Sony Ericsson K530 - Review

Phone Arena is testing and reviewing mobile phones for you. This video focus' on the Sony Ericsson K530.

This is Phone Arena a video of the Sony Ericson K530. The Sony Ericsson K530 is a mid-level candy bar phone with average dimensions. It is comparatively slim with the combination of two colors, gold and warm silver. The phone is equipped with two megapixel camera and because of the three 3G support there is another one in front for video calls. The display is two inch with 262,000 colors but with the resolution of the old Sony Ericsson phones. The keys below are one next to another without any spaces between them. The navigation keyboard consists of two soft keys, internet and short cut keys back and clear keys. In the middle is the pad key which replaces the joystick used in the older company models. The other keys are big with the good relief and there is no way to push the wrong button or to press two at a time even if you have big thumbs. On this side is the memory slot for the supported M2 cards on the other sides is the shortcut button for the camera which can be use for activating kit and for taking pictures just like a cybershot. The software of the phone is like the one in all of Sony Ericsson models. You can change the appearance of the menu with the themes. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t support themes like F500 or W580 and this here are standard ones. The phonebook is standard one for Sony Ericsson and there is nothing here to see except the name and number fields, there are other options to save differently information for one contact. The same thing is the organizer mail, nothing new here too except for one thing the video call position. As you can see the music player is standard one typical for the non-walkman phones. The camera interface is in one escape orientation and looks like the one used in other cybershot phones. The settings menu in camera mode is horizontal too with different options for many audio adjustments. As a whole K530 is decent representative of mid-range series with comparatively good dimensions. Each has a decent music player and the two megapixel camera but it cannot compete with the walkman or cybershot phones.
