Congratulations Nokia, it only took two and a half years to get something the iPhone had in 2007.

Maybe that was why Nokia sued Apple, Nokia wants to copy more of Apples features and needs the cross licensing.

                    Good job nokia ,we'll always depend on you for updates cause you don't lie
                    But WERE IS IT ON X5800
                    and why couldn't you make the n97mini with 256mb RAM and OpenGL on it..... Oh well good job once again and please stop making the NAM model phones wait for firmware updates it's really annoying
                    I had to changw my product code just to get v31.2.008 and i have the NAM model and to make it worse i'm from canada

                      YES! Finally, its about time!

                      The update is not available as of yet on my North American N97....it should be soon though. Its good to see Nokia taking car of this issue but in all honesty they took too long to do anything. I hope they dont make this mistake the next time.

                      Hm, i really should have waited to get the N900 though :(

                        I don't know how you haven't realised this yet, but this update is not coming for 5800, because otherwise how will they sell 5530, and X6? Buy 5530 if you really must have the kinetic thingy... It's still better than 5800, the screen is more responsive, it feels like a capacitative screen, even though is resistive...

                          Please dont comment unless its something positive about the new firmware. Who cares what your opinion is about the phone. Anyway for those with an N97, its currently NOT available for UK (Bast**ds!). Anyone with the following product codes can update:

                              Mr I.T, 27 Oct 2009im first!!!!Do grow up for goodness sake!

                              If you haven't got anything constructive to add to a discussion other than the pathetic & utterly childish "I'm first" drivel then be quiet!

                              Now, as for the phone, it's still a putrid bit of kit, which is expensive & bug ridden. Enough Said.
