N95 8GB firmware upgrade?

[Somsteu]

Has anybody upgraded the firmware on their N95 8GB to ver 15.0.015 see http://europe.nokia.com/A4577225

Have you noticed any changes in battery life and speed?

I'm too scared to. I heard rumours that you lose Nokia Maps, Spider Man 3 etc

I am happy with my phone as is.

100% Correct - Use PC Suite to make a full backup and only then upgrade!

Make sure you have a full battery and a UPS or some other form of power in case Eskom does some load dumping!

Change the product code using Nemisis.

Change the product code using Nemisis.

Word has it, you lose the warranty immediately if you do that. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I can deny.

I changed the code, didn't even bother to change it back. Then my CMOS battery went, and later I broke my volume down button (clean broke the switch SMD from the PCB).

Took my phone to Vodacare and had both fixed, within 2 days, with no questions asked.
