SINGAPORE - It’s done! The last layer of the parcel has been removed and it’s a phone! A Nokia 5530 XpressMusic to be precise. You guys all knew something was up when those last layers were revealed.

Taking its cue from the Nokia 5800, this music and entertainment device has a full touch interface and a new home screen and Contacts Bar - all in a sightly smaller and sleeker package. This device not only brings the great media handling that one comes to expect from an XpressMusic phone, but the new Contacts bar brings your people to the forefront.

In addition to being revealed in Pass the Parcel, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is on show at the Nokia Connection event in Singapore today. Read on for more detail on this product and the Pass the Parcel winner.

The scoop on the newcomer
I know you all want the skinny on the 5530, but you already know it from the game. Yes, this phone has a large touch screen with tactile feedback (I like to say it touches you back) and no physical keys; a 3.2-megapixel camera and LED flash; Bluetooth, WiFi, and EDGE for all your connection needs; a music player for all the stuff you download from the Nokia Music Store; widescreen video playback at 640×360; hot-swappable MicroSD slot (4GB included); and a standard 3.5mm audio plug for your rocking headsets.

Singapore will be seeing the Nokia 5530 XM and after the site, Cell Passion played around with it, they found it better than the 5800 XM. The 5530 XM has more of a premium look and a metallic finish than the 5800 XM.

Nokia users can add up to 20 contacts on the 5530 XM thanks to the improved interface and Nokia has also a music player plugin that displays album art. "come with music" is still in question when they launch the 5530 XM.
