5800 Firmware v21.0.025 now on Nokia Software Updater

By Sushant Ghargi | May 13, 2009

In case you are in that part of the world where the data charges are prohibitive or worse, data services are not yet available to the masses, you don't have to fret for being unable to update your Nokia 5800 firmware. 5800 firmware v21.0.025 is now available on Nokia Software Updater (NSU), which can be accessed from Nokia PC suite or NSU is also available as an independant software at NOKIA website.

Firmware v21.0.025 has been available for update Over The Air (OTA) for more than two weeks now. I don't really understand the rationale behind the time lag between OTA and NSU firmware upgrade releases or phased releases of firmware upgrades across different regions. Lets hope NOKIA simultaneously releases the next 5800 firmware upgrade across all regions and OTA and NSU alike.

As of today, NSU update to firmware v21.0.025 is available for the following product codes:

I don't see any produce code missing from this list and will be glad if any of the readers can bring it to my notice if some product codes are absent from this list. At this stage, I would expect every product code to be eligible for firmware upgrade though.

Firmware v21.0.025 brings some welcome changes with it. The official change log claims a total of 225 fixes over v20.0.012 but the most prominent ones are:

  1. Quicker transition between landscape and portrait mode (Its getting faster in each update)
  2. Browsing is faster in the symbian browser
  3. Faster boot up
  4. Clicking on * when in alphanumeric mode, brings up all the special characters in full screen
  5. Larger cover art in the music player
  6. Standby breathing light

Overall the new firmware is much faster than the previous version. However the breathing light is kinda confusing as in the earlier firmwaver versions, the notification/breathing light would glow only during missed call or new sms. Some screenshots highlighting some of the features of v21.0.025:

left: larger album art, center: full screen symbol list, right: firmware details
left: larger album art, center: full screen symbol list, right: firmware details

Things missed in v21.0.025:

  1. Camera performance continues to be sloppy in low lit conditions (May be its a hardware limitation)
  2. At times, main menu takes a long time to load (new bug in v21.0.025)

Add on to the list, if you find more.

    0576524 is not on the list. Damn O2 never lets us have it early. We only got v20 4 days after v21 came out.

  2. PT says:

    Still not available for me…

    I need version “5800 OPTIMUS PT V1 R” and still not sing of it :(

  3. Ron says:

    How do I know my product code, just to make sure?

    • sushant says:

      The product code of 5800 can be found underneath the battery. If you haven’t bought an export set or sourced your set from overseas, your product code should match with the regions mentioned above.

  4. Ron says:

    OK, found it and it’s not supported…
    Israel version – 0577252 :-(

  5. log111 says:

    0575407 is still 11.0.0.8 :(

  6. Kristaps says:

    Updated to v21.0.025 last week on Monday if i remember correctly here in Ireland..

    Phone is working a bit better but still the Symbian system is letting down.. I hate the symbian.. it is slow, sloppy and sometimes so annoying.. why cant Nokia start from scratch and build new, better(NOT on symbian basis but something alot different) mobile software that ain’t slow, laggy e.t.c., e.t.c…

    Damn are they a bunch of 3 year old’s that dosen’t know anything and just makes the same mistakes with every phone/software…

    :roll: If they will continue this way I will loose Nokia’s trust and finally buy some other manufacturer phone than nokia.. :arrow: started my mobile phone era with nokia and still im with nokia but with every newer phone it gets laggier, s*ittier.. Keep up this way and you will loose one more customer very soon :wink:

  7. ultimahwhat says:

    0577454 is not included. Why does Nokia hate North America? Are our phones not manufactured with the same inalienable firmware update rights as the rest of the world’s devices? o.O

  8. Mark says:

    0577089 – Vodafone UK Blue – not available :(

  9. Poncho says:

    0577454 NAM Version is Still 20.2.014.

  10. dpr says:

    yep, 0577454 NAM version is not included.

  11. Oran says:

    0577454 is not :cry:
    does any have the ota server profile?

  12. sushant says:

    Looks like a considerable number of product codes are still waiting for v21. I guess the operators are holding down the upgrades to customize their services accordingly.

  13. akhil says:

    Does the latest firmware is available for Asia? I don’t know my product code.

    • sushant says:

      Yeah it is available across several asian regions.. you can find your product code underneath your battery..

  14. Nabkawe says:

    I also noticed a major change in volume, it got alot louder since the update 20% or maybe more, some buttons are bigger for better reach and the phone has never been faster but the camera is still a big disappointment

    • sushant says:

      As I have mentioned in the post, the camera performance in low lit conditions is more a hardware limitation because of small aperture of the lens.. I dont think a firmware upgrade can fix this.. The optics is one of the best in its class (Carl Zeis).. Its just that the small aperture limits the amount of light available for capture..

  15. aimdeey says:

    I bought my Nokia 5800 in Nokia Spain’s Store and the product code is 0575384. I’m trying to update it directly from the phone and it says there’s no update available… ¬¬’

  26. Tanzib says:

    Dear all, can anyone tell me what exactly MENA stands for? As per above mentioned codes- version 21 is available for code 0575378 (MENA-E EURO1RED UAE)! Now I’ve found a discrepancy :( My 5800 code is also 0575378 but it’s black and silver, not the Red one. And it’s from HUNGARY!! Is it normal that there could be more than 1 country/ color is being used for a particular code? Looking for your kind answer in this regard dude! Take care…

    • sushant says:

      MENA stands for Middle East and North Africa.. Did you buy the set in Hungary or it was manufactured in Hungary?

      I dont think there will be more than one region assigned to a single code..

      • Tanzib says:

        Dear Sushant thanx yaar for replying :) It’s made in Hungary. I’m now confused whether it’s originally from Hungary or not :( but yaar beneath the battery and also in box sticker it says Made in Hungary! If the code is made only for a particular region then I’m scared will I be able to get all feature in my 5800 in future?! Plz help me to get rid out of it. Thanx once again :)

        • sushant says:

          You got me wrong again. Handsets manufactured in Hungary can have different codes depending on the region they are intended to be marketed for. I mean you can buy a “Made in Hungary” in UK or Dubai. But both of them will have a different code.

          • tanzib19 says:

            Dear

            Sorry to disturb you once again, Thanks for making the things clear. Yes buddy it’s made in Hungary but it’s for MENA. By the way, I still can not update the FW through NSU. It’s already acceptable for my model but why I can not??? Plz give me any suggestion yaar. Thanks again and again
