5530 vs 5800 – Nokia Mobiles Compared

The current hot product on the cell phone market is the brand new Nokia 5530 – The third ‘”Touch” phone by Nokia.

As you may already know, 5530 is a bit cheaper than 5800.

But what are the differences except the price?

The Nokia confirmed it has 5530 no UMTS / HSDPA.
If you want to surf the mobile is of course a clear downside.
Similarly, no GPS on board.
When 5530 is “only” a 4GB card in, the 5800 had 8GB of memory.
And has the display from the 5530 “only” 2.9 “compared to the 3.2″ from the 5800th.Otherwise, thanks to symbian on the functions and capabilities produces pretty much the same …..
So if you don’t mind having  GPS or UMTS, then I would still buy Nokia 5530 -  it is  smaller  and more stylish.
I personally use a lot of UMTS (Internet) and I regularly use GPS.
So I am completely satisfied with my 5800.
Would certainly be nice if that were slim and stylish as the 5530, but when I decided to do without GPS and UMTS must, then I would rather stay in 5800.

Here is a comparison of Nokia 5530 and its older brother called Nokia 5800 and their main features.

iPad day is coming this Friday — are you in?

Goodness me there’s quite an iPad echo-chamber going on around the marketplace. Almost everyone I speak to is craving or mentioning the iPad in one way or another. The launch, of course, has been ridiculously delayed. If you believe Apple’s brilliantly convenient ‘message’, they completely stuffed up their distribution logistics which led to them having to regretfully push back the UK (and international) launch of the device. This from a company with billions and billions of dollars in the bank and a team of geniuses. Are you telling me they can conceive of the iPad but not get their logistics in order? Anyway.

Whatever the reason, all is about to be forgotten. The iPad-is-a-coming. I saw my first one (that doesn’t belong to me or another mobile industry chap) in the wild today at the Westfield shopping mall. The Apple Store is quietly proclaiming the arrival with a little sign.

In London I think we’re going to see more and more of them around shortly.

Have you ordered one?

If so, what model did you go for?

And — if applicable — what network are you selecting for your iPad?
