It comes with a 2.9-inch touchscreen and differs from the Nokia 5800 by having a new Homescreen and Contacts Bar as part of the interface. There is also a Media Bar that allows instant access to your multimedia, making this one of the most user-friendly Nokia phones to-date. You can only get the Black and red variant at the moment, so we’re expecting it to appear in other colours any time soon.

Aside from the touchscreen, you’ll find a 3.2-Megapixel camera, 70MB of internal memory and a 4GB microSD card shipping. The device does away with keys on the front of the device in favour of touch-sensitive Call and Function buttons.

You can buy the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic SIM free from Nokia Online for £235 (inc. VAT).

UPDATE: We’ve just been informed that the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic will be available on the high-street from 11th August courtesy of Carphone Warehouse. It will cost £129 (inc, VAT) on Pre-Pay and you’ll be able to get an 18 month contract for as little as £15 a month, which is a great price saving.
