Nokia 3530 Review

Overall Rating

very cheap with color screen.large storage capacity

keypad is not good,like having 2,5 and 8,0 on same key

I owned a NOKIA 3530 on august 8th(2003).Actually I am in urgent need of cell at that time and I asked my friend to get me one.when she got this I was not at all satisfied by seeing this.she convinced me saying that this piece is having many options and the cheapest piece(WITH color screen).I was in a thought like who needs all options,only required is incoming call and outgoing call and same with messages.But now I totally disagree with my previous thoughts.It is very nice piece.Till now I didn't face any problem on that.One thing I observed is it has large storage capacity.Even if you observe the ring tones storage,apart from nokia default tones i stored around 17 tones and still there is place to store.I dont know exactly how many I can store in it.you can store these ring tones in seperate folder called tones in gallery.It is even compatible for polyphonic ring tones.If you play the ring tone of this and other piece you yourself can differentiate the clarity of the tone.Only weird thing i observed is keypad.It doesn't looks good.Thats it.No other problem i got while typing messages fast.I got used to this keypad.you should be careful while you are downloading something.you should check the compatibility first.otherwise it may create you some problem.That is there with any type of piece.Not only with this.Actually I dont handle things with care.I dont know how many times i might have dropped my phone by mistake.still you know not even one repair i got.still what can i say about this.only I didnt satisfy about the look of the piece.That may be my problem and you might be satisfied even with that.It has got good alarm,reminders,day notes,calculator etc etc....
many good features in it.Finally i can say nokia 3530 is worth buying.Don't compare this with highly priced piece.see the options it is providing and see the compatibility of the price.Then move forward.Thats all I can say about this.HAVE GOOD TIME WITH NOKIA

  HI, about the keypad of 3530, you can buy another keypad which fits 3530 eventhough it is for other models:
  
  try, see, fit the xpress-on cover of 3510i, or just 3510, that should solve your problem with the keypad (the merged keys)
