    Is the promised kinetic scrolling in this update? I see no mention of it in your post.

    There is not a homescreen widget for Nokia Messaging, is there? I want to see Nokia Messaging on my N97′s homescreen, but I can’t add it. Only the default email client can be added :(

    Yes, it has kinetic scrolling…

    Does this finally integrate with the built in messaging? Or does it still launch a separate program? Also is there notification of new messages on 5th edition?

    @God – yes, Kinetic scrolling is here, as well.

    @Emre – yes, you can get Nokia Messaging on your N97′s homescreen. Once it’s setup, you can go into the Widget settings and enable it from there.

    @Vu – It is still a separate program, which is a good thing – the built-in messaging on S60 is horrendous.

    @Nick – that’s odd – I didn’t notice much of an internal memory difference on my 5800XM, and I haven’t had any trouble syncing, either. Did you check the settings, first?

    Ricky, is there any visual notification of new messages? I know the old version was give an audio alert, but if I wasn’t around the phone there would be no way to know I had new messages. I’ll stick to Seven email for now.

    its cool that they have , HTML and kinectic scrolling now , but I am wondering why they waste the full screen ,1/3rd of the screen is wasted both in the portrait and landscape mode with other menus,I hope that they make a better interface and make good use of the big screen.

    You have to select tools -> Go offline in Nokia Messaging application. Or else, even if you exit the application, it’s still online…

    Oh, where do I begin.

    1. Once I updated the C Drive filled in a matter of minutes to FULL and the phone screamed bloody murder until I uninstalled the mail and exchange service and a number of other apps to clear the C drive of space to allow the phone to function.

    2. It is wonderful while it worked.

    3. I did not have it running long enough to see if you could relocate it to E Drive Mass Memory Storage.

    This C Drive crap and memory management has to be fixed yesterday.

    I was able to see the kinetic scroll and true web mail functionality with html screens. I am excited and upset in the same instance.

    When will these folks get their heads straight and learn to NOT put things on the C Drive like this. Everything that comes from Nokia Labs goes on the C Drive and thuse means you now have to make a choice between the new functionality and something else you may or may not need. Argh!!!
