Nokia 5530 'great for those who do not need 3G'

Posted: 21 October 2009

Nokia has added to its range of music-focussed touchscreen mobile phones with a device that one reviewer has singled out for praise.

Mobile Burn's Ricky Cadden looked at one of the latest budget models in the Finish manufacturer's line-up and explained that although it is lacking in 3G, it is overall a solid device.

He said the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic boasts "crystal clear" call quality, while the aesthetics of the model are "eye-pleasing" and feel good in the hand.

Mr Cadden concluded that, with "decent build quality" and a host of useful features, he was able to give the gadget a "highly recommended rating - provided you don't need 3G".

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic joins other similarly-branded phones like the 5800 and comes with a 3.2-megapixel camera, A2DP-enabled Bluetooth, 2.9-inch screen and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Frank Lewis said in an article for the Crave technology website last month that the mobile would provide buyers "a good user experience for the price".

Does the price of the 5530 make it more attractive than the 5800?
