Browse the internet with ease in your 5530 XM using the latest Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers. Opera boasts the fastest browsing experience for your phone plus save money on mobile data by taking advantage of their latest compression technology.

Personally, i prefer using Opera Mini over Opera Mobile since I usually connect to the web through wi-fi.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic review: Winner by design - GSMArena.com

so i bought a nokia 5530 xpressmusic phone... now what?

2010-04-14T01:43:00.000-07:00

it's been over a year now since i've gone "mobile phone-less". recent unsatisfactory experience with a china-phone has reinforced my prior paradigm that cellphones are just wants and not needs; but certain changes in my lifestyle and work responsibilities have led me to undergo a paradigm shift once again and rely on this modern technology.

after careful examination (i.e. reading dozens of reviews ), i finally came to a decision to buy a nokia 5530 XM.

some factors that convinced me to choose this phone:
> one of the best phones within its price-range, good bang for the buck value.
> smart phone, i can edit spreadsheets while on-the-go. although, i have to install a third-party application
> beautiful and slim design; feels good in my hand.
> audio quality is good and at par, even better, within its price range.
> camera is ok, i'm not really looking for DSLR quality, i just take a few snapshots every now and then.

in the following days/weeks/months, i'll be posting games, apps, themes and stuffs that may, in one way or another, have something to do with my phone.

i have this phone now for almost a month and very happy with it, no regrets whatsoever.
