Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gets America-flavored firmware update

It's not going to turn as many heads as the recently-launched N97 update, but Nokia's other S60 5th Edition handset got its own firmware boost earlier this week. Version 21.2.025 for the NAM 5800 XpressMusic doesn't seem to do much in the way of new features, so odds are this is going out strictly as a stability release -- which, in itself, is a testament to the fact that Nokia seems to care more about the North American market right now than it ever has before. Keep it coming, guys.[Via Symbian-Guru]

I really am enjoying these firmware updates. I'm so glad that Nokia is not 'neglecting' the NAM counterparts as much as other people claim they have. I for one, have not seen it yet (nor do I care to see or hear about anyways).

While I appreciate not being neglected, it's still highly annoying that in this day and age, the world's biggest phone manufacturer (a European company at that) can't be bothered with providing an firmware update route that doesn't require Windows. Mac/Linux users are left in the lurch.
And where's the over-the-air update option for North America, Nokia? The functionality is there, but Nokia hasn't enabled it for some reason.
I still think of Nokia support as being a mixed bag at best.

only major change is speed increase. there is a rumored firmware down the road though. the source is vague though.

I sure hope the next firmware adds EAP TTLS-PAP, so I can finally connect to my University's wi-fi...T_T
