The Nokia 5530 is an affordable touchscreen phone which features a 2.9-inch resistive screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash and access to Nokia's Ovi Store, where you can download a host of apps, wallpapers and ringtones.What we likeNokia phone...

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a decent music phone, but it's definitely not an all-singing multimedia device. We really didn't like using the stylus and the lack of 3G means browsing the Web on the go isn't great. But if you don't mind using the stylus...

Nokia’s entry into the touch screen market was much hyped, but the initial device i.e. the 5800 XpressMusic failed to live to the expectations in more than one way. Post the 5800, Nokia incorporated touch screen into the N series and even came ou...

The 5530 XpressMusic has been a bit of a mystery. Although it’s been out there for a while now, it’s a bit elusive when it comes to being on the shelves. There are very few places that carry the handset and I don’t see why. But here's a closer look at...

ConnectivityOther than 3G, the 5530 is loaded with all other forms of mobile connectivity. EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi connectivity is available for web access. Nokia’s native browser is still as versatile as ever and well designed enough for comfortable br...

A smaller, cheaper version of the first Nokia touch-screen mobile phone, the 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia's 5530 XpressMusic lacks 3G connectivity and GPS. A more compact design and a competitive price tag are the main differences with its bigger brother.Fe...

You can purchase a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic in the market nowadays for Rs. 12,000. Since it is a cut down version of the 5800 XpressMusic, we expected a modest feature-set but the lack of GPS and 3G still stands out. Although the UI has been improved, t...

This - this is the point at which what Nokia in general (and OPK in particular) have been saying about Symbian OS taking over (from Series 40) in the mid-tier in the phone market comes home to roost. What we have here is a full-touchscreen S60 5th Edi...

The XpressMusic line of Nokia phones has been a huge success. The 5800, or tube, which trumps the 5530 with 3G is also going for less than $300, but is bulkier, less attractive, and seems to have a less sensitive screen. Not to mention that the 5530 h...

great looks; 3.2 MP auto-focus cam; MMS; Wi-Fi; Bluetooth, FM radio; accelerometer; proximity sensor; resistive touch screen is pretty sensitive; under $300; cool new home screen; a great little media player.

no 3G; although adjusted for touch screen use, Symbian S60 still doesnt feel like a touch OS; on-screen keyboard is inconsistent and unpredictable.

Nokias XpressMusic phones are a big success, and for good reason. The Symbian S60 operating system still needs a few tweaks to feel like a true touch screen OS, but Nokia has made headway in this arena. Future updates are likely to address the key co...

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic certainly seems both well reasoned and reasonable. It is a clear attempt to bring the S60 5th edition to the hands of a larger audience, which in turn should motivate a bigger developer community, which in turn will make the...

Like we've been saying, it's always better late than never. When Nokia introduced the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic as the first device utilizing the Symbian S60 V5.0 touch OS, it did generate a spark of interest, but not as much as the Nokia N97 that was ann...
