Nokia 5800 Firmware Updates To v40.0.005 – Kinetic Scrolling New Homescreen and more
Nokia has rolled out the v40 firmware for theNokia 5800 via the Nokia Software Updater. Changes include implementation of partial kinetic scrolling to the device and a revived homescreen to match the Nokia 5530 XpessMusic. Other changes include auto-switching to the on screen QWERTY keyboard when you turn the device and a few optimizations to the tap/double-tap selection process and the addition of Ovi Contacts.
The update is now available over the air as yet and may not even show up on the NSU across all regions, as always patience is the key. This update is a definite must do, although if you care about ‘hacking’, it appears that has been blocked with this release.
Update includes:
- Partial Kinetic Scrolling
- Changed UI in the homescreen similar to the 5530XM
- Updated Nokia Messaging
- OVI Contacts pre-installed
- New screen alarm when locked
The Nokia 5800 features user-data-preservation (UDP) so you will not loose any data when you update, but backing up the device is still a good idea.
