There is a new firmware for 5800 doing rounds in the inter-circles of web since June 22. Available for a selected few product codes (maily HongKong) and the firmware version is v21.0.101 and not v31.0.15 as has been widely rumored in blogosphere, which was previously covered in our blog here.

While there has been no official changelong released by Nokia, users who have updated their firmware have reported improved browsing experience on the default symbian browser and as with every firmware update the phone is more responsive and faster with the new update. There is a marginal improvement in the camera performance as well, which has been one of the most sought after feature by most of the 5800 users, ever since it was launched. Its good to know that Nokia have finally responded to requests from 5800 users. However Kinetic scrolling continues to baffle 5800 as of now.

Seen above is the screenshot from Navifirm, showing the product codes for which the update is available. Since the update is available only for 5800 users in Hong-Kong as of now, please update us if you are able update the firmware, while we will be updating you on its availability in other regions.

UPDATE: Nokia 5800 Xpress Music already got a new firmware release, V30.X.X and you can check more about this firmware update here on the Nokia 5800 page: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update.
