Nokia Fever

Blogosphere is effervescent with rumours of 5800 getting a firmware update to v31.0.0.15. While there has been no official news or comments from Nokia on this topic, bloggers across the globe have been speculating v31.0.0.15 from the video of  Ovi suite 2.0, posted over at Nokia Conversations. (Check the video after the break)

It all started with Vikas from Fone Arena who was quick to spot the v31.0.0.15 firmware being shown during the video at 0:57 minutes. However the screenshot also shows the present version of firmware as v15.0.0.15, which never made it to the NSU public servers or FOTA. So whether v31.0.015 will ever make it our 5800s is something only time can tell. So please do  take this news or should I say rumour with a pinch of salt!

However I sincerely hope there is some truth behind this rumour, for its been really long since the last firmware update v21.0.0.25, which first surfaced in the last week of April 09. Thats like eons ago, when compared to the present world of mobile technologies. With engineers at Nokia concentrating on their flagship device, N97 which is believed to be getting a firmware update this July 1st,  I just hope Nokia doesn’t neglect 5800 users, the first adopters of 60 5th edition devices.

Some of the features that I would like to see in the next firmware upgrade are:

1. Kinetic Scrolling (If Gravity can do it, so can Nokia!!)
2. 5530 like contact screen with support for 20 or more contacts
3. Faster and more responsive touchscreen performance

If you have some other items on your wish list, hit the comment button below and let us know. By the way, take a look at the video and see for yourself what we have been rambling about all along.

By the way, thanks to our reader Mark, for tipping me on this rumour.
