      Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to get kinetic scrolling, widgets

      The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is getting a firmware update, which will introduce some new, quite welcome features - an enhanced homescreen, kinetic scrolling in some menus as well as improved camera performance and response time.

      The enhanced homescreen will be like the one on N97, with all its contacts bar and widgets goodness. The kinetic scrolling update however is only partial at this stage - it will be applicable in the homescreen, the Contacts list and the web browser. The update is surely more than welcome but we cannot help but feel that it will make the UI on the 5800 even more inconsistent.

      Imagine this - in some lists in the Nokia 5800, you use kinetic scrolling, in others - dragging, which requires a two taps to activate an item, and in icon-based menus use just one tap. Worse still - sweeping your finger upward in the Contacts bar will make the list scroll down, while in another menu that still uses the old dragging logic - it will scroll up.

      Another benefit of the upcoming firmware update would be the improved response time and camera performance. When this update will be available for the 5800 XpressMusic remains to be seen but it'll should be shortly after the launch of its younger sibling - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. According to the source the latter will come with all the new features straight out of the box.

                Love the phone. Got it cheap too (AU$350!), however I'm having a little problem. Can't seem to edit pictures. When I select an editing option it just returns to the preview of the picture. Any one else have this problem?

                      In reply to the guy that cannot send sms. I think what you should do is got to settings->personal->profiles->then select general. Hope that helps. The problem that I'm having with my 5800xm is that when I save mp3s/songs on the phone. some of them just DONT WORK! It really is frustrating. Will be very appreciated if someone could help me

First try contacting your operator and then if it still doesn't make an improvement go ahead and claim warranty.

                          Just try going to your text message settings and check whether your message center number is properly saved.
