The Nokia 5800 offered so much value-for-money that none can match. The 5530 comes in even more affordable but tries to deliver as much goodies as possible, pushing the value-for-money meter much farther in scale. Here's what the 5530 XpressMusic offers and what was left out to keep the cost down:
HAVES
- Quad-band GSM support
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- microSD card memory expansion, ships with a 4GB card
- FM radio with RDS
- Bluetooth with A2DP and USB v2.0
- Standard 3.5mm audio jack
- Stereo speakers
- Stylus, with its own compartment inside the phone
- Proximity sensor for screen auto turn-off
- Accelerometer sensor.
- Office document viewer
- Accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation, motion-based gaming and turn-to-mute
- Office document viewer
- OVI integration (direct image and video uploads, OVI Contacts)
- Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
- FM radio with RDS
- Bluetooth with A2DP and USB v2.0
- Standard 3.5mm audio jack
- Stereo speakers
HAVE NOTS
- Default font size is a bit small due to the smaller screen
- Somewhat limited 3rd party software availability
- Average camera image quality
- Video recording quality is unimpressive
- Doesn't charge off its microUSB port
- No smart dialing
- No DivX/XviD video support out of the box
- No 3G support
- No built-in GPS receiver
- Display has poor sunlight legibility
RESULT
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a clear attempt to bring the S60 5th edition to the hands of a larger audience, which in turn should motivate a bigger developer community, which in turn will make the platform appealing to an even wider user group, which in turn would make Nokia lots of money. It is going to be the winner of the year.
