As speculated last May, Nokia announced a cheaper version of their popular Nokia 5800XM this week — the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is now much cheaper by shedding off some key features.
Everybody’s quite familiar with what the 6-month old Nokia 5800 so a better perspective of the new Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is to list what it doesn’t have that merits it a significant price downgrade compared to its older sibling.
What’s Missing?
No 3G/HSDPA. The Nokia 5530 is missing 3G connectivity and only allows for a slow EDGE connection.
No GPS. Though not really a huge deal, GPS is becoming a staple in most phones. The other recent XpressMusic phones have it — 5730XM, 5330XM and 5800XM.
Of course, you still get the full touchscreen, a 4GB storage via microSD, FM, Bluetooth, and 3.15 MP Carl Zeiss optics camera and WiFi. The only upgrade I was able to see where the 5530XM ruled over the 5800XM is the CPU speed — up from 369 MHz to an ARM 11 434 MHz processor.
I’m not sure whether the lack of 3G is a good trade-off over WiFi. Personally, I’d rather have 3G/HSDPA than WiFi as 90% of my mobile internet usage is via 3G. Expect the phone to be under Php15,000USD 256INR 21,669EUR 243CNY 1,862 when it arrives in the Philippines sometime before end of September.

Kelvin Servigon says:
mganda sya, about sa 3G and wifi, mas gusto q wifi feature sa isang phone. Kc dito smen, mahina lang 3G connection, kaya mas reliable pa ang wifi connection…
Andre Marcelo-Tanner says:
no 3g? bah
MP says:
hmmm. lets see.
Jam. says:
Buti na lang may wi-fi. Minsan kasi deal breaker ito. And about 3g, sana meron kahit up to 384 kbps lang.
Jhay says:
Well you can’t have everything in this world.
The Wi-Fi is already a great feature now that most malls and shops now offer free access to their hotspots.
DanteRPs says:
For under 15K? Not a good deal, as you can get the 5800XM for as low as 15K now.
I’d rather get maybe Samsung Star or Preston, which retail for about 11K now.
Go says:
no 3G? wag na lang muna.
@Jam.
EDGE can carry data speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s (with end-to-end latency of less than 150 ms) for 4 timeslots (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s for 8 timeslots) in packet mode. so palagay mo ok na ang EDGE?
Live Dito says:
youre right! @ DanteRPs
Jam. says:
The problem is, when you’re in the province. Most of the time walang Wi-Fi hotspot especially pag nagvavacation.
sky says:
there are people who actually use 3G?? wow. WiFi is enough for me.
that phone is an absolute winner.
Go says:
@ Sky
Is it really that hard to be believe?! As far as Smart Bro and Globe Tatoo are concerned, there really are 3G users. What boggles my mind though is how you perceive 3G connection. Maybe you should check the 3G icon once in a while whenever you try to connect.
I use 3G (or 3.5G in some areas) on my phone whenever I am out and mind you, 3G is cheaper here in the Philippines compared to the rest of the world.
@ Jam.
Gaano ka ba katagal magbakasyon? nun nasa Boracay ako may 3.5G connection, sa Lucena 3.5G din. sa Candelaria Quezon, ganun din. sa Lipa 3G. sa Batangas City 3G. Kung di ka happy sa speed then look for an internet cafe. easy!
Jam. says:
@Go
Well, sa lipa meron talaga 3G dun. Dun ako nagpplurk before pumasok sa la salle (thru phone) lol. Yeah, I agree with you , kung speed lang naman masbetter sa shop na lang. Pero nagiinternet din ako especially when going to my school. Lalo na pag nasa bus.
Go says:
@ Jam.
One time nagdownload ako ng isang song sa torrent (sa phone ko lang) on my way to Manila, galing ako sa batangas, natapos ko from Turbina to Sta. Rosa Laguna. Ayos din yun speed, 3G yun. so talagang useful ang 3G. I agree din with you. Sana nga may 3G.
John Alvero says:
Magkano 3G/3.5G access from the networks? I use WiFi most of the time. But, magkano ba 3G? Sorry no info.
sky says:
I was thinking 3G was too expensive for the average Filipino. There are many free WiFi hotspots around public places, like malls. Besides, I don’t need Internet access in areas not covered by WiFi. Well, that’s my experience.
sylv3rblade says:
Go is right. Our 3G plans/speed is dirt cheap compared to say… AT&T :D
Go says:
@ John Alvero
10 pesos/30 minutes sa smart
5 pesos/15 minutes sa globe
7.50 pesos/30 minutes sa red mobile
halos parepareho lang. yun sa globe kung gusto mo per kilobit charging leave as it is because it is charging that way on default kung gusto ko mo naman time ang charging send ka ng TIME sa 1111 para ang charging ay 5 pesos sa 15 minutes.
again, look for the 3G or 3.5G(HSDPA) icon on your phone before you connect to enable the service otherwise you are just connecting on GPRS or EDGE.
Go says:
@ sky
well i am an average filipino (if you didn’t mean the majority who shouldn’t even have a mobile phone with 3G in the first place or even a mobile phone if they don’t have something to put on their plate). we are talking about filipinos who can afford a phone with 3G which i suppose will also afford a 3G connection. WiFi isn’t always free. Sometimes you have to buy something in a restaurant in order for you to get the WiFi Key.
Again 3G is relatively cheap here. look at my previous post, andun yun price. kasing mura lang ng 1 coke or isang ponds sachet :)
Nino Natividad says:
Well, this phone looks great if you’re a no GPS and 3G/HSDPA user.

kahit walang 3G connections…. ok lang… di ba ang LG may COOKIE ang SAMSUNG may STAR so cguro time naman na para maglabas ang NOKIA na pantapat sa LOW END TOUCH SCREEN ng ibang MOBILE PHONE MANUFACTURER para lahat maka EXPERIENCE ng TOUCH SCREEN PHONE na di mabubutas ang BULSA… DIBA???
Bugoy says:
Wow, looks like someone is a 3G evangelist. Hehe. Convincing everyone to use 3G instead of WiFi. Easy lang…nagsha-share lang naman tayo ng experiences/reasons why we’re using one type of connection over the other. :D
mike says:
well you can get the XM5800 at 15,000 today, by the time the 5530 comes out it would probably be the same price as the XM5800. so I guess the 5800 would be a better buy between the 2.
The only thing that I like with the 5530 is it’s thinner than the 5800 which is way too thick…
Ardz says:
I’ll also go for the 3G on a phone any time over WiFi. WiFi is too limiting for me. If you need to do a quick check on the internet using your phone, you can do it immediately since 3G is available almost anywhere (even in the provinces) whereas WiFi hotspots are scarce in locations outside the metro and impossible to use while on the move.
Go says:
@ Bugoy
Sorry kung di mo naintindihan yun thread ehehehe. convincing everyone? OA naman nun. Someone just said nobody is using 3G and someone asked the price. If that is convincing to you then I am sorry about the stories you tell your friends.
and besides, we are talking about the 5530, if you are not aware, which doesn’t have the feature. kapag nagshare ka ng experience sa ibang tao, always expect a reaction from them.
read ka muna, ok? hihihihi
misterpinoy says:
If price around 11k good buy! For the WIFI!
evanonsense says:
I wonder kung kagaya din to ng touch screen ng 5800. Ang hirap kse ng touch screen sa 5800. Sometimes when you press the character on the screen, di kumakagat agad. That’s what I hate about 5800. Kung ok ung touch screen nitong 5530, then I might go for this than LG COOKIE.
Has anyone tried the touch screen on this phone? Kagaya din ba ng 5800?
Thanks!
sting6ph says:
I don’t think the phone will come out as 15k. At best it will be 12.5k because the 5800XM is already retailing at 16K in Nokia Store here in Iloilo.
For 3G and Wifi, I’m not a big fan of Wifi or 3G…I am currently stuck to GPRS which is ok since it meets my basic needs.
Anyway, this baby is definitely on my x-mas list.
NokiaFanBoy says:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaXoIPmsgAg watch this navigation..it’s just like iphone.. 5530 rocks!! can’t wait to buy this phone.
I have E51, i don’t even use my 3G, i still prefer wifi because it is free.
Jay says:
Let’s just say tha 3g is for techies who needs internet connection anytime and anywhere, while wifi is for casual internet users.
Monch says:
aayy sayang naman! I want 3G! I was searching for a phone similar to 5800, kasi pag 5800 pa binili ko parehas na naman kami ng sib ko.. dont want that to happen.. hmm. ayos na ang wifi..
Angelo says:
No GPS? Sayang. Anyway, can you suggest a relatively affordable phone with GPS and WIFI? Thanks
Edward says:
Php 12850 lowest cash price ng 5800 ngayon sa cgena.com. By aug-sep eh mga 11k-12.5k na lang siguro ang 5800. Mas sulit na ang 5800 pag ganun dahil sa screen size, 3g, memory card (8gb na agad vs 4gb lang ng 5530). Processor lang daw guys ang lamang nito sa 5800 kasi ARM 11 434 MHz processor nito against ARM 11 369 MHz lang ng 5800. Dapat mga 9k-11k lang price nito para bumenta… or else eh mag 5800 na lang para practical. Stylish lang talaga 5530 sa dami ng colors at nipis nya.
dhi says:
meron nb dto sa metro manila nyn?mag kanu yung exct price nya?
Max says:

JeiBrei says:
i mean 13,800k ehehe churi!
Cefiro says:
Nalilito lang ako sa Nokia. Kaya ba talaga nitong kumabit sa 3G network? When you check this out at their web site using the feature selector, with 3G (WCDMA) checked, kasama syang lumalabas – and when you compre this to other models like N97, naka yes yung HSDPA.
Ano ba talaga koya?
aris says:
I’ve tried using this phone.
I used my SmartBro WiFi Router to connect to the internet. Hanep sa kaka-youtube so far so good.
creepy.chan says:
@ aris
huh pano ka nakagamit available na ba N5530 here sa pinas?
aris says:
The unit came from Singapore.
aris says:
@creepy.chan
The unit came from Singapore as a gift to my neighbor. Di nya ma-enjoy features kaya benta nya sana sa kin.
JeiBrei says:
mga tsong, la pb official release date tong 5530XM?
Chet says:
guys! it’s coming out in the UK on Aug 11 (their time zone). Hopefully the local release would follow soon after
KeitaiKun says:
ei guys…
bibili sana ako ng 5530 pag lumabas na,kaso,i want to experience internet browsing on phones..can someone help me how to use wifi?
QUESTIONS:
1.Panu po ba gumamit ng Wifi?
2.Saan po ba makakakuha ng libreng Wifi?Im from cavite,meron ba nian dito?
3.May bayad po ba yan?And mabilis po ba ung wifi pag nasa areas ka na may wifi connection?
4.Anu po kaibahan ng GPRS,Wifi and Edge.. nu po advantages and disadvantages ng mga yan..?
5.Lastly,pede po ba ako gumamit ng Wifi on buses and in houses,or GPRS lang un?
about the phone,
Carl Zeiss optics po ba yan and dual led flash po ba yan?
Dre says:
@KeitaiKun
I think it’s not Carl Zeiss. Doesn’t say so, at least.
1. Read a manual
2. Hotspots, try to ask your local area.
3. Usually it’s free, unless they say so otherwise.
4. click my name and sift through what they have :)
5. if the house has wi-fi then sure. Don’t know about buses though.
I can only imagine it having wi-fi if it’s near a free hotspot and doesn’t stray too far from it; but that’s just me thinking. I’m sure there are other ways to make that possible. Please look these up if you’re not satisfied with what I gave you.

jemii says:
Of all the phones in NOKIA… this 5530 got my attention… some features are good but still it lacks many features from those of other XM. Ganda ng kanyang shape..very prof!… and it’s cheap… I like also N97/mini! (iphone too) hehehe…
kit says:

L0N says:
i wish to change phone, i’m coming from N73.
which is much better, overall, 5800 v20 or 5300?
ian says:
i think the best pa din ang 5800xm.. although ganon lang design nya still kakaiba pa din yun features nya. 5530xm stylish pero inalisan naman ng other feaures ok sana kung nagupdate pa di ba.
ian says:
meron ako 5800xm nabili ko ng 14600 last july sa sm megamall di pa ba cheaper price yun compare sa 5530? kung 3g at wifi same lang as long as naeenjoy mo na gamitin un features nila.i siguro mas maganda kung paglalabas ang nokia ng more update features na mobile phone with cheaper price. hindi yun ianalisan lang ng ibang features masabing new release lang.

ajca says:
got me a 5530 yesterday and so far i’m satisfied. my old phone was a nokia E90 communicator, which i dub “my ultimate twitter phone”. ok na sana kaso it’s too bulky. i leave it at home now as a spare.
anyway, so far, di ko pa naman nararamdaman yung lack of features. casual internet user lang naman ako kaya i think i don’t need it (3G, HSDPA). i just needed a simple phone na madaling itago, pero panalo parin ang design and may decent specs. kaya nauwi ako sa 5530. grew tired na rin kasi carrying a brick wherever i go.
about sa umaalog na battery, i don’t have that problem, and if i did, madali naman solusyonan yun.
Chris_Lee says:
Ahm, ang ganda naman ng discussion niyo dito about phones… Hmmmm.. Tanong ko lang po if magkano na ang 5530 ngayon? Kasi my mom (kasi ala pa akong work eh, s2dent plang) was planning to buy me another phone (since nawala ung phone ko, akala nung magnanakaw kanya kaya kinuha nya LOL) and I am choosing between Samsung Star, E66, 5800.. and then I found this! Pero parang me doubt parin ako kasi prang hndi ko msyadong gusto ang touch screen.. effort tlga at dpat nkatingin ka sa screen (kabibili lng ksi ng bro ko ng LG Cookie) unlike pag may keypad khit nkpkit ka na sa sobrang antok or sa kalagitnaan ng klase ay pwede ka pa rin mag text (LOL)… Nung nag tanong naman ung mom ko ng E66, ang mahal ha, it’s 15,600 (recent price as of Dec. 2)… tapos, pang business daw ang features.. kaya not so compatible with my lifestyle (dapat ung tipong may NANDA, Drug Handbook, at MedSurg na apps.! LOL)
The main point of this nonsense message is, magtatanong lang po ako sa inyong lahat kung anu ba ung magandang model?? kahit hindi nokia, basta hanep ang music, pati narin ang camera, slide (pero madali daw masira ang slide), maganda ang resolution, 3G capable (naconvince kasi ako sa mga nagpost d2! :->).. basta kahit walang connection, ok lang po… hmmm.. pati maganda ung ichura ha, ung masculine naman (kasi ung last phone ko, may lining ng violet, o dba kikay! Bwahahahahahaha)…
sana, sana, sana matulungan ninyo ako.. hmmm, if possible, can you indicate the recent price of the phone… ha.. sana ung mga around 10-9 lang (but 8-7 is the best!) since student palang ako and medyo syempre nahihiya ako sa mga brothers and sisters ko (bunso ehh)
Tnx a lot! God Bless You and your Phone!

joseph says:
i just got this phone yesterday and kakacharge ko lang rin in 12 hours, ok naman neat and clean also I’ve just updated its firmsware via NSU. ang ganda kahit wlang 3G cpaability ok narin kasi sa school wifi naman at dito sa bahay wifi narin so no worries. and if ever nasa labas ako other than school ok na ung GPRS/EGDE wla pa naman 3G ung sun postpaid dito sa davao … at kung meron na ok narin ug EDGE di rin naman ako maxadong nagnenet especially pag gamit ang cp …
in general, this phone works with me 100% also its audio quality seems like with my laptop dolby home theater as well as the touch screen is amazing and fast (provided you have installed the new FIRMWARE) dito sa davao less than 12,400 .. ok narin at sulit na rin.. its my 2nd touch screen phone after O2 na nasira ung touch screen. :( and its my 4th phone after my Sony Ericsson k800i..
erwinator says:
@joseph You didn’t have to charge you phones for long hours “Initial charging”. batteries now a days are Lithium-ion based including this phone model and you could just charge it two hours for the first time and use it immediately with no significant difference whatsoever.
Initial charging are only capable to old batteries which has nickel cadmium in it since as I’ve read it has that cell memory effect though I’m not sure if I said it right. lol!
kristin says:
i bought my fone last monday.. and im so loving it.. hehehe… but the only problem i encounter is that the battery of my fone drains so fast as in it only last for 1day…
suggestions nmn pls.. wat shud i do.. i really love my 5530 hehe.. kailangan q n b ipatngin s pngbilan q..
kristin says:
can anyone teach me how to update the firmware of my fone..
nobs says:
This is an XpressMusic phone and as such its main feature revolves around music.
Its audio capabilities cannot be questioned. The wi-fi comes as a great bonus as well as other smartphone features.
I like that it has wi-fi and the fact that it has a 3.5 mm earphone jack, which means you can use any earphone with a standard jack without having to use adapters.
nobs says:
XpressMusic phones are designed for playing music and not for extended wi-fi use.
I’m thinking that is you use the wi-fi most of the day, it will definitely drain the battery. Much like how laptops behave when they are constantly connected to a wireless network.
kristin says:
this fone is great.. i love it but i cant update my fone.. ive tried everything that is posted about it in different sites but non of that worked.. when i asked at nokia they say that they can update my fone for P500.. it was too pricey for an software update because maybe in 3months i have to update it again.. i have no doubt on its features i really love it.. that’s why i wanna know is there any option that i can update my fone without paying P500 because im willing to pay if that wud be the last time i will update my fone..pls help me…

I Like Nokia since 3210 and until now, I hate Korean Phones and Cars also….so many Problems….They are like the Class A of China…I am saying this Because we have a Hyundai car and it has so many flaw….and the CP of Koreans are just plain looking and the less Function as well….they are trying hard just to compete with the European Standards…..well, they FAIL.
raymart says:
hi! mgkano na po ba ung 5530 ngaun?
emil says:
I got mine last Dec 26 for Php11300 @ pc gadgets and mobile hub MOA
satisfied naman ako. :)
garri says:
@kristin.
yan din ang problema ko with my phone. ang bilis ma-drain nung battery (especially when watching videos). I thought the reseller switched the battery with an older one so naisip ko, imbes na ipapalit sa nokia (na baka abutin ng ilang linggo) bumili ako ng spare original battery. Turns out it drains fast too.
Shyra says:
i find the illuvial edition of this one really cute and kikay :). As for the 3g its not really a problem on my case since we have wifi at home. We all have diff needs and personality that diff companies provided various phone models to satisfy our wants and needs. So theres no need to argue about the 3g and the wifi thinggy. :) Im gonna buy the illuvial edition of this one later. im pretty much excited!.
angelic says:
pde b gmitan ng uzzap ang 5530?? help nmn po.. tnx s sasagot ha.. tnx ng mdami…
jhen says:
i love my 5530…ok nman yung wifi nya mabilis and sa una lng ako mejo nga ka problem sa phone..nag hung and ngreboot ng kusa..now ok nmn na tumatagal yung battery ng 4 days 2-3 day pag super wifi ako..mabilis na xa lalo nung ma update ko xa via software updater…
Se3D03 says:
The phone is great.
Easy to use, the music sounds great, a good music interface, movies look really good if you convert them properly, some games are really cool to play.
My only real problem is the battery drain when you watch vids. You’ll get less than a day’s worth of battery with constant video views.
Though I still think it’s pretty good, since the psp never lasts very long when you watch videos in it. plus the resolution of the videos are really high. comparable to the letterbox of a SD tv.
Chester says:
magkano na ba ngaun ang 5530 sa malls like SM??
angelic says:

Cathy says:
5800 is much better, I think. I also use WiFi for this 5800.
heyyou says:
I’ve been using the unit for almost 4 months already (bought last December). Wala naman akong major reklamo about the phone (except pag QWERTY mode, super liit ang buttons). I am still enjoying the unit hanggang ngayon. I still download videos, games, themes and applications for the phone. ;) And yes, wala akong reklamo sa wifi niya and sa kawalan niya ng 3g.
just asking says:
magkano yang 5800 ngaun sir?
mark says:
MAGKANO NA NGAYON ANG Nokia 5800?

jonasun12 says:
this phone is nice compare to samsung star etch….. i used samsung star and sometimes it hangs for a while…. im also a iphone user but if you really want the hospitality of a phone that can give you a real comfort try this phone… small,,,, speed is not an issue…. wifi rocks! come on lets face it 3g sucks here in the philippines. what else will you expect? nokia 5530 is a handy phone for “if you know your what you want” else better buy buy replaca phones. you can choose between being a looser or a “techy” person.
jonasun12 says:
and besides the 5800 has a problem with the touch screen area…… try it…..
pfsm says:
5530 XM is around 8500-9400 only..;))
jean van says:
I would rather choose wi-fi than 3g, I have a 3g phone and it doesn’t have any specific use at all, and this phone has a stronger processor… Is it true that it only costs less than 10,000 pfsm? if it doesnt i’d rather go with samsung monte its has both wifi and 3g and costs nearly 10,000 pesos.
JOCEY says:
I want the touch screen and wifi! Is it better than samsung star 5233? How much it it now?
Bhraih says:
How much is this today? I tried looking for one in SM Manila and it costs roughly around P8700-10100.
How much is this in SM North?
Sathi Kawakami says:
Sa SM north edsa, 9,000 up to 11,000 na siya ngayon
Spetz says:
Im not a big fan of phones utilizing the touch screen feature, hence? Im selling mine 5530 Xpress Music. Still in the box, brand new, original casing, all accessories. Whatever the price is at the mall? Peg it 2k lower…I think 7k is good. (0926 737 1444)
dakz says:
it looks like my n5800 but i think it is more cheaper than nokia 5800.
