I love this phone & have had it for over 2 years now! I love the slim layout of it & the features of it not to mention the games. & the colour which is Pink! The only thing that lets the phone down is it doesn't hold a memory slot & doesn't have a lot of memory. Oh well I still love it!

I've had this phone for 2 years & have never had any problems with it, there are not really any bad points about it only there is not that much memory.

The camera is quite good & takes photos quickly. I like when you type in a phone number & you can change the colours of the numbers. It is really easy to use as well. I have dropped it loads of times by accident & it has never stopped working & once dropped it in the bath & nothing happened, it still carried on working! & to say I've had it 2 years & it's been thrown about, there's not that many scratches on it! Great phone, love it =).

I've had this phone for 2 years now & I've never had any problems with it. It's really cool & very easy to use. The memory's great too, mine's only half full.

Overall, an amazing phone!

By the way Laura, the songs that are preloaded are called Sunshine Baby by Sensuous & Pure Devotion by Freeloader. Hope that helps :).

Right, I had this phone for a year & a bit. Then one day my uncle snapped it by accident & I was gutted. The one thing I really want to know is what songs are already preloaded on to this phone? There is one in particular song on & I love it but it's doing my head in that I can't think of its name. Please can someone tell me? Thanks. Laura.

I've had this phone for two & a half years & it has been the best phone I have ever had (& that is a fair few! ).

It is amazingly strong & durable, it has been dropped & smashed & even dropped in a pint of beer yet it still works. After being through a lot of trauma its casing has now cracked but even now, with half of its front missing it still works!

It is purely for aesthetic reasons that I am now replacing it. I did consider just buying another E530 because it is such a great phone but I have instead bought the very similar E570, mostly because it has an external memory slot, the one thing that the E530 lacks. However, the camera on this phone isn't as good & doesn't have a flash & also doesn't have the dual interface that allows you to self portrait without opening the folder. The E570 is a good phone though but I think the E530 will always be my favourite phone, I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone!

This phone is great! I have had it for one & a half years now & it hasn't broken once! I have dropped it thousands of times too & it still works to perfection. I am getting a newer model soon! FAB PHONE!

Reviewer: Becky Scw - Wales, UK
Date: 12th Jan 2008

Such a shame this phone has been discontinued. They should make an updated newer version of it that has a better camera resolution & that isn't pink! The e570 would be so much better if the other colours were easier to buy. Loved the e530. I threw it at walls & dropped it on slate floors & it didn't break. It did eventually when I fell over & landed on it in my pocket. Surprisingly it does still work but the screen smashed.

I loved this phone.

I love my phone! I have had it for 2 years nearly & I love it. But I am scared to think if you get a new phone how I will transfer all my things on my current phone to my new phone. LOL! Anyway I am just saying anyone who wants to buy it. It's a great phone but its a little old so try n luck for an updated version, enough, love to you all.

I have had this phone for about a year & a half & it is honestly a brilliant phone. I have managed to hold 17 songs on it before & that amazed me as the phone doesn't really have a lot of memory space. The phone is fairly light & isn't too big in size, the phone is strong & hard wearing. The Bluetooth has a fast connection & I am sure this phone will suit your needs if you are looking for something that doesn't need loads of memory space. I have loved my phone.

Reviewer: Cat - US
Date: 28th Oct 2007

This phone is girly & great for a simple mobile. The camera isn't great & the flash is way too bright. When you play back recordings, it's far too quiet. After a while some of the buttons stop working.

On the other hand, the phone is very stylish & is easy to use. Overall, this phone is quite good with some good features.

I've Had This Phone For A Year & A Half It's A Great Little Phone But I Just Wished That It Had A Memory Slot Then It Would Be Perfect. Also Sometimes When It's In My Pocket It Falls Out Because Of the Shape.

I feel that this is a great phone the size is perfect the only problem is that when you want to have loudspeaker when you ring some1 you can't cos it don't have that feature but otherwise it is an excellent phone signal is good to.

Reviewer: Karol - Prague, Czech Republic

This phone I would class as an older version now, BUT I must say that it is great. Its design is nice except from the very small screen, slightly matters to me, otherwise its menu is really simple & the graphics are pretty with a beautiful range of colours. The problem I hate is that I can't get any MP3 into it, but what's an ipod for then? So that doesn't matters to me. I am really thinking about the Samsung U600, it looks wow!

Well I really like my phone & I take loads of pics with it but its really annoying cus I have got so many great picz on it & there isn't a data cable : ( I am trying to buy 1 but I don't no where from :' (

Reviewer: Claire - UK

Yes it's designed for women but really does it have to be so patronising. A pink schedule for goodness sake. I don't know about others but my maths is more than good enough to work out my cycle using a calendar. Don't even get me started on the fragrance type (similar to a quiz in a teen magazine) & biorhythms.

The thing that confuses me most however is that for a phone designed for women & is packed with corresponding 'features' it has really male games loaded onto it: Airship Racing; Arch Angel (flying & shooting) & Freekick.

Good thing you can download games & I have. I think Game Mobile works best.

Reviewer: Sumana - India
Date: 9th Feb 2007

Have had this baby for a year now, & I love it! I have it in blue (just as well -- can't stand pink), & the features are brilliant. My only gripe is the playback volume for voice recordings. I am a journo, & used it once to tape an interview -- & then had to piece it all back together from memory because I couldn't hear anything at all on playback! Apart from that, I wouldn't change this phone for any newer model. Though a year old now, it still gives many phones a run for its money.

Reviewer: Laurie - Edinburgh, UK
Date: 17th Jan 2007

OK, I've had this phone for nearly a year & a half now & I must say. It's awesome! It has all the features anyone would look for in a phone. It is easy to use, it looks great & is really light & compact.

the camera isn't totally amazing, but you can't expect a lot from a 1 megapixel camera. The phone has a flash which is really handy too! I've never had any memory problems, there's plenty of room for messages, videos, pictures etc. It stores over 200 messages at one time & well over that in pictures. You can also put a security lock on your messages & media, which is accessed with a pin code (really good feature! ). The texting facility is really easy to use too. For some reason, some people say it's not great for predictive texters that send a lot of messages. But I fall under that category & this is rubbish! All you have to do is hold down one button for a second or two!

The only complaint I'd have about the phone is that you are restricted to 10 message tones, & ringtones or downloaded sounds cannot be used. This is never really a problem though, 10 is enough!

The battery life is pretty good, the phone will last at least 4 days, being on all the time, before needing charged.

The features for women are great too! Such as the biorhythm feature & height to weight ratio etc.

The screen on the front of the phone means you can take pictures whilst looking at yourself (which is really handy for checking your hair etc! ). The phone also has Bluetooth, & pretty good sound quality!

So. If you're considering buying this phone. Then do! It's a great investment & a very reliable friend!

I loved this phone for the simple fact it is pink! It's so light & fun, I particularly liked the fact that it tells you when your next ovulation will be!

I didn't like the texts, I am text mad, & I get so frustrated with adding 'new' words everyday! Apart from that its great fun!

Oh & I love the little pink case it comes in to protect it! Hehe

The design is sleek & sleek but some of the features are a bit annoying & I can't seem 2 get music to upload onto it, would b better if there was a data cable, but all in all it's a great phone.

Reviewer: Lauretta - Swindon, UK
Date: 2nd Nov 2006

I have had this phone for over a year & mainly I love it but why why why has no one mentioned that it is NOT GOOD for texting? I text a lot & this phone is not capable of keeping new words that I add in predictive text. It has some words in the dictionary for predictive text obviously, but any words I add are not kept. I find this really annoying as I have to type them in manually all the time. I have just upgraded to something different. Shame.

Reviewer: Kelly - Surbiton, UK
Date: 29th Sep 2006

I have had this phone for over a year now & I have to say I do love it!!!! It is so pretty & light, I have had no probs with the battery life it lasts for at least 3 days before I need to charge again & it charges in about an hour! Which is fab coz if I forget to do it I can stick it on charge for half an hour before I go out & it's practically fully charged! AMAZING!

Ok... now downsides... It takes pictures by itself when in my bag as there is a camera button on the outside & I have to delete abut 60-100 black pictures every few months. The camera flash is a bit rubbish too so doesn't work well in the dark & you can't zoom to see pics. It is very easy to cancel texts by accident because the across arrow is right next to the cancel button (they can be saved though) & like others pointed out you have to open it to see your missed calls.

But if you are looking for a pretty, simple & easy to use phone then this phone is perfecto even my mum could work it out!

This is a pretty good & handy cellphone. Sound quality is very good especially with wearing the earphone! Just love the functions it has got, but I'm little bit disappointed at the games it originally had.

I love my phone. The design & it's so reliable as in it can fall from immense heights n still survive! I must say the battery life is rubbish but I think that's because I didn't charge it up for a long time when I first had it.

Reviewer: Anna - Lincolnshire, UK

I always stick with Samsung phones, I think are the easiest to use & light. However I did only find 2 faults with it, the fact that there is no speaker fone on it, & when u record onto voice it doesn't play back loud at all. Apart from the it is a very nice, stylish phone with all the features a girl could want!

I love Samsung phones. They are always SO cool. The E530 hasn't let the side down. HOWEVER, I am WELL disappointed at the amount of downloaded 'stuff' I can't use. And am really annoyed at the hassle it took to try & get an e-mail account set up. I will be up-grading in the New Year, & will have to do a LOT of research before get stuck with another phone that doesn't really give me all I want.

Reviewer: Jesper - Copenhagen, Denmark
Date: 9th Jun 2006

Nice design & features, despite it only being dual band. I am disappointed that a usb cable didn't come with it, since it requires a special one. It doesn't matter though, because I am returning it, since the sound quality is horrible. It's really muffled & if there's any noise around you people can't hear you. My old phone sounds so much clearer & better.

Reviewer: Saima - Pakistan

I fell in love with this phone the day I bought it. I couldn't believe this cute little phone was packed with so many features. Unfortunately, my phone got stolen last week & I can't yet decide on another phone which is as classy & feature-packed as my Samsung E-530. Someone sent me a Motorola V3i, which I guess is a very very popular phone these days. But what the hell, I still don't like it better than my Samsung. So all u girls out there, just go for the E-530. It's an excellent phone, great camera, great features, great colours to choose from & a great size to handle. Perrrfect!!!

Reviewer: Emma - Rotherham, UK

I really liked the phone when I first got it, although 6 months down the line some things are really starting to grate on me. There is no speakerphone, & when you record a sound you have to listen into the earpiece. The MP3 player seems good but I have no idea how to get my songs onto it despite weeks of searching the internet & asking around! Also you can see on the cover screen if you have a text message, but you have to open the phone to know you have a missed call. Also, (sorry groan!) you cannot set a downloaded tone to be the alert for a text message.

I think it is a lovely phone, but I think a few features have been missed out which would make it a great phone. Camera, video & screen are fab. A really girly, nifty little number!

I have been looking around to replace my phone for a while so when I came across the Samsung E530 I thought it had a great look, was very small & had everything on it that I wanted. I have had the E530 for a week now & the only fault I have found is that the sound quality is a bit too faint & a bit crackly at times. Generally it is a v good phone.

This is an amazing handset I love everything about it. It looks cool if you are out & about & its a great fashion accessory. This is defiantly a girls phone as the boys might get some weird looks as the phone is silver & pink in colour. My best friend thinks it looks cool & that is good enough for me. A lot of features on this one which are well good. I give it full marks for style.
