Update 1: This firmware is still not available via both FOTA and NSU methods. It seems that either it is a custom firmware or it is under beta testing and will be released within 1-2 days.
Update 2: I just checked again and found that new firmware 50.0.005 is available for my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic via NSU. There is no update available via OTA method.
Update 3: The firmware is now available via FOTA method. Finally I have updated my 5800 XpressMusic and found following changes (before formatting my phone) other than the above mentioned:
- Now keypad lock can be set in seconds. (I think this feature was not present in v40).
- Web page scrolling is more smooth.
- Web page display gets full screen after few seconds.
If anyone of you have updated to latest firmware, please share your experiences in the comments.
