Hello, firmware update info required please.

[Beddy]

Hi I've got a N95, had it since May last year.

A fella I know has got a N95 8GB and I really like it, it has Ngage gaming and looks better. He said that I can update my classic N95 to get same things his phone has.

However, a few of my friends have the classic N95 like me, and when comparing phones the other day I found out their's are all v12.... whereas mine says:

v11.0.026
17-04-07
RM-159
Nokia N95 (65.01).

Is there any way of updating??

The latest version is v20 but in order to update that far you'll need to debrand your device first. More info on what to do here:

If you don't want to debrand, just install Nokia Service Updater and it should tell you what is the latest available on your network.

The firmwares for different devices are different themselves, so you need not take any notice of what software versions your friends have.

Though as it happens, there is an upgrade availible for the N95 8GB (v15.0.015 - Read about it here). You can upgrade to this version using Nokia Software Updater

Yeah, to clarify the latest firmware available for the n95-1 (classic) is v. 20.0.015
the latest for the n95-2 (8gb) is 15.0.015

the 8gb does not do anything the n95-1 can not, it just does them a little differently

By updating will I lose certain things that may be stored on my phone? i.e things in phones memory?

[Calamity]

Yes, its recommended you back up anything you want to keep first :) Either manually or by using Nokia PC Suite.

To debrand my phone I have to download Nemesis thingy (NSS) but can oly find it on some website called b-phreaks, but ya have to pay for it I think.

Can it not be downloaded free?

Or maybe I'm on totally the wrong track....
