Have it for almost a week and faced some problems noticed till current moment.
Bugs.
1. Autocomplete doesn't work on S60 browser addressbar. You can only select first item from popup list.
2. Password fields won't let you enter non-latin symbols.
3. LED won't stop blinking even after incoming message was read. It will stop blinking after you unlock the phone once again.
Important lacks
1. XpressMusic player lacks of current queue feature. Be it not XpressMusic I would say nothing, but you can't view currently playing list and you can't add to current queue.
2. No kinetic scrolling in main menu. I have 50 icons in application menu and it's very problematic to scroll them as the display is sunk a bit. Even my small fingure miss the scrollbar at least 1/3 of attempts to scroll it.
3. S60 browser does not support IDNs. It's not so important at the moment, but Cyrillic TLD zone is expected to run in november this year.
Some noticed misses
1. No preentered local ccTLD in S60 browser autocomplete in localized firmware. Only com, net and org.If it's Russian language on the device then ru should be in list already, if it's German, then deshould be in list. Etc.
2. No preinstalled dictionaries in localised firmwares.

I have also noticed a bug on my 5530 when playing music and going back to the homescreen I don't get the music controls (backward, play/pause, forward).
Camera quality is good in daylight conditions but when pictures are taken indoors or at night they look really really bad, pixelated and they have a high noise level, seems like a 1 megapixel picture.

Do you think they will greatly improve camera quality through firmware updates? considering that it is an XpressMusic phone so they might mostly concentrate on music than camera.
I really want the camera quality to improve
when it is improved this phone would be the best, sexiest, coolest phone ever!

camera is good actually. white balance is enough balanced, details somehow (for a phone) preserved.

2 more problems.
1. Application Menu laggs a lot.
2. Vkontakte widget is very low functional - just link with information on amount of new items on every link. When you click on the wall it will open the browser with you main profile page, when you click on friends it will open browser with frinds page. Do everything within the widget. And remove exit button from main soft buttons, as you have to click in the same place to close the browser to get back to the widget.16-Aug-2009 04:27 PM

Considering it is a xpressMUSIC(!), I´m missing:
- option to add directory as a new playlist
- option to adjust volume with side music buttons while the keyboard is locked
- additionaly, when holding the button for longer time, it would be nice to switch to the next track

does it won't start at all, or is it happens time to time? try to turn off basestation broadcasting messages. this feature usually leads s60v5 to often crashes.

This has nothing to do with "low-cost" phones.
1. 5530 is a mid range
2. It's made not on a new platform. 5800 when out was a one single gigantic bug..,
Remove you SIM card and turn it on without SIM card. It's should run with autonomous (offline) profile.

I think its not only a mid-range phone, coz the price doesn't tell that.
And compared the features to other mid-range one.
But unluckily, is missing.

Firstly, bought this phone last week and I love it. In my opinion, it's much better than the 5800 if you don't need 3g or GPS.
I have a curious problem though - I set up an email account which appears on the homepage, but since I woke up this morning, the email entry on the homepage has disappeared - there is just blank bar (slightly darker than the background). The bar can be pressed and highlighted for as long as you press it, but it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else have this problem?
20-Aug-2009 12:59 PM
Oh hey! finally someone has the same problem as me ![]()
Yeah I also have this, I have used it for a couple of days and it was fine but then it just randomly happened one day when I unlocked my phone the email bar disappeared. The bar is still there but its just a shaded box, you can click it but nothing happens to it.

It's some consolation I suppose that someone else has it, I just wish I could fix it.
cero10, I have asked around before, but by any chance so you know if it is possible to view calendar entries on the homescreen (like the 5800)?

I think i'm gonna replace my unit tomorrow. It's 14th day since I bought it. We can replace or refund it within 14th days per law with no questions.
