Firmware update version 20.2.005 became available to the North American Nokia N95 8GB, and sources have noted there’s not that many changes. Other than faster camera start-up, I also noticed the font has changed. It looks like it got shorter and more jagged than the old version. I took a few photo comparisons of the two versions for comparison.

Click on each picture for bigger view and better comparison. The Nokia N95 8GB on the right has the newer firmware.

The font is shorter as shown on Jaiku.

The newer font is not as smooth as the older font.

Tinier font allows more words per line as showed in Symbian-Guru mobile site.

I’m getting used to it, but I preferred the previous font. It was more readable in my opinion. The new font allows more text to be displayed on screen, but a few stepbacks were taken to cater it.

Did you update your Nokia N95 8GB (N95-4)? Is the font bothering you as much as it is bothering me? I’m starting to get used to it.
