The Nokia N95 has just received a firmware update that can be downloaded via your home PC(or theoretically OTA); Nokia itself describes the change-log as following:

This software version includes battery, stability & performance improvements enabling you to run faster and longer - giving you up to three more hours of music (up to 30% increase, from 9h to 12h of music playback). This release also includes a new version of Nokia Maps which provides faster positioning, faster Map Loader, and free 3-day navigation. Free N-Gage demo games are included and other games are available via Download! With the Nokia Music Store now live in the United Kingdom, users can enjoy the convenience of instant over-the-air downloads, regardless of where they are.

After updating your device software to 20.0.015, and restoring your personal data, you can optimise the menu layout by installing the New_Menu_Structure.SIS file. Download and install this file to rearrange your menu layout specifically for SW 20.0.015. Reboot your device to see the menu changes.

Interestingly, the boys over at AllAboutSymbian’s claim a completely different feature list:

    • New Welcome application

    • New camera software and tweaks from the 8GB model - FAR faster shot to shot time, with 'Processing image message' during any delays. I suspect the image processing algorithms have changed too, to remove some of the remaining artificial edge enhancement in the v12 firmware.
    • Long press on camera button launches camera if shutter is open
    • New My Nokia SMS tips and mobile web portal system
    • Demand paging (for ROM applications) with 30 plus MB free RAM after booting.
    • Search 4.0 integration on standby screen.
    • Old multimedia menu still there, i.e. it's not the new style
    • N-Gage game previews (FIFA, Asphalt) and portal/shortcut to upcoming N-Gage client, as in N81 and N95 8GB
    • Nokia Music Store client, although the store server hasn't been updated to handle the N95 yet - maybe this'll happen later today
    • Keypress bug gone(!), I think
    • No auto-screen rotation, looks like I was wrong predicting this, so we need Samir's RotateMe after all - someone please help him get this signed ASAP!
       
    • Assorted other minor tweaks, along the same lines as the N95 8GB, with video ringtones, theme animations and a Circles Music Player visualisation.
