5800 XM firmware update v31.0.008 using NSU

Latest firmware released for Nokia 5800 XM v31.0.008. Only available throught Nokia Software Updater for most of the generic product codes from EMEA and APAC region and is expected to be available for the rest of the world as well as for NAM and branded devices shortly.

Unfortunately it is not available as FOTA update which is by the way the best and the fastest possible way of delivering software updates. So quite a disappointment. The file size will be around 144.4 MB and you need fast internet before downloading. Make sure you have stable internet connection before downloading as you will feel the pain of time wasting when your internet connection drop and you need to start over again.

There is no detailed change log at the moment and I can't see any noticeable changes or improvements but as you would imagine, the firmware update is always recommended as it usually brings improvements in performance and optimizes the functionality of the phone across many applications.

Unfortunately there is no eagerly awaited kinectic scrolling but a cording to the NSU team, the latest software update comes with a new version of Ovi Maps, which offers improved maps and enhanced pedestrian and drive navigation. Additionally, the software release includes several performance improvements and that's it!!!!

Oh yes, one more thing, Nokia 5800 comes with native UDP support but it is anyway highly suggestible to back up your phone memory before performing a firmware update as precaution measure in case something goes wrong.
