It would be nice to say Nokia's XpressMusic line of music oriented phones has enjoyed steady improvement since being introduced in 2006 but, to be frank, it's gone in all sorts of odd directions over the years with some handsets being more successful than...

The XpressMusic lineup is fired up and coming after you with all theyve got - from QWERTY smartphones to touchscreens. In fact, with the arrival of 5530 XpressMusic, the Nokia music line has more touch phones than the Nseries. We told you, theyre dea...

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...

In the XpressMusic range, we’ve already had the 5610 slide-up and the 5800 touch. The 5530 is a lighter version of the 5800. No 3G and a slightly shortened screen. Is it just a 5800 without the good bits then, or is it a relatively low-priced phone wit...

Nokia’s touchscreen user interface has not had many outings. We’ve seen it before in the original Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and in the much more highbrow, Qwerty keyboard toting N97. Now we have a third appearance in the shape of another XpressMusic hands...

There are some compromises on features to get to the price, including a screen which borders on being too small for a touchscreen, the absence of 3G and GPS, lacklustre battery life and a mediocre camera. If you are on a budget and want to try the tou...

Whether the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has what it takes to steal the 5800’s crown remains to be seen. But as an affordable touch-screen with excellent music capabilities, it’s definitely one to consider. In a nutshell, this is a phone aimed at being c...

Great look and sound, bright screen and innovative interface.

Quirky touch interface and lack of features such as 3G and GPS.

Touchscreen tech on a budget Nokia has announced its latest touchscreen offering, the 5530 XpressMusic, following in the footsteps of the Nokia N97 and the 5800 XpressMusic. However this time round it’s shaved a considerable amount off the price tag...

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is likely to be the budget hit of 2009. The screen quality and media options are plentiful, and while we would have loved to see 3G on board, the battery life saving is a real boon. Overall, we like a lot...

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.Our review unit of the 5530 XpressMusic was an international model, but it should be almost identical to the Australian version. We'll update our review with any additional information once the official Australian model is released.The Nokia 5530...

A smaller, more compact version of the 5800, Nokia’s 5530 XpressMusic is a very similar handset to its bigger brother, though it lacks GPS and 3G connectivity. While we prefer the smaller design, build quality is again questionable...

The Nokia 5800 ‘Tube’ marked a turning point for Nokia’s music strategy, which ultimately evolved into the new Xseries range - and the all singing, all dancing X6 coming soon.But, there’s still life in the XpressMusic range yet - and while the X6 takes...

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...
