Wow, all I can say about this is *FINALLY*. Through this thread on HowardForums, I was linked to a statement by Vandelay, an administrator on the official Nokia Discussion Boards. Vandelay states that he received an official word from the Nokia Software Update team as follows: Nokia N95 US version (also known as N95-3) Nokia is aware of consumers’ demand for a new software release, and our development teams are working to produce the new software as soon as possible. We estimate that the new software should be available early June. Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available. Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants will have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any delay. So, looks like our firmware update should be here within the next 5 weeks (that covers through June 20th). There’s obviously no mention of what will be included in this update, but I’d bet we’ll finally see Flash Lite 3, Demand Paging, Web Runtime support, the whole shebang. This is kind of bittersweet. It’s nice that Nokia is *finally* fessing up and communicating about this situation, but seriously, 5 weeks? It’s already disgustingly past due, and I’m betting this is the last update the N95-3 sees, sadly. I wonder if we’ll also get UDP (User Data Preservation) and built-in Geotagging? Time will tell.
