Nokia 5530 XpressMusic with touchscreen announced

Nokia has announced the 5530 XpressMusic mobile and music device, its latest by far, following up from the success of the earlier model, the 5800.

The 5530 XpressMusic features touchscreen capability, giving users the ease of access to music and friends. Through the homescreen, the user can scroll the Contacts Bar which has up to 20 contacts and their latest conversations and media updates. And not just that, the homescreen also features one-touch shortcuts to content and popular social networks.

This innovative 'people carousel' features thumbnail images of up to 20 close friends and provides easy access to them and their communications history including emails, phone calls, photos or other social media updates. The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic also features the pop-up Media Bar so music, photos, videos, Internet and on-line sharing applications such as Ovi Share, Flickr and VOX are just a touch away.

Available in five vivid colors and made in a solid stainless steel frame finish, the 5530 is made as an ideal device for those who wish to quickly access, share and mix a huge selection of media. It has 27 hours of playback time, excellent audio quality and a 4GB memory card for storing music and other media. Additionally, its brilliantly clear 2.9'' widescreen display gives great clarity to videos.

The 5530 XpressMusic supports GSM/EDGE networks and also offers fast and affordable access to Internet services via the integrated wireless LAN over the ubiquitous wireless networks.
