Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Touch-Screen Phone
December 22, 2009 | Cell Phones, Nokia | 1 CommentWatching, there is a degree of improvement in the 5800 to 5530 with a round lip gave the edge of the screen and an air generally thinner and smoother everywhere. However, with a plethora of buttons along its edges and not very interesting grids above and below the screen, it is certainly not the telephonemode.
In particular, we see no necessity in this day and age to have separate power, lock, and call end buttons. A well-designed system operating should allow all of them to be incorporated into a single button or replaced by touch-screen gestures, both make phone cleaner look and easier to use. Similarly, the button XpressMusic, which comes from a list of shortcuts to the phone’s multimedia features (music, photos, online services, video, and Web browser), seems a little unnecessary, especially since it No is not accompanied by multimedia playback controls.
Construction quality is also a concern that the back is an absolute pig to get off and is so thin that it looks very unnervingly like you strength. Fortunately, you should not have to remove all that often that the microSD memory card is accessible from the side. Apparently, you can also get the SIM slot of this part except that you actually have to remove the rear battery and push the SIM card out – it’s a very strange provision. The screen also has a soft surface and flexible to be very prone to scratches. At least, we never felt the need to use the stylus to 5530. [via trustedreviews]
