Smartphones have recently become a massive business. In the last couple of years dozens of companies have been competing over screen resolution, apps, browser speed, thickness and user interfaces. As they push more and more technologies into their phones prices have shot up, and as a result it is not unheard of to spend £500 plus on a phone. On the other hand, for many people if a mobile can ring people it is all they need. But is there a middle ground? I want a touchscreen phone that does internet and apps but I don't have huge amounts of diposable cash - what do I do? Enter Nokia. Known for their value-for-money, Nokia offers a huge variety of mobile ...  Read the complete review

Nokia Express Music 5530 ******************** When my mobile phone contract came up for renewal recently, l decided that no longer would l be locked into a contract for a ridiculous amount of time. So l bought a phone and went on to a sim only contract. I am quite picky when it comes to phones. I didn't really want a touch screen, but l wanted an affordable phone with wifi. There didn't actually seem a lot available to meet my criteria, actually there was nothing! But l searched and searched and came accross the Nokia 5530 express music, for a reasonable price online.

The marketing for this phone concentrated heavily on the fact that it has specially powerful speakers and great connectivity with WMA and MP3 files. Weve all seen them, or should I say heard them on the bus or train. The annoying tinny sounds of a crappy phone speaker with no bass blaring out rap or grime or whatever the kids are into these days.

Most companies compete over screen resolution and smartphone apps etc. User interface is extremely important.Most smartphones use an Android or apple system set up. Where as this phone (one of the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone because I wanted to jump on the 'touch screen bandwagon'. These phones are a really great price, and often free on most contracts, so are a great, cheaper alternative to the extortionate smart phones on the market. At first impression this phone is good; it has all the great features you'd expect, although it is a little difficult to use if you're not used to it. It feels a little cheap as it is made of plastic and is very lightweight. It does look stylish and the touch screen is good for people with big fingers such as myself. It is quite slow when you are texting which does get quite annoying. However, I do like that you can ...  Read the complete review
