    It is a very good news for 5800 users like me and i am looking very eagerly forward for this update in the firmware. As there are lot other phones coming in the market with lot of user interface features, like 3D, touch wiz technology etc etc Nokia has to bring this update faster so that its users doesn’t go away to other mobiles. All the best for Nokia.
