Anonymous, 26 Feb 2010i have a query on its weight. The specs in the GSM arena sa... moreread the review, it is not 100% reliable but the weight of the 5530 doesn't have any huge difference, compared to the 5800 so it's true,I held both phones myself

        sujith, 27 Feb 2010hi nuwan , cybershot nd luisito i hav a question fr u budd... morewell, for now. . it is yet unclear (due to symbian^2 has been dropped) that was too bad though. .. But by the way, Symbian^3 coming to our devices is 80% impossible due to limitations in hardware, we might even need higher cpu's. . get the point? But let's just hope and pray we'll get the update. .

              first of all, I got this phone for 11,300 pesos, about, 240$. It's a great deal for a tocuhscreen symbian phone, with Wi-Fi.

              I've had this phone for about a week, this is what I have to say:

              Pros:

              touch screen is responsive for a resistive and more responsive than 5800

              wi-fi is easy to operate, just download opera mobile for better browsing

              3rd party apps and games, more than welcome, tip- when downloading java games, make sure you include the resolution 360x640 which is the resolution of the phone

              speaker is loud and clear, but could have been louder and a little beefier

              sound quality is top notch, buy nice in ears like creative or samsung, the one in the box is not that nice

              easy to operate

              camera video quality is 30fps which sounds nice but crap quality in low light, even with cam light

              clear screen, clearer than iphone

              texting is a breeze with mulitap, qwerty,not so much

              calling is no problem, their loud and acceptable clarity

              Cons:


              kinetic scrolling on music player sorta lags when headset is plugged in

              crappy video quality in low light

              the screen is kind of delicate and may be prone to finger prints and scratches

              small font in some apps are extremely annoying and makes you wanna take the stylus and use it, which i hate

              accelerometer is annoying at some time, you can turn it off but i need it only in some instances

              needs a nice video player, realplayer should just die. i hope coreplayer releases their version for s60v5

              build quality is not bad but its not so good either, my phones back cover wobbles, i put paper, then its all good

              i can recommend this phone, but i should warn you if you were already used to use capacitive touch screens that this phone gives a totally diffrent feel and needs a little more pressure.

              if you have any questions, just ask me here. take care

                I think it must be some other model (as u said) which has been taken back by Nokia Distributors.

                      guys..guys....nomatter what u r comparing. nokia's products have its own specification depend on the price. higher price u can pay, higher facilities u can get.but, nokia 5530 is worth it for 2 million in indonesia.never compare it with 5580 with 2,8 million in price.of course it's big different.

                              i feel its no point spending money on this as better nokia phones like 5230 &5233 r available at a resonable cost with advance features......

                                I live in India (Chennai). Just had a fear that the phone has software defect.


                                But now with your's and Nuwan's reply, I would go for this model

                                  I stay in India (Chennai), and i asked the nearest dealer about it, he said his full 5530 stock is taken back by the distributor.

                                    This may sound silly since I'm new to this model. But I'm having such a hard time configuring what did i do wrong with my unit.

                                    Im using a macbook on this one and the CD installer wont fit my cd reader.
                                    So i decided to use a card reader to transfer the pictures and some music. Thing is, after some time the gallery would hang up on me. I tried upgrading my unit with *#0000# and downloaded the ver.20 of it but it made it hang up more and I ended up restarting the phone.

                                    Im really frustrated with it. What should I do to remove the hanging of my gallery?
