                  i can read books on the 5530 using the ereader and mobipocket.
                  this phone is very good for the price.

                  enjoy what you have, for the human desire for gadgets is limitless.

                    The BASS on the equalizer is really good for me.
                    Now, I can finally say goodbye to the MegaBass of Sony Ericsson.
                    I tell you, I find the BASS really fine.

                      Solutions to 5530 issues:

                      1. Always bring your charger if you plan to use the wi-fi to browse the Net in coffeeshops, or you plan to use the external phone speakers for a long time or you watch videos. These three main features and bluetooth always on suck up a lot of energy.

                      2. Use SETTINGS to put all your files in the Memory Card to keep the phone memory free. This will help to minimize the slowdown or "hang" we all experience.

                      3. As to phone design, nothing beats a candybar phone like this one. A slider phone, sooner or later will have problems with the sliding mechanism, and this can be quite expensive to repair. No moving parts, no problems later.

                      4. This is a good phone for me. If you wish to be contented, do not look for what is not present in this phone, but rather enjoy the features it has. If you want a music phone or ipod, buy this instead. Remember, you cannot change the memory in the ipod or itouch when these become corrupted later in life. You can always change the card on the 5530. You cannot change the battery on the ipod or itouch, but you can always do so on the 5530. And you can make calls too.

                                    I have the 5530.
                                    So far, I'm quite satisfied. I ignore what the phone is not capable of doing due to its specifications. I celebrate the experience of what it gives me.
                                    To preserve battery life, I go offline. I'm very happy with this OFFLINE don't disturb me feature when I'm driving.
                                    I switch off bluetooth.
                                    As a Music Phone, it is awesome.
                                    No more Itouch for me. I will load up a 32gb microSD card once the price for this capacity goes down to acceptable levels. I'm now using an 8gb card from my E63.
                                    I like the capability of changing the tags on my songs. The Ipod cannot do this without the Itunes on your PC. This is very convenient. I love it.

                                    Count your blessings, enjoy and accept the 5530 as it is and what it should be in your mind, and you will know peace, contentment and constant happiness, until the next gadget comes along.

                                        I bought myself one of these about a month ago. Really easy to use and one of the best Nokia Touch screens I have used.

                                        However, it has the worst crappiest battery life ever. I literally keep it plugged in if i am to use it at all! Even if am not playing music and not talking it wont go past 2 hours of standby time.

                                        In short, don't buy this phone. It is a rip-off...
