N95 8GB NAM Firmware Upgrade

I have a mixed heart about firmware upgrades

I love the bug fixes and new features they bring, but I hate the risk associated with doing it, but one thing goes wrong and chances are your phone is a nice paperweight (especially my 140g Nokia N81 8GB)

I made the decision today to upgrade the firmware on the phone WOM-World kindly provided from V1.2.011 to V20.2.005, nothing went wrong, which was great, and I had a newly upgraded phone

Not much differences that I could feel, Font has changed and I read that Flash Lite 3.0 is installed, but there was no N-GAGE or Maps 2.0 integration and most disappointedly, there was no ASR (Automatic-Screen Rotation) But I have a nice app called RotateMe for that anyway :)

I might try out Nokia Maps 2.0 later on today, I tried putting it on my N81 8Gb but the pitiful internal memory caused a problem so large I had to Hard Reset and re-install everything again, luckily the large internal memory of the N95 8Gb probably won't allow this to happen
