Default N95 software update problem

I think Nokia are having problems with their server at the moment (I
got this information from a reputable phone shop) and this manifests
itself in different ways.

So I think you should wait a few weeks and try again !
I have a N95, 3 x 6280's and a 6288 between my wife and myself and I
am holding off updating !

I did try updating one of the 6280's, and I use Windows XP Pro, and
had the exact same problem as you have with the N95 !!!!!

I did upgrade my software to 20.0.015 (from 12.0.013) on 31-12-2007
and as the update is only minor (only the last 2 verion numbers have
changed), I am holding back, in fact I might not bother until a bigger
update occurs.
Basically tou have to reinstall EVERYTHING from scratch when you
upgrade.. what a pain !
I wish Nokia would explain EXACTLY what these updates include.. then
you could make an informed decision whether or not to upgrade !

Regards,
Steve
