v21 is not in the UK yet.

It's just a matter of being patient and keep checking. 

[jfhigham]

Will us UK users ever be able to update over the air?

[kimmokor]

Looks like the V21 has been pulled from OTA and not available in NSU either in some ares at least. My model is RM-356 currently running v21.0.025 see here for my other post.

[jehdesai]

No multiple selection of messages,its either mark or mark all ...and using "mark" for each msg is lengthy process...again here they shud use N series process...

Nokia just txted me to say there was new firmware.  Checked OTA and nothing there, but is available on NSU.  I'm in UK, on red handset from O2 but unbranded and unlocked phone.  Installed no problems.

Come on O2/UK nokia, this phone is doing my head in.......

Come on O2/UK nokia, this phone is doing my head in.......

I have a red unbranded 5800 bought thru the CPW on O2 and NSU is now letting me update to the new v21 firmware. It's maybe not released thru OTA yet?

[poirot]

NSU update is about 133MB and took only 5 minutes to install. Phone seems happy.

I know people complain about the amount of time between firmware updates, but I would rather companies took their time crafting properly working firmware and software. Too many slap things together and let the general public have 'fun' with poor updates.

This is my first Nokia phone in over 4 years and after two firmware updates I have to say I am impressed with the quality of the service and software so far. (fingers crossed as i type that one)

Sorry if this sounds be stupid but what do you mean when you talk about OTA and NSU?

[poirot]

Not a stupid question at all...

OTA is short for Over The Air where the phone itself contacts the Nokia servers, looks for a firmware update and installs one if found. All this without being connected to a computer.

NSU is short for Nokia Software Updater. This software runs on your PC and, while your phone is connected using the USB cable, looks online for a new software update and installs any it finds.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, both aren't working for me I ws hoping this update would sort out my home screen problem.....

[poirot]

Each phone has it's own sort of 'batch' number and it might be that 5800's in your 'batch' haven't had the firmware approved for them yet.

Is your phone from O2/carphonewarehouse and Red?

What homescreen problem do you have? Maybe we can help?

[poirot]

muserocks123. I found your post about the homescreen woes and have posted some possbile solutions in that thread.

ive just uploaded my firmware from v10 to the v21, as i had an email saying the firmware was available.

i uploaded it no problem, then once it was done, the phone was off, and i closed the NSU, now the phone wont switch on, when i press the power button, an the screen lights up [like a dark backlight], but nothing happens, does anyone have an idea? not impressed!

[bruc_]

I dont know why i can't update to this version. I have a NAM version and when i ckeck on the
Device Software Update page on Nokia and put my code number on, it says that for my code number the latest software update is version 20.2.014

[looneylv]

eddieyoshi

You are really f... Did you remove the device even when the NSU didnt say done? or you removed when it sayed done?

Dunno maybe hard reset may help or you can go to nokia support center and say as i was updating software.. bla bla bla.. they can help you 100% and will fix your problem in no time

bruc_

Then the v21 isn't yet in your country/ for your RM number the software isn't out yet...
