Good Points

Cheap, cool-lookin', nice size for my hand (not too big,not too small)


Bad Points

Long-term quality may not be there.. Battery life could be better, but then it's a small battery, mass-wise..


General Comments

After owning my Nokia 3530 now for approaching six months, I now identify with another owner who mentioned button malfunction after 5 months.

This is now also happening to me, but it may be the floppy keypad thingy behind the front-case of the phone, not the workings of the phone innards itself.

I say this because careful inspection with the front-case off, and the floppy keypad off, makes it easy to see that when you push a button, you in effect push a short(3mm.?) rubbery "pole" of sorts, and THAT 'pole' then pushes the REAL buttons of the phone's innards.
Take one apart, you'll see what I mean: - the solution may be to simply buy a new rubbery key-pad where 'pole' length is not yet shortened/compressed by five months of use...

Other than that, it's not a bad little phone, but somehow I doubt it'll go down in history as one of Nokia's more durable models.
And then... what the heck... after a year, who wants to be driving the same old car, the same old phone..?
