When I first saw the K530i, I was stunned ... stunned that such a good quality phone with an abundance of features could sell at such a low price!
I have had this phone for about 4 months now, and not one have I been disappointed with the purchase. I wish I could say that about so many of the other phones I had.
Sleek design, mine being a gun metal grey colour, with good sized buttons, good features, and small enough to be discreet in a back pocket - while at the same time being rugged enough to withstand the normal daily punishments i subject it to.
Speaker quality for receiving phone calls is excellent, and is also great for playback of any media files.
Buttons are large enough to use with ease, especially when it comes to texting. No problems encountered when it comes to sending or receving SMS or MMS.
Battery life is excellent. I use my phone with Bluetooth switched on, and I still get a good average of about 48 hours on standby.
What I really love about this phone is the ability to customize it with the endless amount of downloadable themes available through third party websites. The ringtones and alarm tones can come from mp3 or aac format.
While the phone has a small enough internal memory, it is expandable through the micro SD slot to the side.
While it is inexpensive, it doesnt look or feel to be. It does not have the cheap "plastic" feel that so many others tend to have. This is a quality phone and I would 100% recommend it to anyone!

Good start, but what's it like to use as a phone? For calls and texts etc?

Not a bad review, but you've done a few within an hour, try not to do too many in one go, but a nice start!
