Nokia Lumia 530 - 4GB - Dark Gray (Unlocked) Smartphone

Just the job

By no means the latest of smart phones but if you're looking for an economically priced compact and functional phone this may be just what you're looking for. I wanted one that would fit into a shirt pocket along with my wallet and this does. It's sufficiently compact and slim line to operate most functions with one hand. It is perfectly adequate for making and receiving calls and texts, which is what I primarily use it for. The camera and the video are perfectly adequate too. It's a Windows phone and so if you have a Windows PC, it will synchronise so you can, for example, access your Outlook account if you use it. It also means you can see anything that you have stored in One Drive on the PC including photos. If you don't want this to happen, you'll need to store them elsewhere on the PC as you cannot do it directly from the phone. Nor can you remove the One Drive app to prevent this happening. No obvious issues with accessing the internet - it seems to respond quickly. As regards battery life, it seems fine to me but as I mainly use it for texting plus the odd call, it only needs charging every couple of days. That may not be the case if you're a more heavy user or one into playing games or music.Read full review

It would have cost too much to unlock!

I didn't realize till afterwards that it would cost a lot to unlock the phone.

Good features, easy to interpret.

I am not an IT guru and want something simple and easy to use and this phone is it. It has all the features I want as well as Cortana, so if I don't know something I can ask that feature. A good lightweight smartphone, that is uncomplicated; as yet there is nothing bad about it, and also was excellent value for money - thank you.Read full review

Upgrade.

The Nokia Lumia 530 was an upgrade for me from the Nokia 2330 which is a very basic handset. I am no techno wizard but this phone caters for my needs adequately. It is simple to use once you get used to the menu's and has a two day battery life. It keeps me up to-date on news and answers to problems are just a few flicks and taps away.Read full review

Great phone for the money

Does everything you need. Email, internet access, reasonable photos although no flash. Very easy to use. Best of all it fits easily into your pocket most smart phones are just too big.

Just bought it for the casing and battery.

Obviously this phone is not supported anymore but I bought it because the music player app is brilliant and loud. But after a few days this stopped working, so I've now swapped the casing onto my old Nokia whose case and on/off switch knackered. Read full review

Great little phone

Taken me a while to get used to it but getting along ok now. The body of the phone is a bit cheap looking but put it in a case and you don't see it. Reception is brilliant great signal strength. Battery life very good. Overall very pleased.Read full review
