I was planning to buy Nokia 5800XM, and I wanted to know whats the frequency of firmware updates?
As from the above post it seems even new phone doesn't comes with new firmware.
Also I am on limited bandwidth internet connection, this means too frequent visits to Nokia Care..????
[ offtopic : I am afraid because in my city the guys at Nokia Care are pathetic, they take atleast two days for minor problem, they always flash the phone even when there is no need to do so, return the phone in bad condition ie scratched and whenever I visited Nokia Care I see almost all people dissatisfied with delays and quality of work and quarreling and telling to complaining at consumer forum(I do not yet own a Nokia fone but most of my friends does and I mostly accompany them to Nokia Care) ]

if you do ota ( over the air ) update v31 is around 4mb download . You'll need a wifi or data connection though. Its very very easy and hassle free . Just press *#0000# , click update and leave the phone for few minutes(~ 8 to 10 on good edge) to download and install the update.
Btw , you should do a hard reset after updating to fully enjoy difference.

The set i got was manufactured in February. Still it had v21 which was released in April. v30 is released on Sunday, so it cant be possible for them to release every manufactured handset with the very latest firmware.
There is no exact firmware release frequency, but we see/expect a new firmware every 4/5/6 month..
Updating the firmware from Nokia Care shouldnt take more than 20/30 minutes. They do it hand-to-hand, no need to leave the phone there. No Need to be afraid.

oh yea, v30 is out.I got it too this past sunday..
It was released within hours when I upgraded my fone to v21 even exceeding my bandwidth limit by 140MB in the process. How big is the v31 though? Is it ~120MB? or 4MB like Tamoghno says.
What I get from his post is that, 4MB is only when we update through mobile. Secondly, my new fone was also manufactured in Feb, but it came with v10.

I updated it OTA, was only 4.8MB.. People have been reporting, its of enormous size when updating via NSU..
Also the NSU update is not available here still.(not sure) Only FOTA is available.sushantvirdi

Okay...as you all must have experienced that the pre loaded DRM songs with the .dcf extension stop playing after you perform a firmware upgrade/update to your Nokia 5800.
You have to take it to the Nokia Care to resolve the issue.
Here is a solution for it...
Download this file: *www.megaupload.com/?d=EIWQOFO6
It contains the activation keys for those songs. Extract the archive and copy every file (except the PDF document) to the IMPORT folder in your memory card.
Now you'll have to perform a Hard Reset/Restore factory defaults using *#7370#. So, do take a back-up and perform the reset.
Now when you'll open the Music player for the first time after the reset, it will search for the Songs & Podcasts and automatically activate the .dcf songs using the keys you had copied in the IMPORT folder of your memory card. And the fone will be able to play the pre-loaded songs.
