Hi mates. .
I got this beauty yesterday and i'm loving it so far. The only problem i found is that when ever i try to use Headset i get sound(very loud and clear actually) coming out from only one speaker and almost zero from the other one. Is there something wrong with my headset or does it come as it is?
I have also heard that this is a surround sound headset due to which i'm getting such kind of effect. Is it true or what???
What do i do now to get rid of this headache? :(

Please please post your answers soon... thanks

        Hi Nuwan...
        I like this Phone and going to buy one.. I watched in many websites about this phone and found that user comments are not very bad.. I watched plenty of videos in youtube about this phone..
        I have a one problem. This phone has 2.9 inch display. will that b a problem for a touch screen? Is it Large enough? Bcoz both Nokia 5800 and 5230 has 3.2 inch display.. Plz reply anybody who uses this phone..
        Thanx in advance

          OK i just got the phone yesterday, i'll give a quick 1st day impression:

          1. This phone has great sound quality using headphones but is a bit short on loudness.

          My previous phone a Nokia 5220 is actually louder when using headphones, a 100% volume 5530 is equal to 90-95% volume on 5220.

          In the end though, 5530 has a much much much cleaner and better overall sound though.


          2. The touch screen is actually responsive, but there are a few quirks here and there, like the thin scroll bar that is hard to use sometimes; The accelerometer sometimes gets too sensitive and rotates the screen.

          3. The task manager kind of sucks cause you cant close an application on it, you can only use it to switch from the open applications.

          4. The browser is actually nice, almost as fast as Opera Mini but has way more features.

          5. WIFI is a nice addition but regarding the GPRS, i'm getting a "packet data" error massage and i can't get it to work, but it works on my previous phone out of the box after i just put my sim card in it.

          6. The camera is not too bad but not that good either, if you want to get a decent pic, you need to actually use the settings and not just put it in automatic like most users do.

          7. Regarding build quality, you guys were right the back cover is kinda whack, but better than i expected and the glossy finish is a finger print magnet (the white model doesnt have this problem) thats about my only complaint though. It's pretty well built in my opinion. It's actually kind of heavy as it was a light phone like the 5220.

          Overall its a nice phone, just like what i expected, i choose this phone over the 5800 because of the size and i didnt really need 3g and gps.

                Hi all!

                I have bought an Nokia 5530 and its sound quality is very poor either with or without headset during VoIP calls.

                Anyone can help in this regard?

                Thanks in advance!!!

                      To Sarah go to Settings then Phone then Display et voila choose Font Size Large,this will also change Menu cause it will have bigger size onscreen.Enjoy this lovely phone especially if u have white with pink etching on back.

                          To anonymous your phone is flashing due to breathinglight on or u have message.U can turn off breathing light by going 2 Settings&follow prompt.It is a very nice phone&u have 2 get the hang of using its touchscreen especially answering calls.
