Nokia 5800 Firmware Update not for RP Users

Hello! Are you a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic owner? Please take the quick survey here!

I’ve already been getting emails and comments from readers on how to get the latest firmware update for their Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Unfortunately, the announcement yesterday by Nokia does not include handsets released in the Philippines.

Though this was not included in the original press release sent by Nokia Global office, the local reps have stated that:

Nokia Finland sent out a news release today regarding a software update for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. However, this particular update will not yet work for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic devices sold in the Philippines.

And though they did not say why, it could be one of several things — it’s specific to a region or carrier or the bug fixes included were for models with different chip components (remember the news last month that Nokia was replacing the defective speakers?).

There’s no specific date when the Nokia 5800 for the Philippines will get its firmware update. I personally am waiting for it since last month. I am not also sure what will happen if you still opt to use that update for your phone. If you bought your handset outside the country, like Hong Kong for example, it may not also apply.

  14. tekno says:

  15. joan says:

    actually, i wrote a blog about the v40 upgrade http://marcomjsantos.blogspot.com/2010/01/void-your-nokia-5800-warranty-but-you.html

    you WILL void your warranty. however, NOT ALL nokia centers check the product code of the phone so meron talagang nakakalusot.

    i have v40. i changed my product code to 0591826 because my phone is the gray 5800.

    i am truly happy with my 5800 now.
