I have a friend who has a 5800, and I have the 5530. Both are good phones (: I prefer the 5530 in looks and size, and i find that the touch responds faster on the 5530 - but that’s probably because it’s the newer model. Either way, I think both are good phones, but if you don’t want to spend loads on phones, then the 5530 is very, very similar.
