The Nokia 5230 has come in for a firmware update, taking the entry-level Symbian S60 5th Edition smartphone to firmware version V40.0.3. It's early days for the update but it seems to have improved battery life as well as fixing quite a number of bugs. Check out what the Nokia 5230 Firmware Update V40.0.3 has to offer.

The Nokia 5230 firmware update v40.0.3 is the first such update of the New Year. This low-end device comes with 3.2-inch touchscreen and comes with all the stylings of the multi-million selling Nokia 5800 but at a reduced price. This does mean there are compromises, such as the lack of Wi-Fi and the use of a 2-Megapixel camera but it has proven a highly popular device for the entry-level market.

The Nokia 5230 firmware update v40.0.3 helps provide greater stability for the handset as well as improves the all-round performance of the Nokia 5230 thanks to the ironing out of a number of bugs. So far no official changelog has been beamed down from Nokia central but reports are that battery life has been improved, particularly when running Nokia Ovi Maps.
