    glad to know about the firmware. Was the video shot during an earthquake ?? Just kidding…it was too shaky. And please use someone with better accent or ask the reveiwer to practice what he plans to say before shooting. It’s little difficult to follow. Good information. love the music player. *cheers*

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    Poor fellow has taken pain to share a video lol .. Lets appreciate him for that :D

  • sam

    yh..but perfection is important..people expect that from FA ;-)

  • abhishek goswami

    well after reading the fonearena post i updated my 5800 and i saw there are number of said features missing such as :Lifecasting (with Maps 3.0T SR3.0)
    Flash Video Phase-3 – Flashlite 3.1.7.x
    Gimlet Touch 2.2,Quick Office v4.2,Cherry v2.1,
    Rihanna service launcher,workaround for Niagara (SMD) display module for DFS52.50 based products….so seems like nokia has just made it more of a cosmetic change rather than more of an utility!!nokia,more of this from you and ull start disconnecting people…

  • imrose

    nokia 5800 ‘s latest v50 is really awsome..autofullscreen internet,kinetic scrolling on menus and internet,ovisync,improved music player,its really great,thanks to nokia and fonearena for notifying me..

  • imrose

    I also can’t find out some features mentioned like quickoffice 4.2 ,gimmlet touch,lifecasting,etc…what is cherry??

  • imrose

    I found maps 3.03 on ovi store

  • johnpaul

    i just updated my phone through OTA. Its good to have kinetic scrolling in main menu and the music player is also good. And i also noticed some speed improvement in accessing menus.

  • johnpaul

    One thing i just noticed. Now u can hide ur music player by the hide option. In the previous version there was no hide option and u had to hide the music player by using menu button or show open apps option.

  • naveen tiwari

    great for me thanks nokia for giving such improvement…please keeps on improving…thanks nokia ,fonearena for telling,,,…thanks

  • kalyan

    Me also with no Quick office, no life casting, no rihana etc. If I change the product code will I get the above mentioned features?

  • TG

    I got problem with this firmware. The music player won’t refresh. There’s no Quickoffice and Rihanna Svc Launcher.

  • akshay

    yeah same here
    But it is really cool…
    it seems 5800 users gets whatever they want
    first it was kinetic scroll then we have a new music player as in n97(& tons of other stuff)
    Next we should ask for a firmware with Symbian^3 & multitouch
    btw whats Cherry v2.1 included in the changelog??
    i dont have it neither is quickoffice…

  • Arsh

    As usual not yet available for s. no. 575590
    Those with the same S.No. can update it from any nokia care centre for free……

    The other way is by hacking which is usually not recommended

  • taher

    bullshit of nokia!! just fooled us around, they have given the old quickoffice 4.o.357 something !! not the premier quickoffice7

    also i cant view the office 2007 .docx file in this QO v4, n one cant even create any new document.

    secondly no rihanna svc

    music player not so gr8 job as hyped by fonearena!

    ovi was also not updated , i had to update the latest version again..i don’t understand what is the new thing that they have provided , just kinetic scrolling , thats not sufficient

    i found the reason, why nokia is loosing to iphone !!
    its quite simple
    the updates provided by nokia are not sufficient enough to fill the belly of its customers , whereas apple keeps its consumers craving for new updates and product and free softwares!
    also apple is way ahead in providing updates , whereas nokia gives just one or two updates in an year, that useless ones,
    and after an year or so , they bring down the price and the product is out of production , i dont think everybody is rich that they can afford to change their handsets every now and then , nokia should learn from apple how to keep its customer base intact and increase them

  • taher

    well buddy , dont be agonised but i did refresh and i got all my files … just restart n then try resuming it again!

  • Dave

    yeah its cool… glitch in the vibration option… level 1 touch viberation is more than level 2 touch viberation. noticed it on my phone.. dont know about u guys.. didn’t notice much change.. liked v40 better…

    v50 is not yet available the Type: RM-428 North American version of the 5800 XpressMusic.

    v31.2.101 is my currently installed firmware. v40.xx diabled my on- screen keypad and main screen access to contacts, requiring a device exchange. The new device arrived with v21.xx on it. The update to v31.2.101 went smoothly. I am hoping for the same when v50 is made available for my type.
