Software for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Updated

Nokia's most recent touchscreen mobile, the 5800 XpressMusic, has received its second system software update. This is more significant than the v11 update that appeared some weeks ago, and adds bug fixes in addition to some new features.

Some of the items in firmware v20.0.012 include:

• Native geo-tagging of photos
• Ability to select plug-ins on the Active Standby screen
• Enhancements to touch sensitivity
• Faster screen rotation
• New icons
• and more.

How to Update

The 5800 XpressMusic can be updated by connecting it to a Windows XP or Vista PC, then running the Nokia Software Updater program. Because this is a major update, backing up all phone data to a memory card and/or the PC  is recommended before proceeding.

This smartphone also features the ability to be updated over-the-air (OTA). By dialing #0000# from the Active Standby screen, there is an options menu that will enable the ability to check for updates, and then install them right to the device. In this case, no previous personal data is removed from the device, only the updates are added
