    Its really a nice phone. I was planning to buy a new phone but now I guess I’ll have to wait for this one to launch. It’ll be available in the Indian market from September’09 for 13000-14000 INR.

    And its better than 5800. 5800 hangs a lot and 5530 has a better processor than the 5800.

    I’ll definately go for this one.

    it’s already mid of Q3 of 2009..when the hek is this cell phone goin to be released…why the hell nokia is always late in releasing it’s every products!!!!

    Please Nokia listen to us and launch the phone in the market fast!!!!

  • Rishabh

    hi…
    I HAVE GONE THRU A HUGE RESEARCH TO GET DETAILS OF NOKIA 5530 XPRESS MUSIC..BUT IT EXPECTED LAUNCH IS IN SEPTEMBER…AS IT CHEAPER THAN 5800 AND LACKING GPS..BUT AGAIN GPS IN NOT SOMETNING FOR WHICH 17-18 K SHUD B INVESTED..
    THOSE WHO R LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER PHONE SHOULD OPT SAMSUNG STAR 5233..
    DIFFRANCE BTWN NOKIA AND SAMSUNG IS SAMSUNG STAR IS LACKING..WI FI..4 GB .INTERNAL MEMORY..FLASH ,,,AND REST IS SAME…AND THAT WILL COST BETWEEN 9-10 K…WHICH IS PRETTY HANDY DEAL..
    NOKIA PLEASE LAUNCH THIS PHONE ASAP WITHIN A BUDGET OF 13 K..

  • AJAY

    LETS C ON LOUNCHING

  • http://no Thona

    Why Nokia 5530 don’t have 3G?

  • Kabir

    ya samsung S5233 is good too but i prefer Nokia 5530 mainly for it’s good S60 v5 OS9.4,good multitasking feature,it’s XM, display is far better(640 by 360 + 16M colours in just 2.5inches screen), has wi-fi, ships with a 4GB card, 3.5mm audio jack, high speed processor, handles Office files + PDF…and hopefully more stylish..

    i was considering of getting LG KP500 but i found out about this phone so i’ve been waiting for this phone for about 2months now for the same reasons as mentioned above nokia is still better than KP500 at that price at least for me..

  • THIRUMURUKAN & UMASHANKAR

    In which month this Phone will be available in gujarat and what will be price tag?

  • Rishabh

    by the mid of september to mid of october it would be available in GJ and almost entire INDIA….The cost by NOKIA is about Rs.13000 to Rs.15000

  • Nabarun

    hv a nice day everbody………….

  • kushal

    come on reply fast im waiting man

  • Dave

    Yes this phone seems great.

    I know this is probably an Indian website, but I must say the level of English here is ridiculous. Does anyone who posts here even know English? It’s an insult to Nokia. I was seriously laughing at some of the posts.

    Here’s what I have to say: “Learn some English mahn…that would be cool mahn!! It would be very cool ya!”

    Do all Indians talk like this?

  • Dave

    OK, I’m sorry if I was a bit harsh in my previous post. I actually have lots of Indian friends who are intelligent, educated and speak very well, so I have nothing against Indians as a community.

    I just tend to get a bit irritated when I go to messageboards, looking for useful information (in this case about a cellphone) and all I get is a bunch of posts which could have been written by a 5 or 6-year-old. Someone actually posted this: “what this is?phone or calculator.it very costly .i have 1100 it very good”. I mean, come on! LMAO!

    Now back to the phone: I am seriously considering this phone for my son as I feel he does not need a 5800 (he definitely does not require 3G services) and he does not currently own an iPod so this would seem like a good investment.

  • Robbie

    Thank you , come again xD

    I just couldn’t hold that back, blame me for that after watching “Harold and Kumar”

    Anyways, I am just eagerly waiting for this phone to arrive in the Eastern Europe

  • Vinay

    Hi,
    @Dave. There are LOADS of literal people in India. Most of us do know english pretty well… And the phone has been launched in different places across the globe. It has not been launched in India as yet though. Expected to be out in a week or two, I’d say.

  • vck

    hmm 5800′s younger sibling eh ?? looks a lot better .. omission of 3g is unacceptable … pretty neat package though ..

  • vaibhav

    It is really very good & affordable piece .
    I will go 4 it.

  • jay

    when this phone is coming please tell me

  • Shoumya Jana

    Firstly the nokia 58oo tube was never an outright success. Priced atrociously high with nothing much to write about. The feature everyone was looking forward to comes with music did not quite take off. So it seems nokia wants to capture the market with a stripped down version of 5800. With Samsung and LG handsts being lapped up in the market nokia ideally could not have been far behind. The finnish manufacturer has the propensity to take the fight to any end to capture key market segment.
    So yes waiting for 5530 as it has the right mix of features & price. As long as it does’nt overshoot 15k its should be a good buy.

  • kushal shah

    hi guys
    pls tell me is samsung star S5233 is good deal to buy or not

  • Shoumya

    no confirmation if its really priced at 13.5k!

  • Mani

    Guys,

    I am seriously confused here.
    There are 2 models coming from Nokia 5530 and 5230 and i see
    the following difference that is so confusing as to why.

    5530: ~Rs. 14K
    No GPS
    No 3G
    Video recording is only at QCIF strangely at 15fps
    Smaller screen size and so no nHD.

    on the other hand,

    5230: ~Rs. 10-11K
    Has Integrated A-GPS
    Has HSDPA, cat. 6, maximum speed 3.6 Mbps (DL) – 3.5G ????
    Video recording is at VGA and 30fps
    Screen size is 3.2″ with 16:9 nHD

    Can someone explain how can this be happening.

    Meanwhile, while doing a compare in nokia site for the above two

    Its shows, both have HSDPA and both have video recording at VGA 30fps resolution.

    Now Nokia is picturing different specs which is inconsistant.

    Please share your thoughts.

    Thanks

  • Azar

    Hey please let me know the Planet M store in delhi from where i can get this phone…

    @Punkguy…..please tell me from where have you got it

  • Mani

    Hey guys.. dont you think one should go for 5230 instead. Is there anything wrong in the site info.

  • Mani

    Why is it that the video recording resolution in 5530 XM is just 176 X 220 at 15fps with a 3MP camera…. is it true ?

  • Mani

    Hey Punkguy, can you pls check one thing for us. Can you check the video recording resolution if its VGA or QCIF. This seems to be a big
    concern since the camera is a 3.2MP as compared to 2MP of 5230 which has VGA video recording.

    Please let us know soon.

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    220 x 176 video recording only at 15 FPS .. confirmed

  • Mani

    Thanks Varun for the confirmation. Thats too bad of Nokia to have such a low low video recording resolution. Appears as though 5230 is a video phone and 5530 is a still camera phone.

  • Punkguy

    It got it fro saket pvr, and its video recording is really nice, if u need any suggestions, can directly mail me

  • Mayank

    nokia 5530- 14000

  • Abhishek

    I got this phone (Black with Red trim) from the U.K. a week back as its still unavailable in India. Should be launched pretty soon though. Its available in UK for about 140-150 pounds which is about 11.5k-12k INR. Considering the fact that prices of Nokia phones are always higher in India compared to most of the foreign countries, it shouldn’t be less than 13k-14k INR.

  • Arif

    Guys,

    Have a look at gsmarena.com, look for 5530 specs. They say that video recording is at 30fps (Verified). I was not able to beleive why it is 15fps having 3.2 MP camera.

  • Sc

    i want to know as in when dis phone will be in market In mumbai

  • Arif

    Hello All,

    I checked with a Nokia Priority Dealer in Delhi. Phone will be available in last week of Septermber. It will cost around 11k, which makes sense becuase 5800 is available in the same shop at Rs 13,300/-, and I am sure 5530 should cost less (becuase of less feature no 3G and no GPS).

  • Rishabh

    No dear, it would not cost around 11k…. yeah Nokia 5800 is now 13.3k..but Nokia 5530 in Delhi will cost 14k till october & price may decrease to 11k in December

  • Arif

    Hi Rishabh,

    The Nokia Priority Dealer only told me the cost of 11k, I was not guessing it.

  • Anmol

    Hi Arif,
    Could you please tell me which Nokia priority Dealer in Delhi told you about this. I would be thankful to you and also when is it coming to delhi. I was told that it would come around 20-21st september in the planet m stores.

  • Mayank

    the price is 14k

  • eric

    man!!!i’m still waiting for nokia 5530……

  • Arif

    Hi Anmol,

    I was told by NPD Lajpat Nagar. They told me that it will be coming at the end of September.

  • Arif

    Mayank,

    From where you got to know 14K cost??

  • Anmol

    –>Arif, Mayank
    Guys i have neither heard that phone’s cost is 11k nor 14k. i heard its around 13.2K. (Planet M).
    Also if this is so one can go for N5800 XM(advantages: 8GB MC,Carl Zeiss Optics,3.2″ screen (updated firmware includes kinetics scrolling)) as it is costing 13.5K in Planet M Vasant Kunj-Dlf Mall, though nokia 5530 has advantages (Slim, Very Cool Looks, Better Headphones, Kinetic Scrolling (till now), better tactile feedback, Stereo Speakers (Louder than 5800)),so if the wait becomes very long one can opt for 5800 as the price will b very close. Now decision is upto you guys. Anyone can confirm the price from planet m.

  • vatsal

    i’ll suicide if i don’t get the phone in 2 weeks!!!SERIOUSLY!!!!

    PLEASE GUYS TELL ME WHEN’S THE PHONE COMING TO DELHI??

    I brought a 5800 XpressMusic for 13.3 K @ Bhubaneshwar. This is a iPod killer, has 3G and GPS.

    I use Pre-Paid BSNL 2G card which catches 3G signal and surfs at 3.5G (as mentioned in the phone signal bar). Download speed is amazing. The phone is real good.

    Go for it… you will not be disappointed. 3.2 M Camera and 8 GB Micro SD card bundeled.!

    Thank you Nokia! Iphone can go to hell!

  • Anonymous

    wats d price ???

  • Nikunj

    Guys…plz tell me wen it is goin release in Delhi..
    i am really very desperate to buy Nokia 5530 xpressmusic…
    n plz tell me only truth guys…..

  • Ishan

    I dont think 5530 still out in India because no one apart from the tech savvy and very few others know that such a phone exists … One moron shopkeeper says that this phone does not exist and is china made model and he had a very cheep copy of the same but insists that there is no original … Even the Nokia Priority Dealers have no idea … I’ve spent almost 2 months searching this phone in Mumbai but alas !! no success … I hope its launched soon and at a ~10k price or else I wont have to think even once before buying 5800

  • Santo

    Before buying Nokia 5530, check this link… it is recommended to wait till Nokia releases the latest firmware.

    http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=156140&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

    I wish Nokia will justify the delay in releasing this phone to Indian stores by fixing all the bugs in the phone.

    No one wants a phone with so many bugs as discussed in the above discussion board.

  • Santo

    I got a call from Univercell for Nokia 5530, they say it will be available next week for 17,000/- look at its site given below.
    I asked the person are you joking she said the cost is actually less when compared to others(?).

  • sagar

    So, whats the deal ?

    is 5530 out ? and what price ?

  • vatsal

    okay.now mr.admin.it has been quite some time since u started this post saying that the phone has released.well,i can see it nowhere around.would feel good if u can provide some explanation for it.thank u

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    Nokia is reportedly awaiting shipments of these phones to arrive from abroad

  • sagar

    Vatsal :

    I am from Pune and I have seen the phone in one of the shop. But, as per him, it is available ‘without bill’ (which i guess, would be ‘gray market’), as it is not officially launched.

    i am waiting for 1. its official launch 2. till the software problems occuring due to old firmware will get resolved, hopefully. :-)

  • vatsal

    you expect me 2 believe that nokia is waiting for the shipments for the past 4 months!!!!!(june 15-october 15 )??oct 15 is sthg that the npd told me

  • Santo

    Its now almost confirmed that Nokia will NOT release this phone in India in near future. Even Nokia dealers have no clue about this phone release date.

    In Nokia.co.in for Diwali offers Nokia 5530 phone is not included but all the other phones are included.

    http://www.nokia.co.in/diwali?t=na&ca=diwali&lid=na_diwali_displayad_diwali_teaser_main_banner_228%C3%9797&lpos=row1_position3

    All these days I was waiting for this phone, but no more waiting. It is time to say good bye to Nokia and look for another brand with similar features. :(
    Nokia has cheated India.

  • jinit

    the phone is out in market with offer price of 15k

  • Satya

    @jinit, from where have u got this info.

  • vatsal

    how do u know

  • Santo

    @jinit

    It is not worth for 15K when compared to 5800 which is now available for 13500.
    This phone is not available any where. I called Nokia Concept store and the person said he has no official info about this release and doesn’t even know how much will it cost.

  • Samantha

    Hey Its not been released…. I found out from several sores in Banalore…. It should according to them be released within 2 months…

  • Ashish

    No… this phone is not released yet… i checked with some stores and they have no clue about this! so i think it might take 1 more month… may be Nov end… And expectedly the price should not exceed 10k as 5800 with lot more features costs 13.5k

  • Tanvi

    hey ishaan, if u r really keen on buying the phone,
    I know dealers how have it in their shop
    And yes its true, nokia priority dealer say it has not yet
    been launched

    Hi Vatsal,

    Its very much in the market … just got 1 for 12500 … its awesome

  • Dnyanesh

    No Jinit … its 12500 …

  • Dnyanesh

    5530 is not a 3G phone

  • Shoumya Jana

    Its a fact that nokia 5800 is now available for 13k which makes the purchase for N5530 a little weird. COnsidering everything N5800 has everything then why go for sumthing smaller and cheaper. Another issue which I need to see it to believe it is video recording for 5530 is being mentioned as VGA.

  • Subash

  • Manoj

    Hi, Sagar,

    but in 12500, it is with warranty or not

  • Santo

    Is there any valid reason why Nokia is not releasing 5530 in India?

    I don’t understand why Nokia Priority dealers and Nokia concept stores sales guys pretend as if there no phone like Nokia 5530.
    I checked with several stores in 2 different cities and these guys don’t have any clue about this phone.

    Nokia call center is of no use they read out from the script saying that I need to check with local dealers.

  • Gangesh Garg

    what is the market paric of nokia 5530 in india???

  • VIKAS

    hey can any1 tell me is dis phone available in delhi n if yes den frm which place>????

  • Santo

    Nokia 5800 available for less than Rs.13,500/-. But Nokia 5530 with less features when compared to 5800 costs Rs.14029/-.

    Did Nokia ever think that people are not so ignorant to buy this phone with high costs? It failed to release this phone on time and still Nokia does not have any clear idea about its availability date for its Indian customers.

  • varun

    Nokia is on coke or smthin…

    5530 was “officialy” launched like wht 4 months back..& still hasn’t hit market!

    I can’t wait that long…i’m getting my HTC..

    puke over nokia.

  • Santo

    Definitely there should be a serious issue for Nokia not releasing its 5530 phone in India. It is either to clear of its 5800 stock or Nokia 5530 has some major bugs which Nokia engineers are not able to fix it. Phones that were introduced after the introduction of 5530 are available in the market.
    This clearly shows that there is something messy with Nokia 5530 release.
    Whatever may be the reason definitely it is not going to do any good for Nokia.

  • Santo

    Nokia is going crazy by once again confirming the price of Nokia 5530 for Rs.14,029/-. They think people are idiots to buy this phone which is more than the present 5800 phone. Check the Financial Express News given below.

    http://www.financialexpress.com/news/Nokia-focus-on-touch-devices-in–10/564339/

    Kolkata: Nokia is betting big on the touch interface in 2010, starting the year with the launch of Nokia 5230 and 5530 XpressMusic. “In 2010, there will be a great deal of activity in the touch portfolio of Nokia. The company is focused on taking the touch experience to the masses by launching new solutions at competitive price points,” said Viral Oza, head-activation, media & online marketing, at the launch in the city on Wednesday.

    By 2012, 40% of the mobile devices will incorporate touch interface, according to the company. Nokia 5230 is priced at Rs 9,389 and 5530 XpressMusic at Rs 14,029. Oza hinted at touch devices at a lower price range as well in the future, but declined to give details.

  • Prashant

    HI,
    I was also waiting for this 5530. First they told that it would be available by x-mas but unfortunately not. Now it seems they are not going to launch this in near future. I coud not wait more. I purchased N86.

    Regards,
    Prashant

  • vatsal

    I too was waiting 4 this phone since august.i waited till diwali and that was enough.i then bouht a samsung star wi-fi.

  • Santo

    I am stilling waiting, because of the love for Nokia brand. But I am really getting frustrated. I am just waiting because Nokia officials have assured me that this phone will be available by 2nd week of Jan 2010.

  • Praveen

    Tanvi is right. Its availble. i have it

  • rahul

    even i am stilling waiting for this phone bcoz i like it a lot. had enquired with nokia priorty dealer in 1st week of jan 2010, he showed me dummy handset and told me that it will be launched in a weeks time.

    later after a week i again called them and now he says, it will launched by the end of this month i.e. jan.

    only god knows when it will be launched. But I am really getting frustrated now. will wait for this month only and if its not launched will go in for another handset…

  • Kanksha

    i really need 2 know when is this phone goin2 b launched? does anyone have any idea regarding it? i’ve been waiting for it to launch officially since start of november and it is january now! it’s really frustrating. please can someone give me a tentitive date so that i can atleast prepare myself to wait till then. thanks

  • Santo

    I got an update from Nokia official that the release of Nokia 5530 in India is further delayed and there is no reason given for this delay. :(

  • manik

    hey guys its available in nokia stores only… so go and enjoy :D

  • Santo

    @ manik

    Can you tell in which Nokia store 5530 phone is available???

    Those Nokia officials are itself not sure about the release date for this phone(based on the email that I received), then how come you find it in Nokia store?

    Please don’t spread rumors or try to fool die-hard Nokia fans as did by those Nokia officials.

  • Harsha

    I bought it from UK at half the price.

    In india it would be launced at 14,000 INR

    Nokia 5530 is the better and Nokia officials says its MRP is Rs.14029/-. It should be lesser than the MRP. But no one knows when this phone be officially available in India. :(

  • Santo

    Good News!
    I just got a call from one of the Nokia distributor that Nokia 5530 is launched in Bangalore today. He said it will cost around Rs.13,000/-.

  • Santo

    Hi Sofila,

    It is available in Brigade road Nokia Concept stores and in few of the Nokia Priority stores. I bought it from the Concept stores on Sunday. It is really awesome except its battery life.

  • ajitesh

    hey santo can you please tell me if is it available here in any of the stores in delhi.

  • Santo

    Hi ajitesh

    As per the information that I got from the Nokia official and its distributor it is only available in Nokia Priority Stores and Nokia Concept stores. I was also told that it will take time to release this phone in other mobile stores.

  • prateek

    hi santo…

    can u plz tell me when this phone will be launched in delhi…….

  • Sofila

    hi Santo,

    Can you plz tell me wat is the difference b/w nokia 5530 and nokia 5800.

  • Sofila

    Hi Santo,

    How much you paid?

  • Santo

    @Sofila

    I paid Rs.12,200/- I had inquired in other stores they said it will cost less than 12000 but no one knew when will it be available in non-nokia stores. Nokia concept store manager said it will never be available in other stores in near feature.

    Nokia 5530 is really good looking when compared to 5800. When it comes to features then 5800 has 3G and GPS(both are joke in India). 5530 Wifi is really good and I had no issues in using it.

  • Santo

    @ prateek

    I have no idea about the launch date in Delhi. I would recommend you to check with Nokia concept stores or Nokia Priority stores.

  • Santo

    I had been after this phone for more than 6 months and I had contacted everyone possible in Nokia including its CEO. So, when I was informed about its availability I didn’t bother to mind its cost, even though I knew it is available for less outside India and its cost will come down in another few weeks or months.

  • saurabh

    its looking exciting.. please can anyone tell how is it in use? is it worth the wait for?? i hav been waiting for it long… so please update about its usage and worth ….

  • Santo

    I have been using this phone for past 20 days and I had installed many applications and uninstalled many. Used with Wi-Fi connection and blu-tooth. My verdict is this phone is a really good and there is no software issues like freezing or restart. Battery gets drained quickly if wi-fi or blu-tooth is used.

    It is completely blank if used directly under sun. So, you are a person who spends most of your time out doors then better go for a keypad phone.

    It is worth buying it if 3G is not considered. I believe 3G is a joke in India with only BSNL providing it as of now. For me Wi-fi is a better choice.

    I strongly recommend this phone if anyone is looking for its looks, sleek design and its features.

  • Santo

    This phone is only available in Nokia Concept stores and Nokia Priority Stores.

    go for white wid blue, black and red is very common.

  • TheMaskedDod0

    The phone keeps freezing and my memory card corrupted after not even what i can call 5 months! it feels kind of plasticy in your hands and when sending a message the font will appear smaller to the reciever due to the difference in screen size. The phone does not have adobe flash reader or a wireless navigation system. The camera and video camera are just at a standard expected level.

    But the headphones are a plus! The radio reception is pretty good in most places and volume can go to a good standard.
    Its your choice…IF your looking to buy this phne!

  • Matt

    When 5530 came out it was better in some aspects like speed and kinetic scrolling etc. But now after many firmware updates 5800 is the best! I’m talking about 5800 v50! Now it can easy beat 5530 in all aspects!!

    And hey the world is switching to 4G after 3.5G! So use the 3G buddy! Its now or neva! :)

  • NANDHU

    I Think 5800 XM is the best.
    The Major difference b/w 5530 and 5800 is the camera,5530 has 2mp but 5800 has 3.2mp with dual flash and it has 3G and better Wi-fi.
    So I prefer u 5800 XM.
    Thanks!
