Imminent Release: New firmware for N95-1

Woohoo!! a V20.X firmware is on the way soon for the N95-1 (original N95). It will include the Ngage application (and presumably the Nokia music sptore aplication too). The only other thing I know about it is that it will include numerous improvements to the WLAN implementation (I presume this is will include something from the WLAN software service that Nokia recently formed a partnership with, amongst other things).

Got this information from a person in the N95 8GB beta program, so I'm assuming this information is solid.

Not to mention it makes sense for Nokia to have all their existing userbase with the NGage application onboard for the launch of the new NGage platform on 02/11/2007. So I guess the implicit timeframe for the release on this firmware would be the next two weeks.

I agree, but it would also have made sense to ensure that we have the music store client before they launch the service, and that hasn't happened.

Actually, the Nokia Music Store has already been released and is now available vis the N95-2 (8Gb edition).
So i would expect them to add support for ngage 2.0, music store, as well as possibility of device paging to fix the RAM issue.
