You know what.. when i called nokia today, they said they have my number already and they will let me know when it arrives. Guess have called them too many times.
@Mangesh, in those US sites that you have mentioned, i see 5530 for 249 dollars at amazon adn 257 at buy .com
cool price if at all there was international warranty.
Anil, 27 Sep 2009@Mangesh....thats true...Even me planning to buy it in another 2-3 ays max or maybe before tht... more@Anil, yes the design of the new 5530 slimmer and smaller is what i like the most. The faster processor hardware wise, which means later by there could be an upgrade for overclocking to compete with later upcoming models.
My friend had the 5800 but its bulky and I never even got the thought of buying it. Am not going to settle down for 5800. I always want my phones handy, and want them to be phones first rather than a gadget to hold and talk.
Plus its smaller size with equal resolution of 5800 should make it very crisp hopefully and not to mentions about the physical keys present in 5800 as against 5530.
Folks,
Could you please tell whether 5530 can read documents such as MSword, excel, powerpoint etc. N is d screen size sufficient
@Mangesh....thats true...Even me planning to buy it in another 2-3 ays max or maybe before thta....If i maked my mind n get 5800 i will post u guys ...........
I have to forgot about good design of 5530 :((

Looks like Nokia doesnt have any option for International warranty and they have explicitly mentioned is applicable in the country the unit was purchased from too.
Gosh but a touchscreen and losing on the warranty sounds really disturbing.

Is the software for India getting delayed for integrating Indian languages into it ?
Or maybe it will get delayed until early 2010 like Nokia said during its launch in India.

Guys am thinking of getting it through a friend from singapore or if its release in US maybe from there. In US, how long does this pre-order takes to get delivered.
Is there an option for international warranty purchase option ?

"We were quite surprised to find that Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has a geotagging option in its menu system. We guess Nokia got carried away with copying the 5800 software and forgot there is no GPS chip onboard."
I just wanted to correct you, because geotagging uses the nodes (the network) to triangulate your position. It is not as accurate as GPS, but thats the technology they use.
-Geotagging does not require GPS.
here's whats funny about my recent discovery with this phone.
it has no 3G but it can still connect to my telecom providers internet service which makes me question the used of 3G technology aside from connecting to mobile internet.. do we still need 3G?

4 ur kind info, advertisement is running on televisions about 5800 (price 14049/-), with free senheisser headsets.
if we ignore smartphone feature and can put 5k more frm the 5800 price, i think better is Samsung Jet.
I will wait for 2 more weeks for 5530. Still not came, and Jet price is around 17k at tht time, i ll go for Jet.
evilkid, 26 Sep 2009Do you have problems with the back cover? Please answer me :D@evilkid yes many people have reported wobbling/loose back cover in 5530. Dont worry it is a common minor problem.
Anil, 26 Sep 2009Hey i am pissed up waiting for this phone....Today i went to check for phones.... Hey there i... more@anil thanks buddy for letting us know abt free senheisser offer with 5800! That's gr8 along with price cut! I have to check if the offer available in Goa. U r right its too long you, rajeev, mani, myself have waited for 5530. I'll wait for few more days or may be will buy 5800 tomo. Happy dassera to all!
hi i think buying 5800 is gud decision becoz im getting nokia blue tooth rs1 200 and senihiser head phone which cost rs2300 only for kinetic scrolling we have to take risk with new product 5800 is sucessfull and hit too peaswe reply god bless you all parth and uday.....
nokia's new phone are always expensive. wait for ast least three months and you will see the price to starts going down. 5800 initial price was P21,000 now after a few months,you can get for 13,800. selling this phone for 13+ would make people opt for samsung or LG which are cheaper althought it lacks wi-fi.
plz guys...i've the phone 2 weeks and the video resolution is at 640x480(vga) 30 fps!!it's the same as 5800.stop saying that the resolution is 15fps that isn't correct.
UPDATE TO MY POST: Php 13,700 is the Nokia 5530 price in my area, same as Nokia 5800. But I dont know if Nokia 5800 has complete package or has been reduced.
Nokia Philippines listed this on their website:
Video recording at up to 640 x 480 pixels (VGA) and up to 30 fps
Wow! I wonder why it was QCIF when I read it at other Nokia website?
Php 13,700 is the price, same as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic but I dont know if it has the usual accessories
