Call quality was never an issue with the 5530, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud and we were happy with them even in noisy environments. The vibro alter was of moderate strength.
Those who already own the Nokia 5800 won't have any reason to buy the pared-down version of the same phone, whose only advantages are a decent pair of earphones in the box and a lower price. The 5530 targets a broader and to a certain extent greedier audience, where consumers want an affordable touch-friendly phone with music smarts. At the same time its positioning is not the same as that of the Samsung Star, so despite retailing at similar price points, these phones are aimed at different people.
The Nokia 5530 is expected to become available for purchase in late August for 200 Euros, which isn't all that cheap, but it'll do. All in all, it has all the makings of a really popular solution - we'll touch upon all of them in our full review of the phone. But for now let us conclude this first look article by saying that in terms of software its only difference from the 5800 is its home screen.
