I've had this phone for two years now and it has been with me through everything, and what i mean by everything is; being dropped so many times i have accually lost count, i have dropped my phone in the bath 2 times :/ and much more stuff that would make any phone unable to even turn on; but amazingly my phone does more than turn on its fully funtual and works just as good as it did when i first brought it. I am very clumsy and can not have a phone for very long before i have to replace it, i could not have asked for a better phone. anyone who is clumsy or whos job is rough i would recomend this phone. touch screen is fully respnsive and the picture quality of the phone is clear and nice, i have had no problems with the touch the past two years i have had it, even with all the stuff ive put the phone through, but that might not the same for every phone. The phone is chunky compared to what you can get now but i guess thats what makes it so hard wearing. Me personall y i think the camera is great, good quality pictures and when my freinds want to take photos i'm the first person they come to, the music sound is loud and very clear but if im honest could be louder but very good, impressve video qaulity, overall a very good hard wearing phone and i really enjoyed using it :) xx

I have had this phone for nearly two years and it is honestly the best phone I have ever had. Despite being a touch screen phone, it is very hardy and has been dropped millions of times and not suffered for it. Furthermore, I have dropped it in water a few times accidently and it has recovered with no problem! Although the camera is not great, this is not usually the main reason why you get a phone, so it doesnt bother me. Amazing phone, gutted my contract is coming to an end...:(

I bought this phone in April 2010 on a 2 year contract. I hate that phone. The main problem is not its features - great on a standalone basis - but the fact that they lag so much behind what the other brands are selling right now... Browsing the net is also extremely painful as the system keeps freezing all the time. I can't wait to exit that stupid contract and replace with any brand but Nokia (too bad as I have been a Nokia fan for 11 years)! They clearly missed it.

I got this phone last year and I have hated it ever since. The internet takes ages to load, the touch screen kept on turning itself off and deciding not to respond, it rang people when I didn't tell it to and the QWERTY keyboard was hard to use. The only good thing was the music, of which the sound quality was poor. A very poor phone. Have now got a BlackBerry and am so glad I've got rid of this stupid Nokia.

Not sure whether to give this phone a rating of 4 or 5. I have had this phone now since march 2010 and i love it. Although, its a load of rubbish about things being free from ovi store cos they are not. The camera is amazing, and so is the flash on it. Can be a bit blinding though! Lol. You can change the homepage set up too, there is not just the one above in the video, there is actually 3 options. The music player and speakers are very good. It is heavier than i expected when i brought this phone. Nokia truly is the best makers of phones though, because i have used Samsung, Motorola, you name it, but Nokia is truly the best! Well done Nokia, great phone, but the phone could come with some more games! (hint hint) (:

I bought mine just before 11 months. I "received" it for Christmas. At first I was very happy, with it, but after only 1 hour I started to see the problems. First it is very good, but put a few apps on it and... God it's slow. My cousin lives in US and has an iPhone 3GS, both of them (the 5530 and the iPhone) have sensor for rotation, you flip the phone and the screen moves too. For the iphone i t works both ways, but for the nokia only in one direction, and after using it "good", it takes 10-12 seconds for the screen to re-appear. Before one week, the phone started turning off all by itself. At first I thought it is me who has done something wrong, but no. Today it just continued turning off, but started to turn off while I was having calls. I left it at the repair center, and I am mad with it. Also the camera is rubbish, the processor is worse than useless...

I really really really don't like this phone! I've had mine for 13 months now and I'm sick of it. Within a month of getting the phone I had to get it replaced because it kept freezing and turning off. After a while the second one kept doing the same thing, so i took it to get repaired and they said it was just a software update and I could do it myself. However, everytime it tells me I need to do it I click on and it doesn't do anything! Tonight my phone was just sitting on my dresser and it started vibrating wierdly and the screen was flashing on and off. I had to take the battery out to stop it, but when I turned it back on it was still doing it but not as constantly as before. The good thing about the phone is the music, the player is good and the radio is good. My phone is really scratched now aswell and one of the scratches is off the stylus!

Powers off whenever it feels like it, the tilt screen is slow to react, zooming in and out of web pages is troublesome, and the earphone socket brakes, the ovi store is a hassle to navigate and to update the software you have to plug it into a PC, why cant it just work? On the plus side, the music player is good, the rest of the phone is simple to use and the camera is good for snaps. the Stylus is a nice touch and the wifi connectivity is a good connective method.

You'll get more than a phone with this model,not so expensive and very,very easy to use. Lacks of: 3G,high megapixel camera,video out,high internal memory.

Please people listen to me, this phone is bad, no it is even awfull. In all the reviews they say that is brilinate, and if you look at all the pieces separeted their good, but when they are together-bad. The camera for example, might be brilliant, but in order to do that you have to spent a fair amount of time in the settings menu, and somethimes the cheap software bugs and than you have to start all over again. The music player is cool, but again the software was too cheap and it very often blocks. And after using it for 6 months one of the two speakers stoped working and when I went to Nokia's service they said I had used it too much and that was a result, first I have almost not used it cause it is to quiet and second if you have a misic phone and you are in quiet place and you are in mood to listen to music ofcorse you are going to use it. I have been owning Nokia phones since I was a small kid but now I won't. Also the display might be good, but the briteness isn't, if it is a sunny day you can't see a thing, and the internet is so slow, I am 1 meter from the router, but it is like 10-20 second for page and it sometimes, rarelly, but stil sometimes says WLAN network lost - 1meter from it it lost it. So it is cheaply made, but it isn't cheap at all after you pay all the things for it.

this phone is rubbish dont get it! yeah it is good for the first couple of weeks but after a while the touch screen stops working and sometimes the buttons turn green :S :/ and it decideds that it would turn itself off when someone rings me and i pick it up or when i ring someone. The battery does not last long at all only about 6 hours so if you are out and use it alot you have no chance :L. the only good thing about the phone is the music and i guess the camara is not that bad aswell. i have to have it now for 2 years and i totally regret getting it, if i was you get a more long lasting phone because this one is great for about 3 weeks after that its rubbish!!!

Had this phone for about 10 months now. No trouble at all. Extremely suitable phone for a region with no 3g. Connectivity is superb ! Very sensitive touch screen. Camera produces sharp high quality images. Battery lasts quite long. Web browsing is ok. Screen lock button should be a press button instead of slide action. Bottom line - very very good phone!!!! Just love it !!

possible the worst phone i have owned,i am so far on my 3rd one of this phone due to 2 been replaced already n this one has started with the same problems again within 3 days of it coming back to me,u press the anser button it turns off,u open facebook it turns off,u open the music player it turns off then u have to reget all the licences for your music again,its a complete joke of a phone,with a horrible camera,i would reccomend that no one buys any nokia phone at the moment,as the 5800 has the same problems n the newer x6 also does similar things,

at first this phone was great about everything about it was perfect. but then a month after i got it ste side slide key broke and kept going out of place. i got used to after a while but then about into the third month of having it i put it on charge to find out that the charger kept sliping out so i took it to the carphone wharehouse where i found out that the charger pin inside it had fallen out. so they sent it off to get repaired and it was all free seen as it was a manufactorers mistake so i was happy with my phone again. until now its my sixth month with it and it has broken once again it now only shows the start up screen and so i have sent it off for repair again and when i get it back i am definaitly not keeping it its not worth the hassle!

this phone worked very well when i first brought it. However, three months after i had this phone it began to play up and i have just totally given up on the phone. i sent the phone back and then they had said that they had repaired to phone but as soon as i charge up the phone and try to switch it on, nothing happens.

Had the phone for a month now. No problems at all and it does everything I need it to do. The WiFi and browsing is a big plus for me, also getting emails direct from Gmail to the phone is great. Video playback is really good. Skype works on it too, which cuts costs phoning abroad etc. Only thing I had to do was swap from O2 to T-mobile as O2 just give you a rubbish service.

I bought the phone 8 months ago. I was very happy of it's performance, as it was cheap, fast and reliable. However, after 2 months, the phone began resetting itself sometimes, the browser couldn't load pages heavier than 1 megabyte (crashed the browser after exeeding that limit), the selection menu came up slowly, scrolling contacts became slow... numerous things. After 4 months it began telling me that the internal memory was full. I connected the mobile phone to my computer and backed everything up. I removed all data by just deleting unnecessary folders, pictures and music. And still, something was clogging OVER 40 MEGABYTES out of 70MB. After doing a hard reset with the code *#7370#, I was able to free up that space. But what was it clogging it? I have no idea. I'm still having similar issues with the speed of the device, and I am going to return it someday soon, maybe on next week. I think nokia could improve the scrolling momentum thing so it would work more smoothly.
