Samsung E530 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: August 2005.
Looking at the petite size and lavender pink colour scheme of the Samsung
E530, it doesn't take long to realise that this is a girly phone! Samsung's
marketing blurb suggests that the E530 is the perfect shopping companion.
We don't know about that, but it's certainly a lot less trouble than
trying to drag a bloke into a clothes shop!
Despite its girly image, this is a high-spec camera phone that can
almost match the Samsung D500 for features.
The phone is equipped with a megapixel camera with an integrated flash
and zoom, that can also record video (at lower resolution). The quality
of the screen is high - a bright active matrix display that can easily
be seen in daylight, with 262,000 colours and high resolution. There's
a built-in MP3 player (with stereo output to headphones), MP3 ringtones,
and a selection of games. There's even an exclusive set of "lifestyle
features" with intriguing names such as "Fragrance Type"
and "Pink Schedule". We have no idea what these are for or
whether women really want that kind of stuff, but the E530 has got them.
Getting back to safer technical ground, the E530 comes with a generous
92 Mbytes of memory (no memory card though), and excellent connectivity
including both USB and wireless Bluetooth connections. Battery life
is nothing special, but in a phone this small it's all you can expect.
All things considered, the E530 is a good all-rounder in a tiny clamshell
design. And, of course, it's pink! (Also available in blue.)
 Features
of the Samsung E530 include:
- Megapixel camera (1152 x 864 pixels) with 4x digital zoom, flash
and photo effects
- Video camera
- Internal display: TFT LCD, 176 x 220 pixels, 262,144 colours
- External display: OLED LCD, 80 x 64 pixels, 65,536 colours
- MP3 player
- 64-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Messaging: SMS (with learning T9), EMS, MMS, E-Mail (POP3, IMAP4,
SMTP)
- Games: Bobby Carrot, Airship Racing, Arch Angel, Freekick plus downloadable
Java games
- Wallpaper & animations
- Lifestyle features: Fragrance Type, Biorhythm, Height/Weight ratio,
Calories Counter, Pink Schedule, Shopping list
- Phonebook (max 1,000 entries) with caller ID (text/photo)
- Personal Information Management: Calendar, Scheduler, To do list,
Short cut, Clock / Worldtime, Alarm, Currency converter, Calculator,
Memo book, Stop watch, Count down timer
- Memory: 92 Mbytes
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB 1.0, SnycML
- WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10
- Dual band
- Size: 86 x 43 x 26 mm
- Weight: 85g
- Talktime: up to 5.5 hours
- Battery standby: 200 hours

Just received my little phone - "It is so cute"!!!!!. So easy and intuative
to use. Screen quality amazing. Couple of small niggles: 1. there is
no voice dial facility - very useful if using with bluetooth in car.
2. no usb cable included - but otherwise I am extremely happy with my
little blue pod!

Brill little phone but does anyone else have trouble with predictive
texting?! Once set onto T9 mode it doesn't remember it next time you
go in, so you have to set it every time. Have returned phone to samsung
who said it was faulty and sent me a new phone. This is doing exactly
the same! I have 2 friends with this phone and both of their phones
stay on the T9 mode everytime they go in to text. Am i just unlucky?!

I knocked a few stars off the phone, because my mms doesn't work on
it. I've been waiting well over a month for the phone to come back in
stock to swap it for another one. Also the sound on it isn't very loud,
have trouble hearing people or even the ringtone which you can only
put up to volume 5 needs to be able to go louder. Apart from these niggles
love the phone. Love the colour, the camera is excellent and the screen
colour. It's easy to text on, I've always wanted a flip phone and this
is my first one and it is great. Very much a girls phone, though with
the new colours out I can see guys will be snapping it up too.

I bought this phone today, and im am very impressed with it. After having
my A800 for ages, I decided to upgrade to a better model. Everyone I
know has Nokia's, and looking at the cameras on them, they dont look
good. So I debated on having either this, or the Motorola V547. They
both looked good, but I am glad I stuck with Samsung. The Motorola didnt
have a big enough memory for me. This is the best phone ever. I dont
really like the colour pink, (im not a girly girl) But im falling in
love with this phone. It comes with a nice little case and strap (That
doesnt not fir around my wrist :S) The camera is the best ive ever seen.
Its small and very snazzy. I recomed this phone. Go get it! :)

I just got the phone today and the look of the phone is great, i like
all the features, the only thing that annoys me is that it is set on
predictive text and it takes ages to undo it all when you just want
to send a quick text. I am sending the phone back though because the
battery comes off really easy. You only have to tap it on the table
and the battery falls out, turning your phone off. Has anyone else had
this problem?

is quite annoying and secondly, i can't get the clock on the outer screen
to stay on for more than 5 seconds!!!!anyone know how to sort this??last

How do you make the external display to show that nice clock instead
of ordinary digital one? Samsung's interface still sucks. And call quality
is not good at all. But the phone is not a bad one overall.

Do not be fooled. This camera is gorgeous to look at, has a cracking
display and bags of memory at its disposal. HOWEVER, the call quality
is abysmal. The sound received is really tinny, yet at the other end
people receive you sounding muffled. In anything other than quiet indoor
conditions you'll have to shout for the person at the other end to hear
you properly. I lost count of the number of times people on the other
end said "put your mouth closer to the phone, I can't hear you." There
must be a fault with the microphone because the same thing happens when
you try recording sound - you can barely hear anything unless your mouth
is spitting right into the microphone. Last of all, the reception of
this phone is amongst the worst I have encountered, flitting from full
bars to zero seemingly on a whim. Sexy phone to look at and to play
with, but the basics of making a phonecall are a complete letdown.

Cute and nice to hold! And it's less pink than the images on the net
would have you believe. It's more of a pinkish maroon. Pity about the
texting input format always starting from ABab instead of T9Ab. Otherwise,
it's overall a pretty good phone. I recommended it for anyone who wants
a flip camera phone to be just that and not a PDA substitute. Unless
they're a hardcore predictive texter (writing 10+ messages a day), in
which case avoid this model. Get a Nokia. Fuller review at http://elandra.blogspot.com

This phone is great! I've had it for over two weeks now. The screen
quality is excellent. Sending texts, making and receiving calls are
all easy to do. Camera quality and video recording quality are both
brilliant. The Bluetooth is easy to use and WAP is also easy to access.
Battery life is very good and I get a good signal. I don't really use
the girlie features on this phone - calorie counter, height/ weight
ratio, etc. So you don't even have to be a girlie girl to have this
phone! I'd definitely recommend it.

I have had this phone a week. It is really stylish and compact - I got
the Oasis Blue colour, which isnt too girly. Its got lots of cool features,
and lots of pointless ones too. Like a calorie counter and a "pink schedule"
which basically plans when your next period is going to be. Really useful,
especially if your a bloke. (unless you use it so you can plan when
to avoid your other half!) The camera is great quality, although the
flash isnt brill. I find the texting a bit irritating - I dont have
particularly big fingers, but sometimes I find myself mashing the keyboard.
It fits in your pocket well, and looks fairly stylish too in any pub.
The battery life is excellent, and call quality is good too. Would I
get another one? Maybe, but I think the D500 is much cooler, and wish
I had that one instead.

Nokia I've had. The text messaging is a bit of a nightmare and long
winded which I dont really like as Im so used to Nokia's layout! The
sound quality on calls is really tinny and poor. Not that impressed
with the ringtones and message tones but then thats what downloads are
for! Over all I like the phone and am happy, its a phone, it rings..

i spent my whole time shouting at people. I exchanged this for the Samsung
E720 - which is a slighter more powerful phone - but it comes with being
heavy. ugly and STILL having bad sound quality - it must be something

This phone is amazing. I was seriously torn between the new nokia flip

of being an actual phone for gettin in touch with people its very good.
The easy-answer by just flipping it open is great and texting is easy.
In terms of being something that all ur friends will say is cool and
ur mum will say now thats trendy, it gets full marks! The camera is
good, it does its job pretty well but dont buy the phone instead of
a digital cam...u will not be impressed! And as far as the calorie counter
is concernd, wow! So pointless yet it makes the phone what it is! Im
only not givin this full stars cos ther are some tiny problems like
not gettin the internet and therefore not being able to get mp3s. But
if u really want that, get a goddam ipod!!

Has anyone else had any of these problems and how did you resolve them?
I am in the meantime (about 72 hours time) awaiting a response from

The phone is ok but there are some things that arent that good. 1. The
camera IS a mega pixel BUT if you want to send a picture via MMS they
have to be 640 X 480 so you they dont go over the MMS size limit. If
you change the size limit to send a mega pixel picture it says "Sending
Failed". 2. The sound clarity is awful. I was talking to my friend on
my phone (Nokia 6610i) and i heard everything she was saying then my
battery died so i used my mums phone (Samsung E530) and i couldnt understand
a word she was saying. 3. The battery life is dreadful. It last about
2 days MAX and i really hate the charger because they have a light on
them which turns green when its charged but it says nothing on the phone
as to whether its charging or not. 4. You can only ure Samsund own message
tones you cant use your own and they are really quiet. 5. You cant use
AMR (recordings) as ringtones. That really let the phone down because
my mum had a Sagem myX-6 with AMR tones and sent them to her ne w phone
(Samsung) but couldnt use them as tones. BUT in saying that it does
have some good features like; 1. The Bluetooth conectivity is a real
plus. 2. The MP3 player is great if your out and board. 3. The Camera
IS good even though you cant send the big pictures. 4. The buttons are
really user friendly! If you dont phone a lot and arent a phtographer
then get it!

Love this phone! Used to have a Sony Ericsson T610 and have been looking
for a while for a cheap contract and stumbled across a great deal with
O2 on the net for a free phone and 7 months free line rental with 100
texts a month thrown in. Got a choice of a few phones and chose this.
Thought it would be basic as I got such a good contract deal but am
really impressed. Easy to use, loads of great features, screen quality
is really good, as is the picture quality. Looks to be well built but
only time will tell with that one!. First impressions of this phone
are really good. If you are looking for a phone to impress your mates
(just the girls obviously) that won't cost you the earth, have a look
at the one stop phone shop online. I am happy to recommend this phone

Got this yesterday. This phone is great - I was due an upgrade and had
always had a samsung phone, but thought on this occassion I would try
the Sony Ericsson k750i. What a mistake - terrible phone, then I tried
the Nokia 3230, which also was terribe. So glad to go back to Samsung.
Not sure if I would consider this phone if I was a fella - too many
girly things on it, such as ovulation calender????? Not sure what the
crack is with having this, but still great features, and excellent camera.
One thing which slightly irritated me was the sound quality which isnt
the best; but its bearable and as I have great intentions of making
alot of use of my camera/video phone, I defo will be keeping this one
and putting up with it.

This phone is one of the best phones out today along with samsungs other
mobiles, the ringtones are a good quality and sending objects via bluetooth
is easy and simple. The camera quality is ok but everything else is
superb, the phone is slim and light and easy to use. I recommend anyone
that is considering it to buy this phone, you wont regret it.

I ab fab love this fone! It is amazingly! It was weird at first changing
from a nokia to a samsung, but i wouldn't change this fone for any other!
It is amazing and i love showing it off! The colour is also gorgeous!
I'm not really that good with electronic things, but this phone is so
simple to use, but it still does everything you want it to! Although
considering what is in the Lifestyle category, this phone is for the
girls, don't think a guy needs a shopping list, a fragrance type, a
calorie counter or a pink schedule! But hey, whatever floats ya boat!
This phone is amazing and i would recommend it to anyone!! Love ya x

I have been looking for a new phone for a couple of months. Having had
mobiles for some 10 years which have always been Nokia's but nokia had
nothing that i really liked, i then saw the Samsung E530 on the net
and ordered it. And YEP i really love it, it is a fantastic piece of
equipment wasn't too sure about the flip open style but it is a great
easy to use little phone and i would recomend it to anyone.

This phone is amazing! So girly, it's perfect for me, and any other
girl! The camera is outstanding, ive taken pictures in clubs and in
the dark and they have come out perfectly! I have found that this phone
has a stronger signal than any of the others ive had! Good choice of
games! Only one problem, the voice recorder is very quiet but when you
record a video the sound is loud and clear, but it doesn't really bother
me too much! It makes a chnage to have a phone that has all the features
(camera video mp3 bluetooth ect) and still looks good! I have bought
the pink one and my boyfriend loves it so he is going to buy the blue
one! Good memory, video and camera are perfect, bluetooth works, mp3
amazing! This is the best phone i've ever had (and i have had a lot!)
So if you're looking for the perfect phone, BUY THIS ONE!!!! x x x

really like this phone but am considering sending it back unless someone
can enlighten me as to how to do some things that bug me about it: how
do you make the analog clock stay on the external screen longer than
2 seconds, any way? is there any way to set it so that the external
display shows permanently that you have a missed call or that the phone
is on silent/quiet mode? it's annoying for me that you can't just look
at the phone and see if there's a missed call, you have to open it all
the time.other than that, it's excellent! any help would be appreciated.

This is an excellent phone as it has most of the features I look for
in a phone. It is a great looking phone (looks fantastic in oasis blue),
has a nice clear main display, the menus are easy to navigate around
and it has a strong signal on orange. The MP3 player works well, and
the camera with video recording capabilities is of excellent quality
considering it is only 1MP, but I think that this is good enough for
a mobile phone. The battery charges quickly and it has lots of interesting
extra features like biorythm stats. The main problem I have with this
phone, which is why I haven't given it five stars is because there is
no speakerphone. Another minor problem is that the phone's memory cannot
be expanded, although Samsung have been generous with the supplied memory.
The T9 texting is a little obscure on this phone and takes longer than
a Nokia would take to type out a text as you need to navigate in and
out of menus to add symbols and words not included in its dictionary.
Overall though, I am very happy with this phone. It is well-designed,
small, feature-packed and very good-looking. A great phone for the girls!

i luurve samsung phones,this is my tenth now and its always getting
better,like the other reviewer of this phone who said they got an illness
as far as phones go,i should have been committed years ago.This is the
phone to have at the mo if your a girl,its small sexy and lots to keep
you occupied with,the camera is excellent with a good enough flash,i
like the fact its so loud too so u can hear it in your bag but the MAIN
thing is the major flaw that the samsung e720 had with sound and call
quality which i can thankfully say has not got any on this model,its
really good on this one.the only thing i can say is a little niggle
of mine and this is only if im really forced to point out any negatives
is the signal isn't as good as the other samsung phones,but all the
same well done to samsung for producing such a small,sexy multifuctional
phone that has everything and for listening to their customers.

i think this phone is great i have had it for about three weeks now
and i have to say there is nothing about it that really irritates me,
the non expandable memory isn't really a problem for me coz i bought
a bluetooth dongle for £8 off ebay and i can send everything i want
to my pc. its great i can capture videos of my kids on the beach and
places where u wouldnt normally take a camera. theres not limit on how
much video u can take up to an hour as long as u got the free memory.
the videos can be blown up to full screen on my pc but then they are
distorted a little as ud exspect. Camera is fantastic for a mobile.
and the sound is perfect too load if anything sometimes, for the lady
who reviewed sound u must have been unlucky. i got the pink one and
its so stylish for a girl. only complaint is when are samsung gonna
allow us to customise our message tones??? overall fantastic little
phone get it girls!!! or boys my hubby loves it but he'd want it in
blue or summet!!

pictures and animations to send. The camera has loads of features such
as frames and a flash, multishot and zoom.The picture quality is fantastic
and the battery lasts ages.It is very small and i recently took it with
me on a girls night out and it fit in my bag great and i got some brilliant
pictures in a dark club using the flash. I have just found the games

Trust me.I have a passion for mobiles (some would call it an "illness"!!!)I
have had the Sony Ericsson P900, the Nokia 6230, Samsung E720, etc and,
by far, this E530 is my favourite so far! I love the way it looks, feels
and performs. The battery lasts well between charges, it has clear reception
and display - everything works just as it should, but the real plus
for me is that it is mainly a ladies' phone and such a lovely colour.
Although there are other phones which have higher specs and more functions,
by anyone's standards, for what it is designed to do, the E530 is an
excellent phone! I love it!!!

nice and loud and the pictures taken with this phone are really clear,also
the video playback is amazing not at all blurred.The only reason i have
not given it five stars is because you cannot expand the memory on it
but saying that i have 7 full songs on it loads of pictures and 8 video
