...N5530xm is so far the best phone I have. The resistive touch screen is near to capacitive in terms of sensitivity.

Just one thing i hate about it is its battery life. It sucks!!! Nevertheless, still I'm satisfied with its performance.

So excited.... :D.
5530 Xpresses 'Rock!'
I can actually buy it now, but i just don't... I'm waiting for Dec to make this a special Christmas present for my self.

Dear all my friends in GSMarena,

Somebody else is posting comments using my name... I don't care this, unless those comments are truthful and will not be harmful or annoying to anybody who put trust on me...

The friends who know me for a long time, they can definitely identify this guy though he/she uses my name as 'Nuwan', because from his/her writing style it's quite evident it's not me...

His/her writings are not in good English, and they are very short.. Further more He/she often uses the sentence 'God Bless You' which I've never used in my life...!

All of you, please be aware of this guy...

Yeah.. Hopefully I think so... Though it's really depending on what do you mean by 'Continuse texting...'

If it's 250 SMS per day... That's still be OK for 1 and half days I suppose... But if it's even more than that... Well, I doubt... (Actually problem is not the texting... the problem is, how many hours your display is on... When texting the display is always on and that's gonna cost lot of battery...)

Nokia 6300 has an ordinary 860 mAh battery... So if you could survive 24 to 36 hours by that.. Then with 5530's 1000 mAh battery, you will be able to go on to a similar time period... (However with lots of load and large display, you should understand 5530 will consume more power than 6300...!)

If you know the password of the Wifi connection then No problem... You can use it without any problem using 5530...

However, any mobile battery will not last long with heavy wifi usage.. That reasonable fact you have to understand...

According to GSMarena music quality test results yeah.. 5230 wins over both 5530 and 5800...

However I checked by myself... And I didn't notice such a quality difference... Instead I felt the bass reproduction is better in 5530 than in 5230...

Personally I really doubt these GSMarena Music Quality test results...

If you want to confirm I think you better hold the both phone on your hand and check yourself using the same headset and same song with same volume level... I did and I preferred 5530 over 5230... (Please understand that, this is subjective after all...)

Actually we can use 5800 battery in 5530... But the battery bay in 5530 is not exactly matching with 5800 battery... Someone has tried this (I don't remember who...) and has posted a comment in this forums telling that it works except for the incompatibility in size..

5800 battery is not that long as 5530 battery but is thicker than 5530... Now you see... If you put 5800 battery in 5530, the mobile will definitely work... but you'll have to keep your back cover open...!!! For an extra 320 mAh which is really a small extra, I think that's ridiculous...!

Nokia 5530 Xpress Music doesn't support TV out functionality.. And if some websites claim that it does just to sell their TV out cables.. Be aware of them... That's not true...!

Camera of Nokia 5530 is not perfect but it's 3.2 MP and nobody can say it's just like 1 MP... I know Nokia cameras are not as great as Sony Erricsson or Samsung cameras, but yet it's good enough...

Regarding shutter speed and time takes to capture... Those really are two different matters... The time which it takes to capture a image is just a moment... (May be a second, half a second...) And you can take photos continuously without any problem... I don't know on what basis anybody told you 5530 camera is like 1 MP and is really bad...! I think you better check it by yourself and decide...

Following link will direct you to one of my facebook account photo albums which has been captured by my 5530 Xpress Music camera... You can see whether it's good or bad now...

Oops...! Memory card full...? When your memory card is not really full, if that message comes it's weird...! I've not yet experienced such a message so I really am unable to comment about it..

Please remove your memory card from the mobile and connect it in to a laptop directly... And see whether it's functioning properly... May be this is a hardware fault in your memory card...

> In reply to Miss Cadence :" @ 2010-03-13 07:06 from uSW} - click to readi tried texting in 5530 and its great. less effort makes your texting extra fast.
anyways,
brother Nuwan i text a lot. in my 6300, my battery lasted only for 24 to 32 hrs in continuous usage (texting and listening to music at night mp3/fm)
and below 24 hrs usage when listening to around 40 mp3s and continuous texting.
now, regardless of playing music or lets just not count mp3 play time... do you think the 5530 can run 24hrs to 1 and a half day in continuous texting or with about 10 mins to 30 mins calling sometimes?

1)low battery life
2)low vibration alert( when u keep mobile in silent mode with vibration on,u cant feel the vibrations and u may miss a message or call received )
3)display does not light up when i recieve a message(coz of this i have to check my mobile everytime whether i have received a message or not when i keep the mobile in silent mode)
4)low loud speaker volume in outdoors(good in indoors, like when u listen music in ur home)
5)camera quality is not good
6)build quality if back cover is poor(is shaky) and the lock key is loosened and making cracking like noise, which is annoying
