Roll Back Nokia N95 Firmware

February 15th, 2008 by Turn On

The removal of the tracking facility on the N95 was, in retrospect, an absolute piece of thievery. In one fell swoop Nokia removed the raison d’etre of the phone.

I had initially been attracted to the N95 as it had sat nav/ GPS built in and in the early days of its useage, once I sussed out the Nokia Maps plug in .
I used to select endpoint of journey and start tracking and I was off. I did not really need the voice prompts, I could glance at the screen or give it to a passenger and just say : are we on the blue line.


Nokia have removed this useful function, leaving you with a GPS device which is incapable of Navigation ( unless you pay for it. ). I suspect that the providers (Orange in my case) were moaning about a lower than anticipated ARPU ( average revenue per user ) and hence the subterfuge.

Does anyone know a way I can have this changed, can it be rolled back??
