Nokia 3530: Innovative layout

Don't let the wacky button layout fool you - the Nokia 3530 is a pretty decent mid-range phone that follows Nokia's general tried-and-true style of design quite closely.

Nokia 3530

The Nokia 3530’s relatively low price of S$448 (without line) makes it attractive to those who are looking for MMS, a color display and polyphonic ringtones on a budget. But the lack of a radio and other features found on higher-ranged mobile phones...

Nokia 3530

While the 3530 may seem to resemble, in many aspects, its 3510 predecessor, there are also those improvements that make this model a more acceptable choice of mobile phone in comparison.

OK

Overall I think that the Nokia 3530 was a pretty good phone in it's time. I liked that it could MMS and had the most long lasting batter life of any phone I have ever owned. I don't know that I would own this phone today however as there are much...

I like how durable and long lasting this phone model was. AT the time this phone was a pretty economical purchase and it was considered pretty cool and funky as it had the coloured screen

I personally do not like the physical appearance of this phone, however i know that others would disagree with me on that.

The most attractive phone I have ever owned at that time and the color and the features was the main reason why I purchased it, and to top it off with excellent battery life when making calls. Very high quality phone that lasts and lasts!

OK

Overall it wasn't a bad phone to use, but wouldn't use it again - besides it is an old model now anyway.

The Nokia 3530 was really just a spin off from the Nokia 3310/3315 but with an added colour screen and a weird keypad layout - I guess it was cool because it was one of the first colour screen Nokia's

Not original design, the keypad layout was poor and hard to navigate.
