A very extensive changelog of the recent update for the N95 has been spotted on N95users.com by kylepsp. I for one, as a consumer, am always very happy to see changelogs. It seemed in the past the firmware team has been very tight lipped with regards to their work at Nokia, but we're seeing more and more changelogs- which I applaud. It's nice to see what is being done to further develop the device you've invested so much money in. Especially in this case, as demand paging among other features was greatly needed on the original model N95. I know that many "early adopters" were quite concerned as to how much more support they would be seeing for their pricey gadget after the release of the other two variants. This changelog is quite reassuring.
