b, 01 Apr 2010Thank you Nuwan . Does it have the 5530 size for resizing... moreDear b,

No... It doesn't have pre-defined 5800 settings... (Though it has i-phone settings) However it won't be a big problem when you get familiar with the program.. Always use "MPEG-4 (FFmpeg)" video Codec instead of "H.264" which does not really work with either Nokia 5800 or 5530.. And always put *.mp4 as your out put extension instead the default extension..

Other things you can trial and see by yourself... It's not a very simple & user friendly software... But it's a comprehensive application which we can't really have for free...! (Our respect goes to the kind hearted developers...)

    Dear all friends,

    I checked my Bluetooth GPS receiver attached with Nokia 5530 and the pair works perfectly...! The GPS receiver only cost me 45 US dollars and it's certainly better than the in-built GPS receivers...

    For an example Nokia 5800 only can track maximum of 10 channels simultaneousely...
    Source:http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews
    (Scroll down please)
    But a normal Bluetooth GPS receiver can track 32 to 65 channels...
    (My Bluetooth GPS description says it can track up to 65 channels but I could only see 32 slots in my mobile under satellite signal condition..)

    Well.. Now here is the performance of Bluetooth GPS I've got..
    It connects pretty fast and show the location with the accuracy of 2 to 20 m... (Depends on the signal strength..) And often finds 8-10 channels and refreshes once in a second... So I find it very impressive...

    It works with Nokia OVI maps, Google Maps (very very cool...!) within a matter of seconds...

    So I strongly recommend you too have a Bluetooth GPS ONLY if you really miss GPS in your mobile...

    Please ask any question if you want to know more about this... OR please correct me if I've given wrong information here...

        I always use 'Handbrake' (Freeware video converter) for converting Music Videos for my Nokia 5530 mobile... If you're aware of certain things about video encoding, resolution etc... Then that software will be a treasure... Lot of customization, so many options etc are available.. After all, it's a free ware (Which was one of the TOP 5 FREEWARE announced by CNET reviews..) and the only one COMPLETE FREEWARE I know as a video converter..

                  @jay and other guy: you need to set the GMT time settings to (f you in india then GMT setting)+5:30 and keep the daylight savings to + 0 hours
                  and keep auto update of time to "off"

                  it will work.. !!!!

                        It supports Nokia OVI maps.
                        The only problem Im experiencing now is that the clock seems to be always on the go. Yesterday it was 20 mins advance now its 30 mins. Weird.

                          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Dear Amit Ahuja,

                          I visited to your link but didn't find Nokia 5235 that impressive... It's same as Nokia 5230 and I couldn't find a significant difference between them except the internal storage capacity & the name itself...! So why you wait for 5235, you can still buy 5230 which already has got GPS and a high quality Music out put as an extra gift...!

                          BUT...

                          The form factor of both 5230 and 5235 are same...! and that's what makes Nokia 5530 Xpress Music unique in design...!

                          All below Nokia touch mobiles have the same form factor... (Which is 111 X 51.7 X 15.5 in mm - 83 CC)

                          Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
                          Nokia 5230
                          Nokia 5235
                          Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition
                          Nokia 5233 (Only for India)

                          Note: 5230, 5233, 5235 are not belonged to Music Xpress family even... (That's strange but don't know why...)

                          But Nokia 5530 Xpress Music has a UNIQUE form factor... Which is 104 X 49 X 13 in mm. (68 CC)

                          And the increase in size (in 5800 form factor compared to 5530 form factor) as a percentage is nearly 20 percent... That means any of above 5800, 5230, 5235 Nokias are bigger than 5530 by 20 %...!

                          I find this matter as the most stunning difference between Nokia 5530 and the rest of touch screen family of Nokia... Because 5530 is so tiny, so cute and so sexy in all aspects...! after all it's the ONLY phone which has that design... (The caption of the GSMarena review also it says "Winner by design" regarding 5530...) And I don't have to mention about the 'Stainless steel' finish of 5530 which easily overcomes the (cheap looking) plastic made 5800, 5230 design...

                          Please note that this is my personal idea and I know there can be people who prefer bigger phones but for sure I'm not one of them...

                            I'm also still in Firmware version 20... I don't think there will be a firmware update as this firmware is pretty solid... Very few bugs and those are negligible I suppose...

                              cyber-shot under dog, 30 Mar 2010but too bad 5530 doesn't support Nokia's Ovi MapsDear Cyber-shot under dog,

                              Hei... Who told you Nokia 5530 doesn't support OVI maps...? I have OVI maps right here in my mobile and I downloaded whole Global map (which of course was about 5 GB total in capacity) with all the details...! (That download is available in www.dotsis.com) However I've still got 4 GB card so I'm not going to copy whole map to it as it's not really possible... (and it'll slow the system down too...)

                              I only copied Asian maps where I belong, and it works like a charm... Each and every junction, fuel stations etc are there with details... (Though for Sri Lanka Nokia OVI maps still under development...)

                              Only shortcoming is, this mobile doesn't have in-built GPS so we'll have to buy a separate one... I did so and let you guys know what is the out come...
