just select the 'contacts bar' homescreen theme (settings > personal > home screen > home screen theme). the widget will be there as long as the music player is running.

I have successfully updated mine to v40.0.005 of 29.12.2009. The features are almost the same but Ovi Contacts, Maps etc are very nice. Can anyone tell me that is it possible to read MS Documents in it?

hell boy
plug any headphones(3.5mm) not those bundled with the phone, and see the options that would come up on the screen, if there is an option for tv out in the list then ur phone has tv out functionality otherwise not.
I have the same product code and since the update wasnt available , i switched to 0559476 which is APAC1 Red ... It does have the TV Out support .. I verified ... So go for it ... if i am not wrong all the APAC1 , EURO1 etc are for the TV out models etc ... APAC2 etc are for the newer variant and hence updating to that would make you lose ur tv out functionality (unless u change ur product code again and flash it)

I upgraded mine using 0559673: APAC2 India RED
.Now I understand why my phone is restarting every now and then. Should switch back to some other APAC Product code and update again I guess
.But the whole bunch of changes are quite handy,like syncing contacts,todo & notes via Ovi online and a 10GB space to backup your stuff online from mobile itself via Wifi/Gprs.Touch response is super fast when compared to V20. Also the ability to sync your custom landmarks from mobile maps with ovi maps online is a nice feature,now I can just login to ovi maps on pc and see my custom landmarks without finding and marking them again. The whole Nokia+Ovi integration is superb

You have to change your phone's product code using flashing softwares like JAF or Nemesis. I prefer nemesis since it is less complicated.
Click here for a tutorial on how to change your phone's Product code. Hope that helps
Make sure that you select any APAC code not APAC2
@hluachawngthu
You have to install quick office for reading/editing MS docs and spreadsheets

From the tutorial its also says
" Changing the product code will void the warranty of your mobile and if something goes wrong you will brick your Mobile. The article is written just for information purpose and we at TechHail will not be responsible if you damaged your mobile. So use it at your own risk."
I called NOKIA CARE and asked them why the lastest V40 is not available for my phone ? They asked me to go the nearest care center.
I went there and just came back, they upgraded my firmware to V40 free of cost.
Interface is now better for the homescreen and tried OVI Maps. It only works when you are driving. Have to check the voice guidance. Will check it out soon.

Ofcourse any hack to any device voids warranty, but that doesn't stop us from hacking it right

That is what I'm asking buddy I guess Nokia care did the same,changed the product code and might have updated your phone to V40.
If not then they might be having v40 for old phones,but not released it yet!!!!!
Can you please post your product code now after update. you can use nemesis to check the product code I guess.
