5530 - 10790 in Nokia and 10699 in Eldorado
Europe dislike names for technics, so we ... morei agree with Coth
5800 look sux
& also it outdated phone n old phone compare 2 5530.
@IEatCookiesForBreakf
more speaking of hardware difference. remember 5800 has got a defect stylus fixer, defect speakers, poor sensor sensitivity and other problems. 5530 has redesigned speakers and stylus fixer to avoid of problems with 5800. and sensor layer is more sensitive. those things you will never fix with just firmware updates.
also as far as i remember i have seen screenshots showing 5800 CPU reporting 414MHz frequency after update, not 434MHz. well might be they have gone more upper.

5530 - 10790 in Nokia and 10699 in Eldorado
Europe dislike names for technics, so we have numerical names. I suspect star 3g is GT-S5600. It's poorly available and cost in average 9400.
But star and star 3g are not two rivals to 5530, as they are not smartphones. They are both in different category. SE G900 looses to 5530 considerably - it's very very slow due to old 208MHz CPU, not finger friendly and has very small resolution. The only better thing about G900 is design.
average prices for comparison
nokia 5800 - 14000 p.
nokia n82 - 12500 p.
nokia n86 - 19500 p.
se g900 - 10500 p.
se xperia - 23000 p.
htc diamond 2 - 20800 p.
n97 - 24800 p.
samsung gt-i8910 8 (omnia hd) - 22800 p.
samsung sgh-i900 8 (witu omnia) - 16400 p.
htc hero - 28000 p.
iphone 3gs 16 - 35000 p.
iphone 3g 8 - 18900 p.

As I said there is Y-browser. IT is built on native interface, so you can you kinetic scrolling and your finger. X-plore does not support kinetic scrolling and even with largest font size items in the tree about twice smaller than items on native listboxes/menues. In most of cases Y-browser is enough. At the time you need text editor/hex viewer and other features of X-plore you can use. I'm sure it won't be often, so don't worry too much about that.
I didn't tryed any video. Simply didn't installed any third party movie player yet, like CorePlayer. But i'm sure CPU is fast enough to play VGA video with no shuttering. It comes with several mp4 and one rm demo files. mp4 640x360 1mbit. Works with no probs. One 320x240 512kbit RM laggs. But this might be bad inbuilt real decoder. As I said didn't tryed out CorePlayer or other video players yet. Of course CorePlayer and SmartMovie support a lot more formats.
No problems was noticed with GSM connection. Beeline doesn't work on 1st level of my house (i live on 15th) within the elevator. GSM disappear just for a few seconds when elevator approaching 1st level. Once i step out of elevator GSM nearly immediately reconnects. Not really big problem and i'm too lazy to call them to report about the problem...
GPRS/EDGE works bad in Moscow, but behavior is absolutely identical to SE G900. Both GSM and GPRS networks appears and disappears in same places and takes same time to reconnect. Difference might be few meters/few seconds, not more.

So firmware is definitely better. Hardware lacks of few feature which are not important to me and to many people. While software pluses are gigantic - kinetic scrolling, desktop and auto qwerty in landscape position. Everyone needs them. As for 4GB. Well be it 8 in anyway i bought a new microsd, because i need an adapter for my card reader. And flash card is separated, 8gb cost just 500 rubles, so it's not a big minus. Even 5530 + new flash card is still cheaper for 3450 rubles (over $100)
I personally think 5800 is ugly as hell. It has a lot of unused whitespace, it's big and too fat and won't fit into my pocket (i'm 167cm tall with S30 size). It has huge bevel edge. It's simply doesn't look stylish, nor elegant. Nor 5530 of course, but it's still more compact, thin and button on the front are better. Shapes looks more proportional than 5800. 4/10 for 5800 and 5/10 for 5530 in my opinion.
Actually the one is available at the moment is black/red. White (silver)/blue and other colors are not available yet. You can see it on my shots. The one from GSMArena pictures is not available yet.
It's got same resolution as 5800. And touch area still enough large. Of course if you are 180cm tall with large finger it might be not enough large for you.
Nokia 5800 XM is the Best Phone..!! :P
why seems like 5800 got update? i saw the processor of it become 434 MHz and my friend told me this month 5800 price got raise a bit...
Last time is about 1000MYR, now is 1070MYR (AP phone price)
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970its about $325
to costly

Hi,
Nokia touch phones suks... first look through 5800; it has cheep camera, even vga camera is better than that,slow gui and touch screen is not so friendly and have a wifi error and browser is very irritating.
Now we look on 5530, it is nice but same bilions of problem, to high in price, not front camera no GPS and so irritating design even the main buttons like end call, recive call and menu button are touch interface which is really a bad thing.
Some one tell nokia that they are not like to be like Apple, they got gesture and guts which u dont have,u r born to make strieght phone. Touch screen phones are not kinda r type. Please stop dissgrace people u cannot be able to make a perfect touch screen phone. and if u do then price is much high.. What do u want to do???
Nokia, please give some perfect not a perfect crap... i'll suggest to not buy 5800 neither 5530 nor n97, it also have some diffect, like face book issue. slow GUI, and obviously to high price.

I am highly considering buying this, to replace my nokia 3120 classic as i want a smartphone now. But I have some doubts on this one... While I don't mind the lack of pointless 3G, I think that the battery life might be unsatisfactory since it's 1000 Mah, like my current 3120, but this is much more powerful, so I think a more potent battery should power it up... or make I'll just charge it every day... After all, I'll be getting a fantastic phone... The smaller, sexier brother of the TUBE... It was about type they got rid of that horribly plain design... I'm gonna go with the white with blue version, I like it better than black with red...
Manu, 15 Aug 2009Thanx 4 d quick reply...
My mistake, i did not see that part (vga)...But it still got d other... moremy cousin brought one N73ME few years ago... he had also brought one Nokia phone but i dunno what series, he compared the song playing sound quality, but seems like N73ME sound quality not good...
N82... for me i think is too many slot,example like those charger ports... about the sound and camera i didnt test before, because is my friend's phone...
anyway, 5530 also Symbian OS and it has an overclocked processor at a speed of 434 MHz (while 5800 is 369 MHz)... and this phone got Kinetic Scoll but i dunno weather 5800 now got it or not....

Video Yes, VGA@30fps (verified)

My mistake, i did not see that part (vga)...But it still got d other 2 problems of poor camera & call quality....
I also liked the N73ME & N82 ( my main requirements are symbian os, good camera & music quality ) but i'm in favour of this beauty as its d latest & bcoz of its looks....
Manu, 15 Aug 2009Thanx 4 d quick reply...
My mistake, i did not see that part (vga)...But it still got d other... morebut what i know is i watched a video in YouTube about comparing the picture captured in 5530 and 5800...
5800 captured pictures a little bit yellow when put into pc and view... i also dunno it's true or not...
Because u saw 5530 no Carl Zeiss optics? So write poor piture capture?
Only one disadvantage for this phone was short battery life only... just up to about 5 hours talk-time while 5800 got about 9 hours 2G communicate time...
I don't need 3G and GPS so i select this phone...
i think call quality and coverage also depends on your network provider..
