Finally the wait is ABOUT to get over but the date is not yet released and the rumour of nokia 5800 xpress music getting a new firmware update is believed to be true and new version will be like v. 40.0.001 and the update will have the most awaited feature in 5800 that is KINETIC SCROLLING!!! but there is no clue yet about the new home page to have contacts bar that can hold more than 4 contacts.

Eldar Murtazin's Tweets

Eldar Murtazain is the main guy behind mobile-review.com and whatever he says is just alot more than rumours. So we can believe him to an extend for what he says than any other rumour.

He has posted Several tweets about nokia 5800 getting new firmware which he has tested and they are below:

Next FW for 5800 4.10 wont add kinetic scrolling. I think that Nokia wont implement this feature on 5800. Ahhh

eldarmurtazin 

  

5800 4.1 update, some clarification. I have still beta version without widgets, kinetic scrolling.In 1st versions it was.No sign now.

eldarmurtazin 

  

Lol, just received FW 4.1 (1) with widgets; latest 4.1 (5) without widgets :(

eldarmurtazin 

  

Finally. 5810 04.1 will have kinetic scrolling but no widgets like N97. FW is like 5530 and other products of last time. 2-4 weeks to go

one correct 5810 is just a typing mistake he mean 5800 only.

So these were the points which prove that nokia 5800 xpress music WILL get a firmware update.

The James Bond Trick To Listen Others Conversation On Mobile Phone

If you short-circuit the left middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all

connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile "Headset"

will be activated. Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer" in the

headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you can use your phone

for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table

in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen

to what people are saying!

 How To Network Monitor From Mobile

There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you'll

have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.

Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.

Take apart the phone.

De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64)

Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup)

If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8" from "00" to "FF"

If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from "00" to "FF"

Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone

Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor" enabled.

The Network Monitor gives you the following information:

Carrier number, MS RX Level in DBM, Received signal quality, MS TX power

level, C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99

to 99, RTL (Radio link timeout), Timeslot, Indication of the transmitter status,

Information on the Network parameters, TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber

Identity), Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used), MCC (Mobile

country code), MCN (Mobile network code), LAC (Location area code), Ciphering

(On/Off), Hopping (On/Off), DTX (On/Off), Discard cell barred information.

How To Stop Sim Clock For Saving Battery

*#746025625#

[*#sim0clock#]

Checks if the sim clock can be stopped. Sim clock stop is a kind of stand-by

mode which will save battery time. This code doesn't work with software

version 4.59.

It will tell you if it can be stopped or not.

How To Check Warranty Menu On Nokia

*#92702689# takes you to a secret menu with 6 choices:

[*#war0anty#]

1. Displays Serial Number.

2. Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture (0997).

3. Displays (if there) the date where the phone was purchased (MMYY).

4. Displays the date of the last repairment - if found (0000).

5. Makes you capable of transferring user data if you have the gear for it.

6. Shows how long the phone has been used to talk. This counter is not

reset by when you "clear timers" like the counters in the call register.

*** WARNING: Using secret codes may be harmful to your phone and

result in disabling or worse. Use these codes at your own discretion, we

accept no responsiblility for blocked pones while using these codes!!!

Nokia's Marketting Strategy On Diversitfication Of Products Exposed

Nokia is one the largest mobile maker and has number of mobile phones in the market. The main back drop of Nokia is that it concentrates on bringing up new models neglecting loyalty to the existing models. Nokia can sell its product on the basis of one single feature. Most of the new Nokia phones have same hardware configuration and what changes is software version. Even in same software versions nokia reduces few features from one handset to another just to increase the sale of new handset rather than being loyal to privious model which the public has already purchased. For example Nokia 5800 Xpress music is one the largest selling phone in the market and instead of providing new features such as kinetic scrolling it gives this feature to new mobiles such as nokia 5530 which has less features than nokia 5800 xpress music but is more costlier. They just want to launch and sell new product rather than being loyal to old customer so that they shell out extra bugs on the new model leaving the old one offcourse you can earn more with new product rather than making an old one better.

In my opinion nokia should rather try to concentrate on making the existing device better rather than making new devices like apple.

Apple iphone is one the most successfull mobiles in the world which has greatly effected the mobile industry since the day of its launch from iphone 2G to iphone 3G and now iphone 3GS. what apple does is it try to make the same device bigger and better and the most important thing is that when ever it makes any software upgrade its device they do same to their already existing devices i.e. they always remain loyal to their existing customers. The recent software upgrade i.e. 3.1 OS for iphone has been upgraded to all its devices such as iphone 2g, iphone 3g and iphone 3gs already comes with 3.1 and the example of loyalty is that it has even upgraded its ipod touch to the new os.

Although certain features cannot to be added to old device because of hardware issue which is acceptable unlike nokia whose devices have same hardware components but they differ only in software features.

One thing nokia tries to do at its best is not to include all the features in one mobile and this is the thing on which apple concentrates and is successfull.

This strategy has made apple so succesfull that it is now one of the most leading mobile maker in the world.

Few examples of nokia's strategy are:

Nokia E71 which has all good features and lacks 3.5mm audio out.

Nokia 5800 Xpress music which lacks Kinetic Scrolling.

Nokia 5530 which has kinetic scrolling but lacks 3G.

All the High end Nokia phones has just 128 Mb of RAM.

All Nokia touch screens even the costlier ones has got resistive touch screen.

and the list goes on......

This is just my opinion other people can comment theirs................
