The 5800 and 5530 get firmware updates

Published by at

Both the Nokia 5800 and 5530 just got over the air firmware updates, to v51.0.066 and v31.0.005 respectively. Both phones have full User Data Preservation, of course (as have almost all other Symbian-powered phones since the end of 2008), but the usual backups 'just in case' wouldn't go amiss. Check for the updates for your phone using *#0000# on the homescreen and then 'check for updates'. Improvements include browser and music player updates, plus the usual minor bug fixes.

Before updating, the 5530 Web browser user agent information read as "BrowserNG/7.2.3". After applying the firmware update, this now reads as "BrowserNG/7.2.5.2"

As usual, if your phone is network-locked or branded then the update may take a few weeks or months to come through.
