Sony Ericsson K530 is a standard candybar and is offered in two color variations – Warm Silver (our unit was that color type) and Thunder Black. The difference between both is the coloration of the keypad and the side part of the phone, as well as the area round the camera. While keeping almost the same weight as K510 (92 gr. / 3.2 oz), the device has “slimmed” and even gained a number of additional options. Its dimensions (102 x 46 14 mm / 4 x 1.8 x 0.5 in) allows for putting it into the jacket or jeans pocket without any bulging.
The display is 2 inch, with resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 262 144 colors, a very wide visibility angle, and the images are well saturated and contrasting, which makes them decently visible even at bright daylight. It has the same colors like the K510, but with better screen resolution. The camera buttons and those for volume control are on the right side, and the slot for the memory card is on the left. The On/Off key is on the top – a situation that has already become standard for Sony Ericsson as well.
Sony-Ericsson-K530 is a slim 3G phone that gives full and fast access to the Web, plus performance imaging with a 2 megapixel camera and a variety of news, weather and entertainment features. It will even give you the weather forecast. It's also the first phone to be compatible with the new GPS Enabler HGE-100, also announced today, which plugs into the phone to turn it into your own personal satellite navigation system. The most affordable 3G phone from Sony Ericsson yet, the K530 will keep you in-touch and on-track wherever you are. Its slim, pocket-sized form factor means you can take it with you anywhere and enjoy the full 3G experience.
The 2 megapixel camera on the Sony Ericsson K530 boasts a x2.5 digital zoom and video recording capabilities. There's 16MB onboard storage, enough for you to build-up your own photo album of personal favorites. As your photo and music libraries grow, so can the K530's memory, thanks to support for Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™).
Sony Ericsson K530 3G smartphone is another example of technology convergence in the mobile phone market. It can rapidly become a personal navigator with the addition of the previously reviewed plug-in Sony Ericsson HE-100 GPS Enabler. In what one might call a double up of convergence, the HGE-100 is actually a stereo headset with a GPS receiver built-in is much smaller than specialist GPS car navigation devices.
