Nokia has a new S60 v5 phone, aiming to cater to those who want to jump to the S60 v5, with less budget...

The 5530 will be price lower than the 5800. Among the things it loses compared to the 5800 is no GPS receiver, HSDPA support and comes with a 4GB microSDHC. The display is also smaller at 2.9 inches. The battery is a 1000MaH unit




Anyone want one already?

For me, I`m rather tempted to get one as a secondary phone. And the phone looks less plasticky compared to the 5800

without 3G, it would not be attractive if the selling price is around RM700+

But remember the HTC Touch Viva at 1.2k, just EDGE also quite a hot model...

Should be like 800-900 when first launch I guess as stated by GSMA will be expected to be 199 Euros

darn e72 dont hav Carl Zeiss but this hav it.. guess nokia is bac to it way of making phone "not giving all the goodies in 1 phone"

LG cookie is selling at RM700+ without 3G.
This phone should not be a lot more than that.

Well, remember the Carl Zeiss in the 5800? Which has a very tiny sensor, thus pics in bad lighting sucks...
Hopefully this comes with a larger sensor
If this is at 700, LG Cookie cannot sell ady

no 3G..
im not going for this.

Did you guys see this? Looks like the Nokia 5530 has kinetic scrolling...



Check the last 3 seconds of the video..

They had better put the kinetic scrolling and homescreen update for the Nokia 5800 otherwise I'll be so pissed

i still prefer my 5800 XM compare to this

I see the special thing is can push push the front application bar? right

This phone, although lacks some features of the 5800, seems more towards the fun side of having a music phone.
It has scrolling contacts, ability to control music through home screen, more versatile home screen, and have more choices of colours and it comes with an IEM(although not that good in quality I'm sure, at least it is showing that this is a music-centric phone). It has the right eye-candy for the target market. Looking at this now, it makes the 5800 look more bussiness like.

Why didn't Nokia do this to the 5800? I mean, it's the flagship in the XpressMusic series. You're right J-Slade, if Nokia doesn't do anything about this soon to us 5800 owners, we'll be greatly pissed.

as long e72 can take good pics, ok already. Carl Zeiss or not, not much diff for me, 5800 hv but the pics, not good. other manufacturer dont hv Carl zeiss also can take good & nice pics

anyway this 5530 front styling with metal finish look nice and it dont have recess screen like 5800, more clean n sleeker.

hopefully next fw update for 5800 will have homescreen like 5530

I like the design if compare with 5800 design, but with no 3G?

The homescreen and the overall look is the only thing that I like about this phone. Which I guess is a lot. But the problem is no 3g and no gps. They should've made the 5800 xm look like this initially but, for the price of my 5800xm I am not complaining.

5800 uses wont be tempted to trade in theri phone for this, but if Nok dont give us the 5530`s home screen, we`ll really be pissed and dissapointed

Agreed. 5530 looks more expensive on the exterior

this look much much better than 5800.. but... good news for music lover and digi user.. haha

well, Digi will have 3G soon, so then what?

nokia 5530 hands on

*vid not in english though

personally i feel tube looks much better than this phone
but the kinetic scrolling sure makes me drool

I use more than 10 3G phone, still waiting DiGi release 3G for mobile phone

Their 3G broadband internat is already here. Once that has spread throught entire Malaysia, then they'll release it for cellphones.
