We like:
Good sound quality; low price tag
We don't like:
Small, resistive touchscreen; poor camera
CNET UK judgement:
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price
