I plan to get myself a new phone, but still struggling between 5800 and 5530, by the way, i understand HTC new phone, HTC tattoo is coming soon with only 1k++, android base... should I wait for that?

go for 5800.
newly launch phone the price is surely quite high and 5800 has a very big user base over here so if you are facing any problem, just post it out and I'm sure there are people who are willing to help.

agree

but I'm attracted by the stylish design outlook of the 5530 , i believe the 5530 is same as 5800, so I still can utilized the application/issue posted in this forum

note that 5530 does not have GPS and 3G, and it has smaller screen with smaller bundled memory card size

Just wait for 6 months. See how the price of 5800 drop from 1300 from early this year to the current price? A 30% drop. So by next March this phone will be selling for 700+.

I think I'll wait until december to get my year end bonus then only buy it. I believed that time price sure drop a lot

5530 has better design than 5800 but slightly smaller screen. It also lack of GPS and 3G. But for me, both function is not a must and from my experience with 5800, I seldom use it and can live with out it.

If only the price is cheaper.

the price is almost the same, few 100 variant. Thats why it's hard to make decision. buy better function? or buy better design?

Of course better function. I also wait the price going down below RM900.

I'm also struggling between the nokia 5530 and nokia 5800.but somehow i feel that some of the issues that were present in the 5800 would've been resolved in the 5530.take the memory card issue for example.also the delay in alarm issue present in the new firmware.if the issues have been resolved in the new nokia 5800,then i'd definitely get the 5800,no questions asked.just concerned bout the bugs.

it should be available widely by now. saw the shops in LYP selling it already

if tis hp really with gps, it gonna be my phone by now... *sigh*

Agree... but i was thinking how often i used GPS.. shud i give up on this?

actually i feel lik i really need it often... as i need to explore new place sometimes... so hoping to find a hp wit gps n wifi... tis hp is damn nice... but.......

In my opinion, 5530 was priced near 5800 to boost the sales of 5800. They know potential customers are waiting to see the price of 5530 before decide which phone to buy. Once 5800 has hit their require set quota, then they will adjust the price of both 5530 and 5800 to boost their sales again.

There's a 5800 Navigation Edition.
It comes with a lifetime voice subscription.

I'm going to shop today... in my mind now is 5530, lets see how the seller recommend me .

the seller will recommend a phone that give them the highest profit margin
it's easy, if u do not need GPS and 3G, go for 5530
otherwise, get 5800, which comes with 8GB mmc and larger screen as well

just tried 5530, i think for sure you'll notice is the display is way better than 5800 and n97 in terms of sharpness and clearity by 150%. the display on 5530 looks like higher resolution than 5800 but it's the same spec on paper.
