New Nokia 5800XM Firmware


Maybe it's a little too late to talk about this but..
Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic has released a new firmware update! Weee!!
Current version is v40.0.005. The update includes these:
  • Kinetic Scrolling – The much awaited iPhone feature is now here! Enjoy the smooth scrolling while browsing for music, picture gallery, phone contacts etc. I personally like this :)
  • The homescreen is now similar to 5530XM- with contact shortcut horizontal scrolling, music playing display and email update. 
  • New notification screen for alarm and incoming call when the screen is locked. We would need to slide to stop/snooze or answer call respectively.
  • Keyboard changes to full QWERTY when we rotate to landscape mode.
  • New Nokia Communities – Facebook and Twitter app for free! Still in beta mode as Twitter app is still limited to main timeline (no reply no DM etc yet). And with these, your photo gallery will be messed up with the social media thumbnails T_T Nokia.. Please do something about this!
  • OVI Maps is now free – The new update includes Walk and Drive navigation, even Weather and some other online services are free of charge. Plus Nokia let you share your current location which will update Facebook status. Just like Foursquare, well with no rank whatsoever. Easy!
  • No more ‘Download!’ and they replaced ‘Update Application’ with ‘SW Update’
  • OVI Contacts is now pre-installed – Well I’m still blur about this app, I wonder if other Nokia users use this.

Press *#0000# to check your phone firmware version. You can update to latest firmware by using software updater in PC Suite or by downloading it online (recommended). Note: I backed up my phone before update, just to be safe. I’m not sure if the current version is hackable or not. Any other updates that I missed?
Source and Twitter friends. See, Twitter is good. #yorais
