When I enter my code under my battery as mentioned here it tells me that version 20.0.015 is the latest available for my phone, and I have it already.

Seems like mine is not ready to take v21 yet so my suggestion is to first check it via the link. This update has been out for a while now but I will not do it until the nokia site says it'll work on my phone.
 
Mmm! You have to first change the phones product code with NSS, update the firmware and changed the product code back ( I kept mine on the english version, save redoing this all over again) See here (Also in Old threads here), then check for the update. Mine works fine on the version 21, so far for 5 hours+......
 
Why would you want to wait for voda and mtn to release their crap branded firmware? And only get the cool new features a year down the line when n95 will be obsolete already?

I posted about new firmware about a month and a bit ago, and it's still not available on our codes. Simply change to euro1, and enjoy new firmware, and the lack of operator crapware.
 
Same here. Finally I can select UMTS mode in my Network setting when using the N95 as a modem....

And I answered my own question early in the post: No, you cannot use 8GB product codes and vice versa for standard N95 models....

Note: UnoPanelvan mentioned the use of NSS. Beware with this software and ONLY use to change product codes. My stupid friend bricked his phone whilst seeing what other features NSS offers...
