As speculated last May, Nokia announced a cheaper version of their popular Nokia 5800XM this week -- the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is now much cheaper by shedding off some key features. Everybody's quite familiar with what the 6-month old Nokia 5800 so a better perspective of the new Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is to list what it doesn't have that merits it a significant price downgrade compared to its older sibling. The Nokia 5530 is missing 3G connectivity and only allows for a slow EDGE connection. The only upgrade I was able to see where the 5530XM ruled over the 5800XM is the CPU speed -- up from 369 MHz to an ARM 11 434 MHz processor. With the release of Nokia's 1st-generation touchscreen phone last January, it will not be a surprise if the Finnish company will follow it through with another low-end version of the 5800 XPressMusic. Next month, Nokia might unveil a much cheaper 5530 XPressMusic named Kenzo. The alleged Nokia Kenzo specs: 2.9 inch QVGA touchscreen Quad-band GSM EDGE connectivity no 3G No Wi-Fi No GPS 150 MB internal memory up to 16 GB via microSD 3.2 MP camera with dual LED flash The speculated price of this low-end touchscreen phone is around $200 {via}.
