The Nokia 5800 firmware update v30.0.011.217 finally showed up on our handset over the weekend. It arrived OTA (Over The Air) and took a couple of minutes to download and install. This is a minor update and lacks the kinetic scrolling we were hoping for. Find out what the Nokia 5800 v30.0.011.217 has to offer after the jump...

We first brought you news of the update back in July. Yes, we know there have been a couple of updates reported since the Nokia 5800 v30.0.011.217 firmware update went public but ours has only just made it, so there is hope for every one else.

How to Update Your Nokia 5800 Firmware

We were hoping this update would finally bring the much touted kinetic scrolling to the Nokia 5800 but sadly that did not materialise. Nor did we get the updated interface – we were kind of hoping to get the same Contacts bar as on the Nokia 5530, which allows you to scroll across 20 contacts. Then there is the Media Bar that allows for cherry-picked apps to be launched from the homescreem.

We're still looking very much at the standard four contacts and layout. While this works fine, we're keen to move with the times and get hold of the latest Symbian S60 homescreen.

So what exactly has changed? Well, on the surface there seems to be little change with this update. That said, the handset does feel a little more stable and moving around the different apps feels a little quicker. While there are no major changes with firmware update v30.0.011.217, it's worth having and if it can turn up on our device then there is hope for everyone else out there.
