Nokia N95 and N95 8GB firmware versions are posted in this thread. Not all fimware versions listed will be available for your phone, depending on what the product code of your phone is.

Why should I update the firmware on my phone?
You should update the firmware on your phone to get the latest bug fixes and new features being offered by Nokia for your phone. In general, you should always use the latest firmware available for your phone.

Why is Nokia Software updater not showing me the latest firmware verion you have listed here?
Your phone has a different product code from the generic vanilla handset codes used by Nokia. When firmwares are released, they are not released for all phone variants at the same time as some networks brand their phones to their networks. It takes them longer to release these specialist firmwares.

Where do I get these firmwares from?
Any new user-upgradable firmwares will be posted by Nokia at http://www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate
