Right behind the E71, Nokia has released a new firmware for the 5800 XpressMusic, v11.0.008, which we told you about last month, through the Nokia Software Update application. The update should be available for all variants, though I’ve heard reports that the 5800 XpressMusic’s that are being sold in India now are coming with this new firmware pre-installed.
You may recall that the folks at S60Inside have the changelog, which is copied below. You can also download the Nokia Software Update application here. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic should feature UDP (User Data Preservation), but it’s a good idea to backup any important information anyways.
Changelog from S60Inside.com:
