Hi,
Iam in India. I checked with OTA and NSU. Both shows no update available for the device and showing the current update is V30.0.0.11. Mine is Nok5800XM RM-356. will there be a new release soon for india? I saw another thread which discussed about new update on october in india. Is that true? will there be a new update other than v31.0.0.08?
the firmware is still not available in india.even countries like bangldesh and srilanka have recevied the update????wtf
nokia takes indian customer completely for granted.
even an update firmware is availble for 5530 but the phone is itself not availble in india and will not be availble befor october where as it is over a month that 5530 is availble in other parts of world.
India is the largest market for nokia and they treat us like this.
@nice
some users have reported getting the firmware in india. Nokia india planned to release an update in early October ,so don’t know if this update was scheduled to hit India then.
Thats great news! Thanks Fonearena !
Does the firmware have kinetic scrolling feature?
Sadly no
Heard that this update has more bugs than resolution
Any info?

Dear all, check your product code, (under your battery) and go to the NOKIA website to check if an update is available for your specific regional phone.
Official Changelog:
Improved Navigation with Ovi Maps 3.01
Improved Performance
Other changes noticed:
Better response from touch screen
Free RAM improvements
Shortcut bar instead of contacts bar
Pause/Play with fade effect
Earphones sound quality improved
Deleted autorama images has been fixed
Acellerometer almost instantaneous
Another new thing in the update is that when you pause/play there is a fade effect…
I have heard that the new update comes with a “performance boost”. Can anyone who updated confirm this?
i have updated but there are no differences.
no updates at all
and my accelerometer is slow
takes about 5 to 6 seconds for it to load if u rotate the screen
its 12 october and still there is no sign of any update
not even the 31.0.008 version is available in india .
so is nokia going to release two updates simultaneously ?
