      be careful updating your n900. many encountered problems after the 2nd firmware update. Some stalled during the update process and needed to be reflashed. Some have other software issues. make sure battery is full when doing the update. Source maemo.org forum talk.

        I just updated my 5800XM and noticed that i have problems with video clips playback (all clips transferred to the phone with Nokia PC Suite - so they are optimized for 5800XM). The playback is good for a few seconds and than the picture freezes while sound still goes on. Fast forwarding is in my case now mission impossible due to same freezing problem. Also, as i have video ringtone, since I updated the device my video ringtone is discontinued and video also freezes. I am sure that it is connected with that 2 new sliders (unlock, answer) which are by my opinion totally unnecessary complications of one simple and functional answering method (i wish i could turn off this sliders). :-) Regards!

          I've installed the update onto my Nokia 5800 and it works fine. The kinetic scrolling is very fast and responsive, and I'm glad to see the change in home screen which now can accomodate more info right on the spot. I've read some rumours that ovi updater doesn't work on Windows 7, thus show no update avail. for the phone. It can also be the case with simlocked phones with tricked software by mobile operators. I use this phone as a back up phone (Android HTC Hero being primary) but at this moment the 5800XM became the phone it should have been in the beginning, being dirt cheap compared with competition.

                        I tried to update but it says newest version is v31! I need the v40 UK version!

                        I think it's because my phone is from T-mobile and so T-mobile customised the firmware. So now I have to wait untill T-mob customise the newest v40 version.

                        Can someone describe how much more responsive the screen is? OK so it won't be iPhone like but how much better has it become from v31 firmware? thx

                                    cause they wanna feel "hip" and "instyle" so they waste money on their products not knowing what's the tom in the future
                                    and they end up trying to put people down that don't have any apple products cause they are deemed "rich" if they own an apple product but in retrospect they are actually cheap cause they can't pay for the phone full price and buy it on a 2-3 year term thinking that's the actual price of the phone XD
