Very well designed device, Responsive UI, Audio player is great
Double-tap access features must go, No GPS
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...
No 3G, No GPS, Questionable Build Quality, Inconsistent Touch UI
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...
Slim and light design, good display quality, excellent audio quality, decent camera quality (daylight)
Clunky interface design, resistive touchscreen response not up to the mark, poor display visibility under sunlight, no 3G and GPS, no dedicated music keys
We had previewed the Nokia 5530 a couple of months ago at the Nokia Music Store launch event in Mumbai. Our first impressions were generally positive and we liked the improved interface over the 5800 XpressMusic and the thinner and lighter form factor....

Abstract: 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...
multimedia playback, Surprisingly responsive display for a resistive screen, WiFi is an unexpected feature at this price point
In 2009, we don’t want to see a stylus making an appearance!, Small screen makes it harder to use more advanced applications, Web browser disappoints it desperately needs the improved version coming to the N97
The 5530 offers more features than the target market probably wants, and the small display size makes some features hard to use - but the high resolution means video playback is impressive. Coupled with a decent music player and expandable memory, yo...
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price ...
