5530 Vs 5800 – Nokia Mobiles Compared

by

The current hot product on the cell phone market is the brand new Nokia 5530 – The third ‘”Touch” phone by Nokia.

As you may already know, 5530 is bit cheaper than 5800.

But what are the differences except the price?

The Nokia confirmed it has 5530 no UMTS / HSDPA.
If you want to surf the mobile is of course clear downside.
Similarly, no GPS on board.
When 5530 is “only” 4GB card in, the 5800 had 8GB of memory.
And has the display from the 5530 “only” 2.9 “compared to the 3.2” from the 5800th.

Otherwise, thanks to symbian on the functions and capabilities produces pretty much the same …..
So in case you don’t mind having  GPS or UMTS, then I would still buy Nokia 5530 –  it is  smaller  and more stylish.

I personally use lot of UMTS (Internet) and I regularly use GPS.
So I am completely satisfied with my 5800.
Would certainly be nice in case that were slim and stylish as the 5530, but when I decided to do without GPS and UMTS must, then I would rather stay in 5800.

Here is comparison of Nokia 5530 and its older brother called Nokia 5800 and their main features.

  4. Don’t think any more just in for the nokia 5530. Cuz i have both phones and the 5800 was good but i sold it after i got the 5530 and internet is good in 5530 only thing is it is a bit slow.

  14. Hi all

    can any 1 tell about the difference of WIFI between 5530 and 5800 cuz there is a bit difference in technology. 5800 has UPNP tecnhology in WIFI but it lacks in 5530. So, can any 1 tell what is UPNP? Does this technology affect wifi speed???

  17. i think it terms of usability 5800 outweighs the 5530.. i own a 5800 and have updated firmware to v51 recently.. the bugs are fixed and im really happy about it.. you can use this phone over and over and over for years… in terms of the looks most of you say that the 5530 looks great but i dont need that kind of phone, that’s too shallow.. it pretty on the outside but no brains like what the 5800 can over.. anyway.. 5800 is an overall winner

  18. En mi opinion los que compran el 5800 es porque le metieron el dedo a la boca , encuentro que la camara del 5530 es impresionante , y su pantalla es espectacular .prefiero mil veces mas la elegancia y prestancia , que tener gps y un celular tan tosco .

  24. ONLY 1 THING I WANT TO SAY – WHEN U SNAP A PIC. 4M 5530 N 5800, U WILL FIND A DIFFERENCE THAT 5530 CAPTURE YOLLOWISH PIC THAN 5800. 5800 CAN CAPTURE CLEAR PIC DURING NIGHT WITH LESS LIGHT BT 5530 CANT.

PLZ SOMEBODY GUIDE DAT IS 5800 GET DA EQUAL SOUND QUALITY AFTER UPGRADING LATEST FIRMWARE????? I M GOING TO BUY 5800 TOMMOROW. I SOLD 5530 4 YOLLOWISH DISPLAY N 2.9 INCH SCREEN

  25. hey guys,

    i prefer u buy 5530…coz i’ve got a friend of mine who had this 5800xm and she’s complaining on it’s camera for being a bit blurry…and it’s responses became so slow the longer the time she had used it..

    i bought 5530 recently, and don’t have this kind of problems so far…yet Im still not satisfied. I’ve found out that S60v5 applications will install and work on 5800 as easy as breathing..unlike in 5530,which had almost the same features, will sometimes not work.

    1 example is n-gage application…most people had had it worked on 5800..but not to 5530…I tried it to install once..it worked!..but i can’t get started…

    well it dosen’t mean that 5530 is poor on application…maybe i’m just forgetting sumthing that will make it work…

    Anyways, I still prefer 5530 than 5800…bcoz it has almost the same features. it is more stylish..applicatons and software are just the same..the only difference is that S60v5 softwares seems like in favor of 5800 bcoz of its firmware…

    camera?..i’d say it’s just the same..you can adjust image quality anyways…
    responses..5530 is more responsive…3G? I don’t need it anyways..it had WIFI..GPS?..you’re not gonna nid this..trust me..
    FLASH–the only big differnce..but led flash is enough for me…

    (sorry for my bad english)..:D:D
