Firmware update

Last month a new firmware for N95 was released:
Version 11.0.026
17-04-2007
RM-159
A complete changelog can be found at allaboutsymbian.com.

The earlier firmware version was 10.0.018.

Updating the firmware was easy. Just go to http://europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate, select N95 from the list and follow instructions. Remember to back up your data and settings before performing the firmware update.

Was it worth updating?
Many of the improvements/fixes are invisible to an average user. Some of the most noticeable improvements were made for the camera. With the previous firmware, images taken with the N95 seemed to be red/pink tinted. The new firmware seems to have fixed this. Take a look at this comparison of pictures taken with new and old firmware. So was it worth updating - yes. The camera improvements alone made it worth updating. In addition you get quite a few bug fixes.

There have been some rumors that a new firmware upgrade is coming soon. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
