Nokia 5530 XM now available

Officially announced in Connection 09 event in Singapore last June 14th, the Nokia 5530 Xpress Music is now available.  This is a stripped down version of the nokia 5800XM, sans the 3G but with wifi connectivity.  For me the wifi is the deal breaker as i prefer to get connected thru my home's hotspot than with the carrier's connection.  It has 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash.  Since its offering only EDGE data, video call is not possible thus the front facing camera is absent. It has 640 x 360 touch screen display and 3.5mm jack. As with the 5800, this younger sibling is running symbian S60 5.0. and come shipped with 4GB microSD for all your music and video fix. If you want to get down and dirty with the specs that matter and prices in the local market then read on.
