Nokia 5530 XpressMusic tech specs, pics and video

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is set to launch later this year as the third touchscreen device from Nokia. It runs the Symbian S60 platform, like the Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97 and is very much the entry-level product in the range, having an expected price of less than £170. But what makes the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic tick? Join us as we look at the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic tech specs, pics and video…

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic tech specs, pics and video has plenty of features you’d expect from a cutting-edge music phone but this Nokia is expected to be the entry-level touchscreen smartphone from Nokia.

Homescreen
Nokia has been working a great deal on the Homescreen of late. The screen of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a 2.9-inch touchscreen display that makes the most of a brand New Homescreen. It comes with Nokia’s new Contacts Bar design, which allows you to have 20 of your friends instantly accessible at the touch of a button.

Media Bar
What’s more, like the Nokia 5800, there is also a Media Bar that allows instant access to your multimedia, making this one of the most user-friendly Nokia phones to-date. With 70MB of internal memory, you’ll need plenty of external storage, so a 4GB microSD card ships with the handset and it can support a total of 16GB of external storage.

Camera Action!
Other features include a 3.2-Megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth and 802.11g Wi-Fi are fitted as standard. The built-in stereo speakers come with surround sound, so we’re expecting something on a par, in music terms, with the Nokia 5800.
