S60 3rd edtion SP2.

I vote they give it to us all !!!

Unfortunately, I think they never release Feature Pack updates.

Maybe "They" need some serious consumer pressure! The lazy b.s should develop some software that matches the capability of the hardware.

Nokia has NEVER in its history allowed users to upgrade the OS revision or any form of service packs.

You think they will do the same here?? Be sensible..

They want you to buy a new phone!

Since all of our nokia N95's are with SP1, can we update are handsets with the new SP2 or do they only get put into the new phones by nokia?

I suspect the Symbian OS is on a permanent ROM chip (i.e. not on Flash memory), and therefore neither Symbian nor Nokia is capable of releasing an user-upgrade file for the Symbian OS. Nokia would need to replace the OS chip on the N95 motherboard, and therefore effectively issue a product recall for every unit sold so far.

If the SP2 FP of Symbian O/S is being released to provide mainly new features and not simply to fix bugs, then we can't really complain if we don't these new features free and automatically.

I thought that it was on flash ROM, which is what you're flashing when you upgrade the firmware?

And, as the N95 is "what multimedia computers have become", and as multimedia computers have upgradeable OSs, we have every reason to be positive.

I believe the Nokia Firmware is stored on Flash memory so that it is easily upgradable, but that the Symbian OS is permanently burned to ROM chips (but I would be happy to be proved wrong).
