New Firmware V21.0.025 Selectively Available for Nokia 5800
The Nokia 5800 has just received a new firmware version 21.0.025, up from the earlier v20.0.012. This latest firmware update for the Nokia 5800 has started to circulate slowly.
The update is available via NSU for product codes like 0575407, 0575408, 0581337 from some Asian regions only for now. We should hopefully see the firmware being rolled out across the rest of the world soon. Initial reports point towards a better camera and usual “performance improvements”.
Here is a quick changelog the Nokiaaddict guys found in this update-
1. Quicker booting up – It seems to let you ‘take control’ a lot quicker than before.
2. You can now make the menu button ‘breathe’ (slowly light up and fade out) when the phone is in standby. It will flash twice if there is a missed call, message or email.
3. Music Player is showing BIG cover art – something that annoyed me in V20 was the fact the cover art was shrunk.

4. No longer switches predictive text off after you’ve used the Full Screen QWERTY keyboard and gone back to the regular keypad.
5. ‘Applications’ has been renamed ‘Apps’ – ‘Music Player’ is now ‘Music plyr.’ (These could be due to it using HK firmware?!)
6. Still no Widgety goodness on the home screen – it’s as it was in V20.
7. Web Browser isn’t working!!! I will try doing a hard reset I think.
8. Camera wise, there doesn’t seem to be any image improvements IMO – but it seems to work a little bit quicker.
9. Not had chance to test sound through a headset yet – I have personally had issues in V20 with a Stereo Bluetooth Headset so will be interested to check this out.
10. I think the handwriting recognition is improved – I’ve not used this much, but it seems better.
11. During text entry pressing ‘*’ key brings up a fullscreen selection of characters.
Check the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) and see if anything has popped up for your phone and let us know what the update brings with it. Though the earlier version v20.0.012 is still not available worldwide, we dont know how long this latest udpate will take to reach all the users.
The 5800 features user data preservation so you can update without worrying about your data, however a backup is still recommended.
