This unlocked quad-band Nokia 5530 GSM phone is compatible with 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. (Note: The phone works with GSM only carriers which include T-Mobile and AT&T in the USA and appears to only support GPRS/EDGE – no 3G data). For an unlocked phone with digital audio and video features this is not a bad deal. Couple it with the new T-Mobile plans that let you bring your own phone to non-contract rates – and you get the best of both worlds with a non-contract plan and a cool (if not the speediest) Nokia phone.

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is a compact XpressMusic device that uses a touch interface for accessing people and content on the brilliantly clear homescreen. The ‘scrolling’ contacts bar provides direct access to 20 people and their latest conversations and media updates. The homescreen also features one touch shortcuts to content and popular social networks. The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic follows in the footsteps of the top-rated Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, expanding the touch XpressMusic phone range with a youthful device that has a solid stainless steel frame finish.

The innovative ‘people carousel’ features thumbnail images of up to 20 close friends and provides easy access to them and their communications history including emails, phone calls, photos or other social media updates. The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic also features the pop-up media bar so music, photos, videos, Internet and on-line sharing applications.
