Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Review
27 August 2009
| Avg user rating:
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a slick looking handset with a vibrant touch-screen display, it fits comfortably in the hand.
The responsive touch-screen worked well and it was nice to have the option of a stylus. The 2.9-inch display is perhaps a little small for lengthy web browsing.
The 5530 is a music phone (the clue’s in the name) so the 3.5mm headset port is an important feature, as are the on-board speakers. The 3.2-megapixel camera left a little to be desired and we would have liked to have seen 3G, but the omission of these makes it a far more affordable handset.
A lack of 3G meant internet browsing was slow, and the relatively small touch-screen hindered the process further. Its music capabilities were good though.
Battery performance was very good.
If you’re after a mid-range handset and music is a key factor that you look for, then you could do a lot worse than the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.
Pros: Great look and sound, bright screen and innovative interface.
Cons: Quirky touch interface and lack of features such as 3G and GPS.

Verdict: Despite the omission of 3G, this phone still squeezes a lot into a small, cool-looking package.

5530its a lovely phone for a great price, and evn better if its unlocked. http://www.puremobile.co.uk/Nokia/Nokia-5530-XpressMusic-Red-on-Black-GSM-Phone/
The 5800 remains the fantastic affordable all rounderThis device is clearly a great proposition and indeed it is a direct alternative to a dedicated music player, never mind the other handsets on the market currently on offer. However, until its price is half that of its elder 5800 Xpress counterpart, it is the latter which remains the outstandingly excellent value and all round choice on the market, with its 3G, aGPS, VGA recording, memory package, TV out, fabulous display, etc.
