        THX NOKIA!!!!

      22. now i hate nokia because i depend the phone i want to buy on some features like KS
        so i bought the nokia 5530…
        and what i read now?

        they changes the firmware and make this feature available..

        a stupid thing…

        i never want to buy a nokia anymore..

      23. lol at Kinga,

        we’ve been waiting on this update for ages.

      24. Some people are reporting that it is unhackable… so be cautious when you want to upgrade

      25. I can’t believe! TXS.

      26. Every 5800 owner was crying for having kinetic scrolling and firmware uodates in general. Now you have it.. but what about the N97 owners??? :)

      27. yeahhhhhhh finally I guess Nokia do listen to our problems and wants. hump and half of u guys thought that nokia forgot about 5800. but they took to friggin long but thanks anyway nokia.

      28. Should i reinstal gps software(garmin) after upgrade? Nokia is the best again

      29. i really love u nokia
        i got my 5800 bout a year ago

        on 2/09

        back then it was the best phone money can buy & now it’s still the best phone ever

        But u know what i really appreciate more than ks

        the music player bar on the home screen !

        i was gonna buy a 5530 only for this one but i’m glad that i waited on my 5800
        & now we’ve got it!!!!!

        greaaaaaat job nokia

        u r always the best

      30. looong ass time wait!!!!! but i want ks in my browser too! :)

      31. WOW that was quick! when i asked nokia they said in a couple of weeks! i asked it a week ago!

        also, read all the comments! all the comments on the 5800 before this post were like:”i hate nokia”, “they don’t care about us” and so on.. if you look now
        OOOH I LOOOOVE NOKIA!! THANK YOOUUU! <3

        lol

      32. Lots of you guys should now give some apologies to Nokia based on past rants here.

        Development takes time, don’t forget that.

      33. I cant update when it writes 15 min. left phone restrarts and NSU gives error i tried with Ovi too it gives same error too it sais connection to phone is lost recovery needed i am just about to go crazy!

      34. like miksuh says, developement takes time.. they could have done this quick with bugs in the software, but then everybody will say the update sucks

      35. Good news…I thought, then connected with Nokia Suite only to find no update available. Do us NAM users have to wait another 6 months like we did for the previous firmware update?…Come on Nokia…why so long delays for NAM??

      36. Wow awesome! The only bad thing is that my 5800 is currently at Nokia Care beeing repaired… I hope I get it back soon to update my firmware :)

      37. still no answer for may problem…

      38. The Telephone and Contacts button on home screen not responding. after the upgrade.

      39. Great news that KS finally made it to 5800. Can’t help but feel the timing is a little telling though, the 5800 is now about a year old, seems Nokia are trying to soothe the anger of 5800 owners in the hope they might buy another Nokia in a month or so when their contract runs out.

      40. buena carajo!!!!!!!!!!!!
        9 months waiting for this!!!!!!!!
        ? wtf?!!!!!!!!!!!!! NAM??? ok Nokia so 9 more months for us huh?

        screw you!!!!!!!!!!!!

      41. Iv update my 5800 some updates ur missing like the homescreen its not reponding???

      42. How do you change the product code and also are the any implications regarding that, like will my phone work on the network again etc..thanks in advance

      43. @lek

        I had to hard reset before I got the new homescreen, Nokia like to make you jump through hoops to get new stuff. :)

      44. well now just to be annoying like u “tube” lovers did to our post… WEN IS THE N97 2.1 UPDATE COMING!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      45. wooOW great news abt KS THX……keep going..

      46. gökhan u?ur says:

        also added to the main menu if only kinetic scrolling

      47. Calendar entries dont show on the homescreen when using the contacts bar…. why?! typical nokia make all the complex, fancy improvements and remove something so simple and useful

      48. @ As.
        Man be patient.. i don’t know where youlive but when you posted your problem it was 1:48 am [belgium]
        not everybody on this planet is awake at the same time you know..
        did you tried to do hard reset and then upgrade?

        @ everyone
        is there also kinetic scrolling in the image browser?

      49. Scorp Nicholas says:

        @Bart Yep Yep… we have KS in image browser too :)

      50. @ Skullet and everyone who can help me!!!!

        Does any data lost when u do hard reset??? Like games contacts etc….
        If i backup my games will it work afer hard reset???

      51. @ lek
        any data? ALL your datas! lol
        but i din’t know if you can restore them with a backup..

      52. Right have got the update finally, firstly i had to format my memory card, some existing apps cause the new homescreen to go blank and/or grey it out. So for the people who have this issue, try taking out your memory card, you will see the screen goes back to normal, only fix is to format the card as I cant figure out what app causes the problem.

        New things (Good & Bad)

        -Calendar alarm has new animation when the reminder sounds.

        - BIGGEST COCK UP though is that you can no longer make a custom profile or even change an existing one, options are there but nothing happens. (Thanks Nokia)

        Overall im happy but DAMMMMM you better fix the profile thing, i cant even change the ring tone

      53. The best thing ever:
        It now supports WLAN with EAP/TTLS-PAP!!!!
        For those who do not know what it is: This wlan connection scheme is used at most european universities (eduroam.org), which nokia users could not use up to now.

        I have RM-428 and Product Code 0561618…

      63. i’m asking this to everyone that already got v40.0.005:
        i what country do you live?
        maybe if i change the country where i live, it will update..
        just trying out of curiosity [and a little bit of impatience]

      64. @ all
        who are not able to update go to nokia care they will give u update …… i am from india here only the peoples having v31 r able to update through nsu but the other who have v30 or less r not able to update through nsu …… so it shows update is not available

      65. gi, i live in the uk where most of my friends have done the update, but i still cant, its probobly we boughed either a late 5800 or an early 5800, for which they have not done an update for, yet ;(

      66. The new firmware is awesome! Just stupid that they took the calendar out of the main screen. Updated over the air yesterday. Unbranded blue 5800 from Portugal

      67. Ummmm. Updated 2 days back.
        Kinetic scrolling’s gr8 but taking time to open menu.
        Auto full qwerty keyboard while txting in horizontal.
        txt touch sensitivity bit enhanced.

        overall 6/10 (4 for Kinetic scrol)

      68. product code:0576524 i live in the uk and ive got a 5800 im tryin 2 update to the new firmware via FOTA but it says no avaible updatd im currently on v31.x.xxx

      69. if anyine has got the update for 0557815 then tell me please how you did it(OTA or the NSU)?!

      70. I was so angry that nokia abandoned my 5800xm NAM rm-428 model

        Wondering now if i could change to rm-365 to get the latest updates( heard this in not advisable at all )

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ec1GNXQ15w

      73. Product code for instal V40… is Vietnam 0559676… :)

      74. yeah, but if you use a wrong update for your phone which is from somewhere eles then it voids your warrenty!!

      75. I live in Serbia and i have just updated my 5800 to latest V40 FIRMWARE !!!
        Thank’s Nokia :)

      76. god!! everyone is so annoying me now! ;( i want it!

      77. managed to perform the update with little trouble but i find that when ever i open up the wireless security options then go in to eap settings and try and edit eap-ttls it crashes to menu

      78. the new homescreen is get stuck at startup and also it eats up more ram now at startup i only have 45 mb ram free while previously i was having 59mb ram free at startup
        [:x]

      79. the new firmware is a problem.
        Once the keypad is locked, try charging your 5800.
        The home screen will light up and will NEVER turn off even though i had set the light to be off in 5 to 10 sec.

        Man…

      80. @Johannes: Have you managed to successfully connect to eduroam? I updated my phone and can see EAP-TTLS/PAP. However, I am having trouble connecting to eduroam.

      81. After a lot of experimenting I have finally managed to set up Eduroam from Monash University (which uses PAP).
        In case anyone is interested, details are available at; http://sites.google.com/site/pramudi/connecting-to-eduroam-on-nokia-5800-symbian-s60v5

      85. Mayank Kumar says:

        Anyone else noticing a lack in bass after the update??
        The overall loudness has increased, i guess, but i miss d base :(

      86. Just got my 5800 today. I had a 5530 and I wanted GPS, so I was well aware of the 5800′s firmware shortcomings compared to the 5530 (which I still have and will probably keep as backup phone). I was sooo happy today playing with my new GPS phone and decided to get a licence for turn-by-turn nav… I didn’t want to pay. I get into Nokia Maps’ page and OOOOHHH SURPRISEEEEEEE!!!! t-b-t nav is now FREE!!!! So I try to install it and it says I need v.30 at least… I try to update (had v20) and It told me I had the latest FW over the air… I was devastated… no free nav… but I insisted, downloaded Nokia Updater and again, i had the latest… but I insisted again, and again, and suddenly it just accepted the update. I disconnected the phone after the Updater checked the model and reconnected when it told me there was an available update. Maybe the program checks for custom version in that moment and you can bypass that by disconnecting the phone. Hope this helps someone. Cheers!

      87. Saw your blog bookmarked on Digg.

      88. YEAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! IT Is GRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
