A few days ago, a study from MOTO came out, showing the accuracy of various touchscreen devices, including the Motorola DROID, Apple iPhone, and a few other touchscreen smartphones. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to include any Symbian-powered smartphones in their study, so Dotsisx and I decided to conduct our own similar study. We gathered as [...]
The eagle-eyed team at AllAboutSymbian have spotted new firmware updates for both the Nokia N85 and 5530. There was also news recently that the N79 received a firmware update, along with the N96. Now if only the 5800 XpressMusic and N97 could get new firmwares, I’d be a happy camper. The Nokia N85 was updated [...]
Now that we’ve covered the hardware of the 5530 XpressMusic, which is surprisingly good, considering its budget-oriented target market, I want to take a look at the software side of things. This, in my opinion, is where the 5530 XpressMusic really shines, specifically in Nokia’s current touchscreen smartphone lineup. System The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, on [...]
I’ve shared the top 5 things I love and hate about this little bitty touchscreen smartphone, so now it’s time to dig right in with the full review. We’ll start with hardware today, and move to the software tomorrow. It’s no secret that the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a budget-oriented smartphone, but does that mean [...]

Of course, it’s not a comprehensive list, and several of you had thoughts on other things that annoy you about the 5530 XpressMusic. However, today I want to share with you the top 5 things that I [...]
Just for fun, I thought we’d start off with the things that I really despise about the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. To be fair, I’ll leave out the obvious omission of 3G data support and a built-in GPS receiver. Of course, I wish the phone had those, but it doesn’t, so let’s not get caught up [...]
When the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was first unwrapped, I thought it was lame. Who on earth would want a touchscreen smartphone with no 3G and no built-in GPS receiver? When I received the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, then, and unboxed it for myself, I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, those two crucial (for me) features are [...]
Both the Nokia N86 8MP and the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic have recently received updated firmware, bringing a few fixes here and there, as well as other important updates. The Nokia N86′s firmware brought quite a few speed updates, as well as the new facial recognition ability in the camera and an indicator to show where [...]
With the announcement of the Nokia 5320, X6, and 5530 XpressMusic, it’s clear how Nokia intends to take on the touchscreen market – the same way they ‘took on’ the regular mobile market – with a flood of devices.
