N95 8GB gets hooked up with firmware v30, too -- just two more N95s to go

That delightful little gift to original N95 owners in the form of firmware v30 has now spread to the European-spec N95 8GB, too, offering better battery life (allegedly), a new Flash Lite client, upgraded media player, "enablers" for Comes With Music (sounds promising), and a host of other tweaks that make the N95 better than ever. In fact, it might have some N95-1 and N95-2 owners saying "N96 who?" -- but North American N95-3 and N95-4 owners, as usual, might let their eyes wander toward the newer piece anyway since there's no indication when they'll be seeing the upgrade.

There was no indication that the original n95 would be updated. There was no indication that the n95 8gb would be updated.

And now Engadget says there's no indication that the North American versions will be updated.

2+2?

Please read the post in its entirety before you comment. I said "...there's no indication when they'll be seeing the upgrade." Key word being "when."

Haven't you guys heard? The N95 8GB does come with music, check out Expansys: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172408. I've tipped you off about Opera Mobile as well, but you haven't published it yet.

this post is kinda fake, i just got the software updater from nokia, and it said my device is up to date.......

Operator updates roll out later. This is the update from o2 itself so yours would register as up to date.
You need to debrand your n95 like i have.
Mine is registering the update but says i need to charge my phone for a bit longer.
