Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is getting ready to come to the market with another XpressMusic mobile phone, which is dubbed Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. The device hasn't been announced yet, but it seems that some of the features and capabilities that the handset is expected to come with have already made it into the wild.

According to Daily Mobile, a “reliable source” unveiled the fact that the world's largest mobile phone maker intended to release the aforementioned device to the market with a touchscreen display, and that the handset would be introduced at a certain point in September. Nokia has been reported lately to plan on launching three touchscreen devices during the ongoing year, which means that the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic could be one of them.

The specification list that leaked to the Web shows that the upcoming 5530 XpressMusic is expected to feature a 2.9-inch touchscreen display, along with a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, Wi-Fi connectivity, FM radio with RDS and a 3.5 headset jack. The handset will run under Symbian S60 5th Edition and will sport 150MB of internal memory, coupled with a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space. The Finnish company already has a touchscreen XpressMusic phone available on the market, the 5800, which sports a 3.2-inch display. Given the 2.9-inch screed that 5530 should come with, we might see it launched as a smaller version of the popular high-end mobile phone, which would also suggest that its price tag could be lower than that of Nokia 5800.

Based on the fact that a wide range of music enthusiasts have been attracted by the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic since the handset's launch last year, and the company managed to sell the first million units quite fast, we could expect the 5530 XpressMusic to also see a lot of traction on the market, in case the above specs prove true in the end.
