Hello,
Im a total newbie to nokia and symbian. I don't even own a N95 yet. Thats the reason for opening this thread, i hope you guys dont virtual kill me for it.
I read the sticky about how to flash the firmware and changing the productcode, but now the following is the case.
I can buy a N95, simlocked to vodafone UK. But i life in the Netherlands. Now the question is, to flash/update the firmware does the device need to be sim-un-locked ?
If no, will it be sim-un-locked after updating the firmware ? (latest v20)
Thank you very much.

No it doesnt need to be unlocked for firmware update. Look at the stick about debranding.
Ok thank you for the reply.
After putting my 'great' idea on the table and a good conversation about this with my misses we, (she .. haha), decided its not a good idea to buy such a (expensive) item from a foreign country because its a bit cheaper.
Another point is that there are so many 'fake versions' out there of the N95 that for me its better to buy one in the local store here in the Netherlands. I need a new abo/contract anyways.
So, now, i have to wait till the end of the month and ill purchase a nokia n95-1 (the 8gb version is just too expensive for me with a 1 year contract). The classic n95 is affordable with 1 year contract, so thats the main reason im going to purchase that one.
I hardly can wait till its the end of the month (money !) so i can buy one.
(Im now on a SPV E650 with a flashed HTC s710 ROM, and i have big regrets i purchased this one about 8 months ago instead of the n95)
I'll report back if i have the N95-1 !!
IMHO a N95-1 with a 8 gb card and v20 software is as good or very similar to a N95-8gb . Yes the N95 -8gb has a slightly bigger screen but your stuck with an internal memory which you can't expand while memory cards for the N95-1 are at 8gb already and 12 and 16gb cards should be here soon with 32 gb eventually😎😮.
yeah, I hate the thought of being stuck with only internal memory... more the merrier...
I agree with ya beefy
ALLRIGHTY !! CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY 😮
I had the happy suprise of getting my N-95 tonight! My misses came trough the door and when i saw the bag my bloodpressure rose like hell !
1) The good thing:
- Its simlock FREE
2) Bad things:
- Its T-mobile branded (eventhough simlockfree 😞)
- Firmware Version: 12.0.013 (so i have to change productcode so i can upgrade to v20).
About this upgrade i have 2 questions and i hope someone can help me:
1) Im dutch, so i need EURO 2 (i guess)
Now there are 2 EURO 2 Versions:
- 0534844 - Euro 2
- 0536065 - Euro2
Is there any difference between this two ?
Second question:
2) Since i have a t-mobile contract, there is something like 'web and walk' installed (i gues its the internet application).
After applying the v20 firmware i guess this is gone and i have to ask t-mobile for the internetsettings again?
Can someone give me some more info about this please?
Thank you!
Ahh, didnt had the patience to wait for a reply.
I followed the excellent sticky quides and now im on v20 !! And no more anyoning tmobile screensaver or logo at startup.
Everythings works fine (i have now an Orange-sim) in it and internet/mms works great, didnt have to ask for the settings manually by sms from Orangeprovider.
Thank you for the great sticky's, now im gonna read the manual (rtfm! :rolleyes😊
yeah, you dont loose anything upgrading t-mob... the web'n'walk is just the app icon over the normal web browser... your book marks etc etc say with t-mob from your SIM from memory.
Happy N95'ing.
