4. Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
line

Nokia's first budget touchscreen phone offering, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is not too dissimilar to 5800 XpressMusic, also sporting the Symbian S60 5th edition smartphone user interface – but with a sub-£130 price tag at launch, it's a more affordable proposition.

Its 2.9-inch resistive touchscreen and build may reflect this, and it lacks 3G connectivity, but pleasingly it does have Wi-Fi onboard for high-speed online activity.

Sound quality is good through the in-ear phones supplied, and there's a 4GB memory card boxed as standard. You get plenty for your cash, and the phone impressed beyond the sum of its parts.
