The Nokia 5800XM is the third consecutive device to get a new firmware this week, but this time the firmware brings many new features to the Nokia device, some of which includes:

- Kinetic Scrolling
- New Home “Contacts Bar”
- QWERTY Keyboard Auto Rotation (on text input screens)
- Removed Download! (Ovi Store still available)
- Replaced “Update Application” with “SW Update” as on the Nokia N97
- Ovi Contacts
- More Responsive UI

The new firmware v40.0.005 can be installed by typing *#0000# from the dialer and then selecting ‘check for updates.’ If it is not available over-the-air, you can update via the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) or Ovi Suite on your PC. The new update should be available right now for most product codes, and even though the 5800XM supports User Data Preservation (UDP), we still recommend you make a full back up before updating your device.
