Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

Today we’ll be looking into the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, the second touch screen model of the Nokia’s music series. The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is the latest to be added to the Nokia mobile phone assortment, following in the footsteps of the 5800 XpressMusic with a slightly lower price tag than its predecessors.

Sporting the Symbian S60 OS 5th edition, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has not only the brain of a smart phone, but also a great touch screen mobile phone. It has a 2.9-inch display which you may find a little on the small side, considering it doesn’t fill the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic frame, it is a great device that well functions both as a reliable communicator and as an excellent music player.

And just like with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, both the microSD and SIM card slots are on the left side of the phone. The volume rocker and the slider that locks and unlocks the phone screen and touch sensitive keys are on the opposite side, along with the camera shutter. The 3.5mm jack is on the bottom side, with the microUSB and charger ports on either side. Finally, the bottom left corner hides the plastic stylus that is not telescopic, but is long enough.

Unfortunately, there are downsides to a low budget mobile phone like the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic does not offer 3G connectivity, but is equipped with Wi-Fi. While not as high-end as the Nokia 5800, this device is equip with a 3.2MP camera with LED flash, 3.5 mm audio jack that´s mandatory for all music-oriented devices these days, and a touchscreen display offering resolution of 640×360.

And the color support remains the same with 16M colors and image quality in artificial light is decent. The display sensitivity has been seriously improved and the manufacturer has incorporated TFT resistive technology again. You still need to press firmly, but this feels much easier now and doesn’t require much pressure.

Assessment on Nokia 5530 XpressMusic:

- Cheaper than the 5800 XpressMusic
- Feature a 2.9-inch touch-screen, a 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera, a 3.5mm headphone socket, a FM radio
- Connectivity options: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS/EDGE, WLAN, high speed MicroUSB connector
- 70MB of internal memory along with a 4GB microSD card
- A pop-up Media bar to quickly access music, photos, videos, Internet
- A built-in music player support for MP3, AAC and WMA
- Excellent audio quality
- Doesn’t charge via USB
- Not optimized for finger touch browsing

I believe that is what Nokia XpressMusic phones are all about. To deliver a phone with Music Player/Entertainment capabilities on it with an affordable price for all music lover.

New Nokia E75 And E72 Leaked Out

red57 — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 03:53:29 +0000

A demo video of the latest and greatest business messaging devices by Nokia leaked online revealing the yet unannounced Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. This is indeed a hot news! But the sad news is that while I’m writing this blog, the said leaked video’s had been pulled out from YouTube.
Although the YouTube video is most likely an attempt of viral marketing, the polished performance shows one device called the E72 and another dubbed the E75, a slider.
The E75 has a silde-out QWERTY keypad while maintaining some resemblance to the already existing E66 and the E72 has a full QWERTY keypad below the display. Everything about the video looks real as far as we can say and both the E75 and E72 seems like great devices. An accelerometer recognizes which orientation the phone’s being held in, suggesting that the phone’s also set-up for viewing pictures and videos in either orientation.
The E72’s a wider handset than the E72, but looks more like a business oriented talker similar to the existing E61i and E71. The E72 doesn’t sport a slide out keyboard.
According to a promotional video that’s been leaked online, we could say that apart from the QWERTY keypad, both the cell phones have WiFi, GPS, an accelerometer, and may be even HSDPA support, running as usual on Symbian OS.
It might not be a long time till Nokia announces these two new nokia handsets, but until then, we will be happy to bring you more information and updates via leaks and slip-ups that seem to happen much too often nowadays.
I’ve managed to find a couple of pictures and added in this post to show you what you’ve missed on the video leaked on YouTube.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte – Technology With Fashion

red57 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 05:32:07 +0000

We are impressed of how Nokia has focused on luxury models the past year. Nokia has just recently introduced another addition to their luxury line – the 8800 Carbon Arte to continue this rather extravagant tradition. The 8800 Carbon Arte has a fraternal twin sister, the 8800 Sapphire Arte. Besides these two, we still find the model to have a similar feel with the earlier Sirocco series.
So what can we expect from this new member of the 8800 family? Well, there is not much. In fairness though, Nokia did upgraded the handset platform to a newer series and added in some great refurbishments. In terms of design, what we liked most about the 8800 Carbon Arte is its slightly bigger, more tactile Keypad and a control keypad accessible even if the phone is closed. However, the original sapphire D-pad first found on the Sapphire Arte was replaced by carbon and titanium which make up most of its body. The 8800 Carbon Arte is the sexiest model of the 8800 family. It has a compact weight of 150g, which we find good or else you might think you have wasted too much money on a plastic model. In keeping with the tradition of the Nokia 8800 Arte range, each detail of the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte phone is carefully considered to enhance the premium value and quality of the device.
Engineered from carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte mobile phone is for individuals who appreciate uncompromised high performance. Carbon fibre is an ultra light and strong material that expresses a woven pattern that is both high-tech and sensuous. Custom built to ensure the precision engineering that these materials require, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte features 3D patterns that express the inherent performance and lustre of carbon fibre. But with Nokia’s anti-fingerprint coating, smudges on metal and glass reduces and unsightly outer seams are hidden by a unique all-in-one microUSB connector. Their living wallpaper feature is very interesting, where background images organically change during the day, giving a unique appearance to the display.
The enhancements of the Series 40 3rd edition platform include 3G connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera that can shoot 2048×1536 pixel stills and VGA videos and high quality audio, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte boasts a stunning OLED technology display and built-in memory that has been expanded to 4 GB.
Combining timeless style with superb functionality, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte offers the unique tap-for-time feature – consumers can tap the steel surface below the display twice and a clock appears on the screen. The turn-to-mute silencing mechanism allows individuals to silence incoming calls in a discrete manner by turning the phone over, screen-side down. What we find most notable with the 8800 Carbon Arte is its increased battery capacity. It has an estimated talktime of 3 hours and 20 minutes and can last 300 hours on standby. However, despite its 3G, we found it frustrating that this model does not support video calls.
Though the 8800 Carbon Arte is much like all the rest of the luxury 8800 models from Nokia, this addition to the family definitely is an improvement of the race. With its elegant and intuitive interface, its luxury build and material, the 8800 Carbon Arte is truly another masterpiece, a symbol of success for today’s mobile elite.
