Nokia N95 8GB gets firmware update v30

September 8, 2008

After the recent update for Nokia 95 classic (Friday), they’ve released version 30 for the Nokia N95 8GB. I’m not sure why I dismissed the Nokia N95 before buying the iPhone, seems to be getting decent updates. Hmm, I think if there was no such thing as the iPhone I would of bought it.
