Anis, 21 Mar 2010Hi nuwan. I want to buy a touchscreen phone but i am confu... moreyou said youre a heavy internet user, i suggest go for 5530 it has wifi which you can access internet free of charge although 3g offers more speed but a bit expensive,the rest of the features are almost equal on this handsets music camera os cpu,for style and built quality 5530 wins on that..

      Anis, 21 Mar 2010Hi nuwan. I want to buy a touchscreen phone but i am confu... moreso you just want a touch screen phone but you don't care about wifi nor gps. . . well the 5230 can be better for you , due to the larger screen. Making it easier to use. It has exchangeable battery covers red,pink and blue, but sadly the body is just made out of pure plastic :C. But if you choose looks before functionality, well 5530 is better it has a stainless steel frame (as opposed to other Xpress music models) ,and it so compact really, almost like the LG arena. The pink and blue variety looks pretty good on this model, plus it comes with a 4gb micro sd (5230 comes only with 2gb).
      but in music terms the 5230 comes with a cheap below average earphones, while the 5530 comes with a moderate in-ear earphones (the one with the noise isolation,that looks like earplugz) plus the 5230 comes with a louder mono speakers, but the 5530 comes with a weaker stereo speakers (so the 5530 scores better in the loudspeaker output, due to cleaner tones and a surround sound, but the 5230 is also good given for its mono speakers) But it says here in www.gsmarena.com the 5230 makes up for one of the best music output (when I say music output it means: through earphones, exterior speakers not the built in speakers). Camera well the image quality in both phones are not that good,just average.
      Well that's it, that's all the difference between the 5530 and the 5230. While some parts of these phones are pretty much the same, like the UI and the form factor.
      So it's up to you. . .

Remember there are always alternatives to GPS such as google maps

              @FlatlandGeek - you can try a soft reset first, then if that wont work. try a hard reset.

              @Nuwan - do you know what's the difference between the OVI suite and the nokia PC suite? which one is much better to use? coz i think they both do the same thing. thanks...

                                  thank you for your reply. I actually read it on the Nokia website. i was comparing 5800 and 5530 and under speakerphone with 5800 it sed yes and under 5530 it was blank...so i thought maybe it doesn't have.
                                  But anyway what is teh main difference between the two phones. No doubt i like the 5530 better, but features-wise wat all is not there in 5530 that is a plus. Then i would think accordingly, coz the price difference is not much between the two.
                                  Thank you
