It hasn’t even been a year and already we have the successor to the 5800 XpressMusic; the 5330 XpressMusic is all set to hit the United States. Too bad nobody wants it. Okay, before the Symbian crowd takes a whack at me with their mallets, yes a few people will definitely pick this handset up, but seriously folks, Nokia isn’t exactly scoring big time in the United States. The N97 was badly priced and featured nothing exciting, the 5800 XpressMusic had a score of glitches to its credit and the E72 wasn’t the BlackBerry menace it was touted to be. Nokia’s biggest problem with the American market has been the outdated UI on its devices and there’s no denying it. So what’s the 5530 XpressMusic got? Pretty much the same as the 800 XM, but with less weight and no 3G. Huge difference.  On pre-order now from Nokia USA, it’ll run you $289.99 (which includes a free mini speaker), we’re not expecting huge rollovers from this one. let’s hope the early adopters tax isn’t as biting as it ordinarily is.

Better official than unofficial huh Nokia? Not long after being filmed and leaked on YouTube, Nokia has made official announcements for two of its handsets one being the E72and the other is 5530 XpressMusic at Connection 2009 Singapore. As stated before, the E72 is indeed the next in line to the E71. It has 10.2 Mbps streaming subject of course to network support, an integrated compass, S60 3rd Edition and FP2 with a 5 Megapixel camera to boot. The XpressMusic installment, the 5530, although not as shiny as the E72 is nevertheless an EDGE phone device with 3.2 megapixel camera and 640 x 360 touchscreen. It has Wi-Fi but lacks 3G so we’re like Nokia who have you been dating? I mean you give us 10. Mbps but no 3G? What’s up with that? The E72 and 5530 XpressMusic should be out in the third quarter for about $489 and $278, respectively.
