The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic just got a firmware update to version 30.0.011 . Its previous firmware was 21.0.110.
The 5800 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.
The update has only come to Europe (France) Product codes at the time of posting, but no doubt it will be avilable across all regions and product codes soon.
Remember you can update using the 5800’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can download Nokia’s Software Updater application to update your 5800 on your windows PC.
There’s no actual changelog out yet, but we will update this post as soon as we find one. Apparently this update brings speed improvements, bug fixes and allows you to view your email on the Homescreen.
(Sorry y’all, no Widget Homescreen yet though).

tnx for sharing.. ihope that your phone will go back to normal.
Recently I updated my xm5800 to fimware 31.0.011. God knows what they have done to the new firmware but no changes is noticeable at all except some funtionality is destroyed. It was much better off with original firmware that came with the phone itself. If anyone is thinking of fiddling around with your xm 5800, my advice is leave it as it came b4 you experience any unwanted behaviour with your phone. Mine had problem with the tv out thingi,,,,,that it would'nt work any more..no picture displays but only the sound. And the lot sample music that came along with the phone (as dcf of drm file) aren't playable no more. Its not worth updating....cheers

I have updated to this version and the battery life is now nothing short of shocking. Full charge at 13:00 yesterday. 35 mins talk time and 20ish texts later the phone was dead by 6am (when my alarm is supposed to go off). Also there is a known bug that the alarm goes of 8 mins later than the time you set. The quality control man was clearly on holiday for this update!!!! Poor work Nokia. First time you have dissapointed me in 10 yrs!
