Sony Ericsson K530i Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: A lightweight 3G phone with a classic design,
user-friendly keypad and a good range of features, including a 2 megapixel
camera, a music player, an FM radio, and a memory card slot.
Review: November 2007.
The Sony Ericsson K530i is an attractive mid-range 3G phone available
in a choice of Thunder Black or Warm Silver. The specification and design
of the K530i is almost exactly the same as the Sony Ericsson W660i,
and so we would refer you to our in-depth
review of the W660i to read more. Really the only differences between
the K530i and the W660i are that the K530i is not Walkman-branded (but
it still has a music player and FM radio) and is missing the MegaBass™
feature.
You may read on the web that the K530i is also the first phone to support
Sony Ericsson's new GPS accessory, the HGE-100. The HGE-100 looks like
a wired stereo headset, but also incorporates a GPS receiver. This lets
you find your current location, monitor your speed, distance, route
and calorie burn, and also control the music player on your phone. However,
the HGE-100 is compatible with most current Sony Ericssons, including
the W660i - not just the K530i.
Features of the Sony Ericsson K530i include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom
- Video capture, 3G video calling
- Display: TFT, 262,144 colours, 176 x 220 pixels
- Music player: PlayNow™, TrackID™
- FM radio
- Speakerphone
- Sound recorder
- Polyphonic ringtones / Music tones
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Email
- 3D Java games
- Personal organiser functions
- Internet: WAP 2.0, Access Netfront™ Web browser, RSS feeds
- Connectivity:Bluetooth, USB
- Memory: 16 Mbytes plus Memory Stick Micro support (up to 2 Gbytes)
- Flight mode
- Vibration alert
- Triband (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900) plus 3G (UMTS 2100)
- Size: 102 x 46 x 14 mm
- Weight: 92g
- Talktime: 3 hours (3G) - 9 hours (2G)
- Battery standby: up to 395 hours

I bought a K530i as a cheap replacement but it's by far and away a better handset
than the Nokia. I love it and will keepway past my next upgrade. It's easy and
simple to use. Durable and stylish. Sony Ericsson 1 Nokia 0

I bought this phone as a replacement for a broken Nokia N73. Even though the
N73 was packed with stuff and was a much higher spec than this phone I really
like the K530i. The camera's basic (fixed focus) but I don't take many pictures
on it, so I'm not so bothered by it. The phone's really easy to use, I don't
really have any problems with it. It's small and light, even though the back
does not feel completely secure it's a good solid phone. The battery life is
not great but all phones are like that these days. It needs charging every couple
of days depending on use. The keypad is a bit too small for my thumbs but it's
only a minor gripe. I'll give it 5 stars and it's a simple phone to use and
just does what I want it to do.

speaker is not as good as expected, the buttons are too close but other than
that its quite okay. the prices differ from country to country but all in all,
its an okay deal. but on either cases good or bad, i am still going for the

Just got the SE 530i today. Impressive for the price. Very clear, bright screen.
Familiar, smooth SE menus. Mine is all silver, which looks much nicer than the
two-colour version in the image above. The handset is lighter and thinner than
I expected compared to previous SE 3G handsets. Stylish look and feel even if
plastic body. The keypad is a bit fiddly with the keys a bit too close together
for my fingers. The joystick is gone, replaced by a 4-way button (shame, I must
be one of the few people who actually prefer the joystick). Can't comment on
the battery yet. I agree with previous reviewer that the camera has some limited
features, it's still good for 2M though. Main let-down is volume which is not
very loud for phone calls (music seems to be ok). This may be due to the network
rather than the phone. Overall a solid buy.

Got this phone late in the afternoon today and it was very easy figuring out
how to work this thing even though it is my first time to use a Sony Ericsson
phone(I've had Nokia and Motorola in the past). Nice slim design too, though
the flap protecting the m2 card slot feels like it might come off if the phone
were in less than gentle hands. Camera is okay, I'm just disappointed with the
sound volume -- it gets drowned out by the sound of rain or even frogs croaking
outside. Works fine on earphones though ;)

I purchased this phone keeping in mind the long standby time displayed by Sony-Ericsson
up to 395 hours (over 16 days). First charge last 2.5 days (because of playing
with the phone, configuring, ...). Second charge 3.5 days (around 85 hours)
with less that 20 minutes talk, no bluetooth. The phone in general looks good
and it's easy to use. But if you want battery life, choose another brand. Sony
Ericsson sucks. Even my $30 old Nokia have a 6-7 days standby time.

Reviewed by Ryan Lim from UK on 2nd Jul 2008
Been using this phone for over 4 months. So far, it has been very good. As long
you know the limits of this phone: 1) Standby means not touching the phone much.
When that is the case, it does live up to the 300++ hrs standby. Normally, you
should get a few days unless you use it a hell of alot for calls, text and/or
music. 2) Camera has no flash. Hence, low light pictures will be poor. As for
greenish photos with indoor lights, try adjusting the white balance in the menu.
It worked for me. If you want better photos, then you have to pay more for the
K800 or better phones with a real Xenon flash. The camera is however much faster
than a typical Nokia phone and has less shutter lag. Pictures in day light is
good for 2Mpixel. But don't expect it to replace a standalone digital camera
where they will always win hands-down against any phone. The thumbnail browser
is very nice and easy to use. 3) Call handup button is also the Web button on
my 3 phone. Hence, if the call ended just before I press handup, it calls up
the web. A slight irritation, but not really a problem. 4) 3G Sensitivity is
perhaps a little poor at times. But I hear is it not too dissimilar on most
other 3G network. In all, for the price, a very nice phone. I recommend it.

I have dropped this phone a few times and its still ok. Battery life gets a
bit low when using it for things like camera, stopwatch function, radio, etc
(lasts for one day). However if just using it generally without any major long
calls it lasts about 2 to 2 and a half days. Also I find that if I dont put
a screen saver battery lasts longer. It has a few nifty features which I really
like like the 5 alarm system. Keypad is seriously fine for me I dont have any
problems with it, maybe I have smaller hands. Interface and user friendlyness
are good. It took me a short while to get used to it but its really quite nice
after getting the hang of it. Suprising because I always thought nokia phones
were the most idiot proof. But this model is pretty easy to use as well. Overall
definately worth the money. If anyone knows of any other better model at this

stuff to keep me occupied. Ive read a few bad reviews but it depends on the
handset that you get. The one I recieved is well constructed without the loose
battery cover people keep bleeting on about.Its battery life is good; but you
have to consider what the battery powers especially if your listening to MP3s
or the radio. I like this phone and would recommend it to those who are looking
for a 3g phone without going with 3.

I exchanged mine for another (new) K800i - it's a far better all round phone
with a better battery life.

I'm loving my k530i. It's much more affordable compared to other phones, but
it works just as well; if not better. Although the 2-megapixel camera doesn't
work just like in other SE Cyber-shot phones, pictures don't come out horrible
at all. (Although I must admit pictures CAN look quite grainy when taken in
lowlight conditions - but the nightmode was placed there for a reason.) As for
the "tiny buttons" thing, yes, it was very uncomfortable for me to write text
messages during the first time. But all it takes is a little getting-used to!
What I love most about the k530i (or any SE phones, for that matter) is its
strong build. I must've dropped my phone a million times already and it's still
working in tiptop condition. Oh, and did I mention is't a great 3G phone as
well? Definitely a must-have handset!
