Nokia 5800: Firmware Version v31.2.008 Update

Nokia 5800 gets firmware updateThe Nokia 5800 has received yet another firware update, taking it to Firmware version v31.2.008. It was hoped this update would bring with it the much-vaunted kinetic scrolling and the new user interface. Does it? Join us after the jump to find out what's inside the Nokia 5800 firmware version v31.2.008...

The Nokia 5800 has received a firmware update to version v31.2.008, which follows hotly on the heels of the update announcement made by Nokia yesterday regarding firmware update version v31.0.008.

The guys over at Symbian Guru have been lucky enough to get their Nokia 5800 firmware version v31.2.008 and can confirm that it sadly lacks the kinetci scrolling update we were hoping for. Nor, is there the new Homescreen layout. As the Guru puts it, 'it seems as though this was a maintenance release, which is unfortunate. It does, actually, include the new Ovi Maps 3.0 interface, which was revealed at Nokia World 2009.'

Remember you can update your Nokia 5800 via OTA (Over The Air), or you can always download using the Nokia Software Updater using your Windows laptop. Before you do so, backup all your files and folders, just in case the worst should happen.

How to Update Your Nokia 5800 Firmware

We still haven't received firmware version v31.0.008, so it seems our Nokia 5800 is two steps behind what should the most up-to-date version. So, we're waiting patiently and hoping it arrives in the next day or two.

    My phone is stuck at firmware 21.x.x.x. Does anybody know why i can\’t upgrade to the latest version? Whenever i try it says my version is the latest.

    Thanks!

    I am commenting late on this topic here.
    But this is one more example how Nokia is ignoring the US market.
    It seems to us American users, that we did a big mistake in buying a Nokia phone.
    Why?
    Because we haven’t got any firmware update after 21.2.025. We have all the same bugs
    as other markets. But we get nothing.

    Same software bugs which require regular hard-reset and the hassle. Its becoming pathetic
    day by day.

    Hi Hary,
    I live in UK and I’m stuck with 21.2.025 as well. I don’t really know why but here the update is not available.

    Guys – updates work by factory code instead of by region, which would explain why some people in the US and the UK get updates at different times.

    you guys who cant update via OTA know there are sites out there where you can get the firmware updates from right….

    guys, simply change your product code to EURO version to recieve updates. i am in uk and on vodafone contract and they do not approve these updates. head over to symbian freak to get info on how to change your product code. i am now at the latest v31 fw :) you can update, then change your product code back to its original
