N95 classic firmware 30.0.15

Hooray ,another firmware upgrade for Nokia n95.  Auto-rotation has been a default feature in this latest firmware. Well, the rotation is not that smooth though. Nokia Maps 2.0 built in. Noticable user interface improvement, but yet to try it. Prefer Garmin XT with Malsingmaps at the moment.

Full N-Gage client also install by default, i'm not a fan of N-Gage games. Have my PSP for that. Probably it is a good one for those N-Gage fans. 

Others feature enchancement include Share online 3.0 easy upload to Vox, Flickr and Ovi) and Nokia Search (now includes Google as an option). 

To upgrade to this version, visit Nokia website to download Nokia Software Updater and follow the on screen instruction.

** Beware, "ALL Data will be erase" backup your phone data before attempting to upgrade the firmware.**
