[PART 2] N900 Audio Test Vs 5800XM, Omnia HD and N95 8GB

Hi everybody, today i decided to grab a N95 8GB to test its speakers quality versus the N900's ones as requested by many readers after the Part 1 Audio test series.

This time, the actual devices speakers orientation isn't the same, the devices are oriented in a position when they should be used in a day to day use (as advertised !) to output the sound, all settings are the same, no sound effects, no equalizer, volume is set at the max, check it out :



Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions of things you would like to be tested with this Preview N900 handset then let me know ;)

The part three will include the headphones and TV Out sound quality, stay tuned ! ;)

Official 5800 firmware release has been confirmed (31.1.xxx) !?

It seems that the upcoming (Major?) 5800's firmware is on his way, as confirmed by some internal Nokia employee...here's the quote :

The new official 5800 release has been confirmed today. It is PR3.11 (31.1.xxx), and will be delivered in phases starting with Nokia language variants followed by country variants (such as UK) and operator/customer variants.

As this is a UK specific thread I might say that UK country variants are top on the list for both of these products. Hope you guys will enjoy the latest improvements as soon as they are ready for download via NSU or FOTA.

Let's hope it'll be the long awaited major firmware update...

Nokia 5800 v30.0.011 Firmware available OTA (Over The Air)

I just updated mine now OTA, it tooks me about 3 to 4min ;)

As usually the new firmware is available OTA, by pressing *#0000#, then choosing Options - Check for Updates, it's available for most of product codes...

As normal, while the 5800 features UDP (User Data Preservation), we recommend that you back up any critical data before you apply any firmware update, just in case.

Nokia 5800 latest firmware v30.0.011 : Stability release

A new stability release firmware for the 5800 XM, still not available from OTA update and also Nokia Software Updater but already available in Nokia Care, this is more a stability release than a new firmware with new features, so there's no advanced home screen or kinetic scrolling

According to some users that have updated their 5800 :

- Battery life increased a lot
- Sound quality and sound volume increased
- Faster phone and much more responsive
- More free ram
- Not Hackable
- Email in home screen

New Nokia 5800 XM firmware to make wishlist a reality !

Kinetic Scrolling, Enhanced Homescreen, Camera Improvements ! that's what a Nokia product manager confirms when it was asked about a new 5800's firmware update, there is one in testing stage, which will include kinetic scrolling (like the N97 and the upcoming 5530), enhanced homescreen (like the 5530 and not like the one found on the n97) , and better camera results.

But hey, They'd have to release the Nokia 5530 first before anything else, so don't expect this update to be released before that ^^
