 Tiny Smartphone. Smart buy. November 18, 2009
V. Vuppala (Pennsylvania)
24 out of 26 found this review helpful
Pros:
The unit is dead simple to get started with. Took my simcard from my ATT locked phone and dropped it in, and I was ready to go within a minute of opening the box.
The "Symbian S60v5" OS is quite advanced and has features that the iPhone doesn't have.
- multitasking: you can stream Last.FM and chat on IM (try using Pandora and AOL on the iPhone)
- theme/skinning without hacking the phone
- tethering without jailbreaking the phone
- Flash for web content (not full Flash 10, so no Hulu, but YouTube works).
- You can get apps from other places than the App Store (more like the Mac than the iPhone). Just download the .sisx file, and it installs.
Coming from a locked AT&T phone, the biggest benefit is the lack of crapware - no hardware shortcuts to "MeDiAnEt" and when you click on music, it doesn't prompt you to buy ringtones from AT&T. I'll never go back to carrier-subsidized phones.
Cons:
Battery is small - it'll last a full day of moderately heavy use (calls, email, web, music), but expect to plug it in every night.
Nokia's Ovi Store is not nearly as advanced as Apple's iTunes Store yet.
- Ovi Music is not available in the US
- Apps are rarely found in the App Store, because most developers would rather you download it from them directly (like Mac, not iPhone).
The phone update process is not as intuitive as the iPhone process - Small updates can be done from the device itself, but larger updates need a Windows PC (I used VMWare Fusion on my Mac)
The included micro-USB cord is quite short.
Up to you:
The device doesn't have battery-hungry things like 3G or GPS. If these are things that you need, look at the bigger brother - the 5800.
BEST KEPT SECRET ON THE MARKET! EXCELLENT PRODUCT! January 4, 2010

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is one of the best phones on the market right now, and it has received little attention! The 5530 is really in the class of phones priced $100-$150 higher. I have been researching phones for months now, and this is the only unlocked phone with a 3.2 MP camera, touchscreen, stylus and wi-fi all together for anywhere under 250 dollars. The only competitors that come close, Samsung tocco lite and LG cookie don't have wi-fi, and the Nokia E63 has a terrible camera and no touchscreen. This phone is a perfect combination of business featured smartphone and young and trendy media-phone.
Pros:
-Good responsive touch screen
-Excellent camera, photos come out with excellent quality
-Stable and powerful OS. You can run many applications at one time, and it does not crash. It is easy and intuitive to use, similar to a computer. It is also very capable, and can do many things a computer can: cut, copy and paste, downloading and installing applications etc.
-Stylish looking, both outside and user interface
-Good full HTML web browser
-QWERTY keyboard upon rotating the phone in almost all applications
Cons:
-Very light (would be a pro for most people, but I like phones a little heavy) and some of the plastic may feel a little fragile (but all phones today come with cheap plastic)
-No GPS or 3G (look at the Nokia 5800 if these are important)
In short: If you're thinking of buying this phone, go for it! You will love it!

I got this phone and it has
* great form factor
* great battery life
* excellent call quality
* Amazing Music player and sound quality
* Great music streaming app
* WiFi allows me to enjoy mobile internet without paying thru the nose for a data plan
There were some instances that I faced reboot and hangs when using the phone earlier, after updating to latest software I have no complaints yet.

I love this phone, It's very small for a touchscreen phone, and you can work everything with one hand. It has a lot of features and very user friendly if you are a Nokia user and It has multitasking.
