Calling all Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic users, finally Nokia has decided to release a new firmware, V40.0.005. This update comes with the long and much awaited 'kinetic scrolling' feature. Here are the improvements made(I got this from another website)...
Nokia 5800 Firmware v40 Changelog:
* Kinetic scrolling
* Home style widget with Nokia 5530
* if you rotate the phone horizontally, it automatically activates the QWERTY keyboard
* Refresh Icons “Sharing Online”, “Configuring Accessories”, “Configure Phone”
* Improved application “Updating Applications”, which also renames Upgrade SW
* The application “Data transfer” was also implemented in “Settings”
* Real Player Updated
* Touch more responsive
* Slide to Unlock during call
* Improved stability
* New contact & music widget
* Kinetic Scrolling is not available in main menu, application menu, browser.
* Home Screen similar to that of Nokia 5530
* Removed the alphanumeric keypad in landscape version, now when we turned the phone alphanumeric portrait changes to full qwerty
* New screen alarm, but only when the screen is locked
* New screen incoming call, also only when the screen is locked
* Ovi Contacts installed
* In the settings menu there is a new icon for ‘Phone Switch’
This update can be obtained through the Nokia Software Updater using PC or OTA (Over The Air) using your phone. Check your firmware version by dialing *#0000#. You are reminded to backup your files before updating although the 5800 supports UDP (User Data Preservation).
I just updated my phone and it really rocks! Especially the new Home Screen and the Kinetic Scrolling which makes the search for songs and contacts much easier. Here are the screenshots...
Enjoy the update! =)
