Nokia 5800 v21 Firmware Change Log

We just posted the new v21 Firmware for Nokia 5800

My Buddy GerryMoth at NokiaAddict has posted a rather interesting change log he discovered while updating his Nokia 5800 to the v21 firmware

1. Quicker booting up – It seems to let you ‘take control’ a lot quicker than before.
2. As mentioned before you can make the menu button ‘breathe’ when the phone is in standby. It will flash twice if there is a missed call, message or email.
3. Music Player is showing BIG cover art – something that annoyed me in V20 was the fact the cover art was shrunk.
4. No longer switches predictive text off after you’ve used the Full Screen QWERTY keyboard and gone back to the regular keypad.
5. ‘Applications’ has been renamed ‘Apps’ – ‘Music Player’ is now ‘Music plyr.’ (These could be due to it using HK firmware?!) Continue reading “Nokia 5800 v21 Firmware Change Log”
