Awesome news…any idea what combo memory is?
I am not too sure pal, but it is something that will work behind the scenes.
hw abt auto screen rotation fr d original n95?
I am not too sure. It might just get it too, after all the N95 8GB also got flashlite support in the browser earlier. However having used the N82, I can tell you its nothing phenomenol, something I won’t miss.
bt it wud b gud 2 hav…..
n do u think n82 is a bettr option 2 d n95 original????
even aftr havin a smallr screen?
If it is better than the N95-1? I’d have to say yes. The screen doesn’t really ‘feel’ small but then I hardly watched videos on it.
can u plz guide me, that can i update my phone directly frm 10.0.021 to this v20. N second thing is that if i update my fone whether all previous apps such as flipsilent, on phone memory as well as apps and gallery files in mass memory would b deleted or nt. Expecting a guided reply. Thx
Hi, the phone can be directly updated to v20 without a problem. Infact when v20 does become available you will only be able to upgrade to it.
Everything from the phone memory including all apps etc will get deleted however the memory card will be unaffected.
thx. But prob for me, i will b unable to resign all those essential things such as nokmote etc, no prob, will find apps somewhere. Well will this firmware allow us to watch you tube video on browser, n download rar files widout that “not supported” error. N last thing, what is this external combo drive support

this will be a big help.
thx
Hi!
FYI: combo memory is the phone memory which sits on top of the main processor of the phone. since there are always new suppliers and types, these need to be specified in the software so that the phone has the correct settings and can support those memories…
Cheers
I got the v20.0.016 but how does the ASR work, is it a setting somewhere? coz it does not auto-rotate as far as I can see unless i’m missing the obvious! enlighten me please!
Excuse my ignorance.. I found the setting in Display. Yay!
if we back up our phone memory, than are those softwares already installed on phone memory before updating, are saved/restored or not?
thx…
They are restored but they wont work, at least they did not work for me like fring etc.

where can I download this firmware?
Just download the Nokia Software Updater from http://europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate and connect your phone in the pc suite mode. Run the application and do as asked.
I have US version of the phone. Can I use the V20 firmware on this phone.
Or do i have to chcnge it to Euro? how can I change it to euro.
Currently firmware 11.2.011.
