    Dear Friends,

    Please read comments and posts here... We write these all for you.. I wrote "almost all the applications which support 5800 should support 5530 as well" few posts ago...
    Now this anonymous friend is asking whether this finger print application is only for 5800.. We don't have to say that it will surely work on 5530 too...
    Please for god's sake.. Have some common sense...!

            Dear myk,

            I'm sorry I can't help you on that because I'm from a different country... I'm from Sri Lanka... (That beautiful Paradise...!)

            However I can suggest you an ebay seller who sold me very good headsets which I'm still using without problem.. They are of course cheaper and performance is outstanding for that price...

            But I will not recommend online business for you if you're not aware of things...

              Dear csud mobile version,

              I have to agree with you BECAUSE I was a proud owner of Nokia 5220 Xpress Music before I bought this phone...!

              And now my mother using that phone... Just because I didn't want it to go away from my sight...! (Do you believe how much that tiny little phone served me...? More than 700 hours of talking within 1 year... No of music hours is numerous...!)

              So I know what you say is true.. Because I checked it by myself... Nokia 5220 Xpress Music wins against Nokia 5530 Xpress Music (Or any other Music Xpress phone...!) in terms of crispy sound...!

              But the Audio check results in GSMarena are not showing that clearly so I was wondering what is the reason...? The frequency response, THD, Noise level, dynamic range values are pretty much similar in both 5220 and 5530... So it was very hard for me to believe my ears against the standard test results here..! And then I found out it is nothing but "Stereo Cross Talk"
              Nokia 5220 has a considerably low value for Stereo cross talk while 5530 has a very high value (Which is considered to be better)
              But in terms of Music Clarity and Cristal clear sounds now my suggestion is the stereo cross talk value should not be always higher.. It should be high but very high values are also not good...! That was my personal conclusion... Please correct me if I'm wrong... Because I'm not a professional in this subject and I only say which my ears tell me to say...!

              However on the other hand, I can easily adjust 8 band equalizer as I prefer (I've done it already) in 5530 so now I get very close and competitive sound output as 5220...! (My mother is always very proud when I say her simple phone - 5220 - has better music than my sophisticated sexy phone...!)

              More comments please...!

                  Dear Hennessy,

                  Yes.. You're correct... Sennheiser is one of the best... (May be the best of all) but it's not as cheap as EP 630...! If I consider value plus performance, I will go for EP 630...

                  And specially I suggested that to my friend Cyber-shot under dog because he said he even is satisfactory with Nokia own headset..! That means he wouldn't notice very big difference between Sennheiser and EP 630. Then he will regret of buying an expensive headset which is more than what he needs...

                  What do you think my friend Cyber-Shot under dog...?
                  Sannheiser is perfect if you are a HARD CORE KILLING MUSIC LOVER...! If you are only HARD CORE MUSIC LOVER then Creative EP 630 would be sufficient... If you are just a music lover... Then the own Nokia headset is enough...!

                  What do you say people...? We want more comments here....!

                    Dear Nikko,

                    I'm from Sri Lanka and you're from Philippine so even if I tell you the store you wouldn't be able to buy it anyway...

                    However if you are an ebay member (who knows about ebay deals and how to do buy things from ebay safely...) then I can recommend you one seller who sold me very good (and fairly cheap) ear buds... But if you are new to ebay or paypal.. Then I don't recommend that...!

                      Dear LM,

                      Yes... You're correct... It doesn't come with a document viewer default... You'll have to search for it and install it by yourself...

                      I found it by searching (google) as follows.
                      "quickoffice for 5800"
                      (Always search applications for 5800 which is older and popular phone so far... Almost all the applications which support 5800 should support 5530 as well.)

                      Good luck... (And hei... GSMarena, please correct your specifications...!)

                        hey i got the same problem on nokia 5530. i just bought it dec 12 '09. after 2 weeks of using, i observed its battery doesnt last. i always charge everyday. I read its specs that you can play music for 27 hours which i think is very impossible. I dont use my phone for music play even in 1 hour but my battery discharges easily. So i decided to go back to the mall and give it back to the nokia head customer service. I was really upset. I was a Sony Erricson user before, but because of the sexy look of nokia 5530, i was persuaded to buy it...

                          I got a cool app here, it's called "Fingerprint Scanner". Search it on youtube for the demo. I uploaded the app on my MediaFire. It's freeware and its unsigned app (you have to sign it first or you should have your phone Hacked). Here is the download link.
