Nokia Releases Firmware Update for Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

The new Firmware brings speed improvements, new features and bug fixes


Nokia 5800 Xpress Music sees a firmware update

The Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has just released a firmware update for one of the most popular handsets on the market right now, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. According to the news on the Web, the phone's software has been brought to version 20.0.0.12, and it is available through the Nokia Software Updater.

For the time being, there is no official word on what the firmware update consists of, yet some changes that it might include should be a smoother general operation coupled with faster screen rotations, while the playback of videos goes much better than before, especially when it comes to YouTube content, making the 5800 almost as good as a dedicated client for YouTube.

Other improvements brought by the firmware version 20.0.0.12 include new search capabilities, meaning that the 'Search' on the standby screen does not perform the operation on the phone's content only, but goes on the Internet as well. The new software update is also reported to come with the usual series of bug fixes.

Users who would like to update their devices to the latest firmware version can do so either via a PC Suite or through an over-the-air (OTA) update. A 3G or a WiFi data connection would provide better speed, more stability and reliability. Since the Nokia 5800 features data preservation capabilities, users should be able to find all their personal info in its place after the process in completed, yet making a data backup before proceeding with the update won't hurt anyone.

Those who would like to perform the update over-the-air should access the dialer on their homescreen and then enter *#0000#. The device update screen will show after this, offering information on the currently running version of the firmware. The update can then be performed via the 'Check for updates' option in the menu. Those willing to make the update through the Nokia Software Updater should go to the company's site.

As for the WIFI, you need to get yourself to area which provide Wireless Internet services maybe like in Starbuck restaurant (I believe all starbuck provided free wireless internet service).. Using FOTA by WIFI, just choose Search For WLAN and you should see the list of available Wireless Access Point for you to use.. Take note that if you can see something like a lock icon, you need additional information (passkey/password) before you can use the wireless access point. Hope this can help you..
