July 20, 2009 at 7:32 pm

@Paul

July 21, 2009 at 4:34 am
In the table of comparison, you gave as Nokia 5530 XpressMusicfor both the sections. Not 5800.. please correct it. It might confuse the readers.
July 21, 2009 at 6:57 am
@chetan
Thanks a lot mr. chetan for your help…the correction has been made.
July 21, 2009 at 1:38 pm
can we put 5800's battery into 5530 ? for better talk time/backup ??? or the battery sizes are different ???
July 21, 2009 at 4:34 pm
@hanu_blr
Every phone is made to work on a certain level of power generated by the battery,so if the output power of both the phone’s ,Nokia 5800 and Nokia 5530, batteries is different then i doubt exchanging the battery…..anyhow using other phone’s battery is not a good practice
July 26, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Nokia 5530 is not available yet here,so i have not used it personally….But both Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia 5530 XpressMusic share similar browser and same class of technology like GPRS, EDGE and HSCSD……But if you want to use 3G technology, which faster than compare to other, then Nokia 5530 XpressMusic dont have one.

August 8, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a very good phone in its price category,we are here comparing two phones with different price tag but with almost similar features…Nokia 5800 XpressMusic definitely has an advantage over Nokia 5530 XpressMusic because of GPS and 3G….now its up to you ,what you choose .
