first who introduced the new firmware v21.0.016 for the N95 a couple of weeks and is now the first who has news about a new firmware for the N95 8GB.

The new firmware is not a revolutionary one, but brings new interesting features.

The first is onboard support for auto rotating the screen by using the built in accelerometer as 3rd party software like “rotateMe” already does. Furthermore, the N95 8GB is the first phone which supports the new combo memory.

Apart from this two new features, the stability of the whole phone should be improved with the new firmware and bugs should be fixed.

As usual, the firmware will be available via NSU and in the Nokia Service Centers very soon.
