The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is unique. Cheaper and prettier than the immensely popular 5800 XpressMusic, the 5530 retains the Symbian S60 5th edition operating system, packed into a 2G device with a wide array of high-end festures. It may not have 3G, but it more than makes up for that with 4GB of (microSD supplied) storage, Wi-Fi and a 3.15 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera.
With a 2.9-inch touchscreen, the 5530 retains the active homescreen chock-full of social networking connectivity with contacts and a bevy of frequently used services just one touch away. The GSM/EDGE support will be more than sufficient to support them, 2G web browsing is a small concession given the clean design and attractive looks.
Available in a variety of colours and at a bargain SIM-free price of €199, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic will begin shipping in Q3 2009.
