Samsung S5530- Samsung believes the slider form factor has still got it!
Well, if you thought that the slider phones are out of the market for once and for all give it a second thought, Samsung does not seen to be agreeing to you. The slider-phone that has been launched by Samsung is a very easy to find and recent example of the same. Actually, it is an open secret that slider phones do give a problem with their display after some time but somehow some people still prefer to buy them. Samsung S5530 mobile is carrying the same form factor with some of the most stunning looks it features a full 3.2 MP camera and support for Bluetooth, FM radio, extendable memory up to 16GB should come as a favorite choice for many.
Let us try to decipher the specs myth and see whether this phone actually stands to what It promises. The phone carries a Quad band network support so there is indeed pretty much of clear voice quality. With 105 x 49.5 x 11.5 mm and 96gm weight the device flashes dome excellent exteriors and the 2.2 inch, 256K colors, 240 x 320 pixels resolution screen adds to the effect.
The GPRS/EDGE internet connectivity could be all that a low end user requires and the HTML, XHTML and Wap2.0 browser would actually suffice to the need. The phone of course is java enabled and has a battery life of up to 400h in standby. The full specs of the device are listed below:

The phone is extremely close in looks and features to the Nokia X3 and to most of the first tie users looks like a copy of the same. the Nokia X3 comes with stereo speakers, an FM radio, a media player, and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The phone runs under the Series 40 software platform. The phone also has a 2GB microSD Card. As well as that, the phone also has its own internal speakers that act like Stereo Speakers. SO indeed feature wise the phones are very close but you will only have to ask Samsung whether it is a copy or not. However, Samsung S5530’s price and availability is not revealed yet . It may cost around Rs.5000/-
