Thanks to AllAboutSymbian, we’ve come to know that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic just got a firmware update to version 40.0.005 . Its previous firmware was 31.0.101.
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 certain Asian & European 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 official changelog yet, but we’ll post one if we do come across one. So far reports are coming in about Kinetic Scrolling, New “Contacts Bar”, Automatic change to QWERTY Keyboard Rotation (on text input menus), integrated Ovi Contacts and a more Responsive UI overall. No doubt there are a lot of stability and bug fixes included in the update too.
Have a Nokia 5800 ? Found anything new in the update that we might have missed ? Do let us know in the comments y’all !

One other change users may have issues with is picking calls or stopping/snoozing alarms while phone is locked. You swipe in the direction of the arrows, you don't touch. Users take note.
Thanks.
Removed the alphanumeric keypad in landscape version, now when we turned the phone alphanumeric portrait changes to full qwerty.
That'll do :)
