Last September, Nokia released updated firmware version 30.0.018 for its N95 8GB model, the one I have. Today, some six months later, running the Nokia Software Updater application shows that the updated firmware version is still not available on my phone.

Pledge your smartphone loyalty to whatever brand you wish, but the fact of the matter remains that more and more people are leaving the Finnish juggernaut Nokia in favor of devices from RIM and Apple. During Q4 2008, Nokia’s overall market share fell from 50.9 percent to 40.8 percent and smart...

We know that the shindig Nokia's putting on tomorrow has something to do with music, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility that we'd see some new XpressMusic handsets there, and indeed, All About Phones seems to have scooped the goods.
