If it is then go to step 2 directly. Else, you need to change the product code of your phone. Don’t worry its very simple and the guide can be found here. Change the product code to something close to yours.

For example, the product code of my mobile was 0575590 which wasn’t listed there and hence i changed the product code to 0559673 since the phone belongs to India.

Step 2: Download the Nokia Software Updater. For some “God alone knows” reason, i wasn’t able to update the firmware using the Ovi suite.

Windows XP, Vista users download: Nokia Software Updater Setup EN

Windows 7 users download this: Nokia Software Updater Setup 2.4.3 BETA EN

Step 3: Rest of the process is very simple. After installing Nokia Software Updater, just launch it and connect the the Mobile using USB and the updater will identify your device and updates the firmware to v40.0.005

if it is not showing the latest update as v40.0.005, then that means you didnot change the product code to one list above.

Once the update starts, you will see the following screens.
As you can see in the above Screenshot, the update is 127.3MB.

4. Your 5800 XpressMusic will restart a couple of times and then..Voila! Your phone is updated and you can enjoy the Kinetic Scrolling and the improved touch sensitivity!
