Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gets its first major update; Firmware version reaches 20.0.0.12

Just when we reported that the minor firmware upgrade has been released for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the Finnish giant released a new update, this time much larger. Although there is no official change log, AllAboutSymbian’s Rafe Blandford and Steve Litchfield managed to identify some of the changes:
- Geo-tagging information is now available in Camera
- New applications added: Dictionary (as seen on E66 and E71) and App. update for updating individual Nokia (NYSE: NOK) apps outside of firmware upgrades (as seen on N85 and N79)
- Overall performance is improved – screen rotations are faster and apps run smoother, most notable example is Gallery
- Flash playback is faster with less hickups in S60 Browser
- Standby “Search” is updated to search for both phone content and the Internet
Aside from the visible changes mentioned above, Nokia also fixed some of the known bugs to make the device as stable as possible. The update should be already available, although firmware availability usually varies by market and variant. The easiest way to proceed is via over-the-air update on a WiFi connection. Before doing so, we advise you to backup the device despite the fact the Tube supports UDP.

My Phone is Nokia 5800 Red Color. Its Phone Is No Updating Why Reason? What Problem

im not able to update my nokia5800. it’s showing me that there’s no update for your device…… pls HELP me out…..???? wat should i do……pls guide me…..
Every one is entitled fro the firmware update, although new firmware availability varies by region. So if you still haven’t notice a new firmware being available in PC Suite, it’s coming soon. Patience, my friend.
My Phone is Nokia 5800 Red Color. Is is Suddenly Automatic Color Change. What reason?
I am also facing the sudden screen colour change issue in my set.The display looses one of the RGB colours suddenly as if there is a loose contact. It resumes the normal colour in 2-5 seconds.
I just did the v 20.0.0.12 update through Nokia Software Updater -application without any problems, find it f.ex. from http://www.nokia.com ( I used .fi because of my location ). I backed up the data from phone to the memory card before update (main menu/ applications/ file manager/ safe copy) and after update I returned the original data from the same place (under Safe Copy). Dictionary, auto update device, GPS photo etc. cool appeared after the update, but the main thing is that the system got way more stable and more faster, too. Gallery works like a dream and pictures turn in no time on the display etc. A very good update!! I’m still envious to my mate, tho, because he has the Blue version (mine is red, obviously) and it seems the Guitar Hero game is only included for the Blue version of the Tube. I think it’s unfair and I was kinda waiting it to be included into this update 20.0.0.12, but no … it was not. Anyone has information of how to get for the Red version, please let me know! Cheers all, have a good time with the coolest mobile around!
My friend with the Blue version also suffers from the temporary display’s color loss. Weird…

…oh Yeah and one other “new” feature after the update: Now I can choose to use the number 2 camera (vid. call cam.) from the cam options list. Before this it didn’t even appear in there, ie. it was unable to be used! Now it’s there, I can finally admire my gorgeous face (muhaha).

I have Xpressmusic Blue and the updates seem to backfire specially on the bluetooth.
Originally out of the box came with version 10 so worked with BMW 530 and 750 with limited capability and no access to phone book. Problem was screen freezing while browsing.
Ver 11 fixed the freezing improved the Bluetooth functionaity to full blast for the 750 but killed the connectivity to the 530 as it pairs for 45 seconds then disconnect and back and forth.
Ver 20 did not fix the problem and did not do much for me.
Yahoo email address works with the 3G account and NOT with WiFi.
Please Nokia fix thee poblems.
