Its been almost a month now with 5530, the most used feature other than the calls and sms is music ,watching videos and games. The music player is a simple but well featured player giving multiple listing options and settings to tweak the music like equalized, surround effect etc. Setting up album art was just a tad confusing (but googling i found a way to put album art using windows media player and setting the album art as front cover option). The in-box plug style 3.5mm stereo earphones are ok (I am not a fan of these type of earphones) but it drains out outside noise and the music quality is good.
The music player could have had a option for browsing music by flipping through album art ala iphone anyway the player does the job of sorting and playing music.
The video player also does the basic job of playing videos well. I first tried to convert video to 640 x 360 pixels but now I found out converting videos into mp4 with 640 x 480 pixels and then using the options in the video player to “Stretch” fits the screen perfectly and if the source video quality is good the converted mp4 plays and looks excellent in the 2.9″ screen.
Playing games was a mixed bag with some games requiring stylus and some being played with fingers, anyway my favorite games being Disks, MatchEm and The word game (all free and available in OVI store).
Battery seems to hold out well with extended periods of hearing music and playing games and as a portable multimedia player the Nokia 5530 seems a perfect fit for me.
