The 5530 XpressMusic does not offer 3G connectivity, but is equipped with Wi-Fi. While not as high-end as the 5800, this device comes with a 3.2MP camera with LED flash, 3.5 mm audio jack, and a touchscreen display offering resolution of 640×360.

Hey, I bought 5530, and it’s great. I’m very happy with it. I don’t care bout 3G, cause I don’t use it, I use Wi-Fi (much better). Just I’m angry cause it doesn’t have GPS chip inside. But anyway there is a way. You can use it either with external blue-tooth GPS, or you can use it with Google maps or Ovi maps from nokia. It’s great, but could be a little expensive.
Cheers to a great phone 5530

Hi I have the same problem as taqveem & Ghe.
I bought this phone end of November.
Since yesterday it’s acting problematic, if i try to call or recieve a call without the headset it turns itself off.
And if I call with the speaker on, than it turns itself off after 45 seconds.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?
Grtz!

March 6th, 2010
As highlighted above, this phone has a MAJOR flaw with its sensor system that turns the phone off when receiving or making calls with the handset. The Nokia website has a slew of complaints about this problem. My 5530 developed this problem after 2 months of moderate usage and was repaired, only to develop the exact same fault again a few days later. I sold it and will not buy a Nokia again. Buy this phone at your own risk.

What is the price of this phone now?? [in march 2010] is it less than 10k INR???
