Nokia and Adobe are now offering Flash Lite 3.1 for S60 5th Edition. Owners of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can upgrade their Flash Lite player to version 3.1 from the “App update” utility. It’s a 700k download and installs without even needing a restart, which is pretty cool. Once installed, Flash performance is improved. Also, the Nokia Messaging Client has moved from beta status to a full release for S60 5th Edition. Of course, changes for the new release include bug fixes and more language support. Nokia also said that it is working to bring homescreen integration and support for HTML email to the next version of Nokia Messaging.

*Improved Web Browsing, 91% of top 500 internet sites.
*Flash 9 (AS2 only) support
*Local Connection / HTML Text / GetURL_target / CSS support / WMode
