Brill. I have a Samsung D500 but due an upgrade, i took the motorola V3 and did not like it one bit so have returned it. I really like the look of the E530 but was worried that because its aimed more at woman it wouldnt be as good as other phones. I like the pinky purply one. Is the camera any good on it? Has she had any trouble with her reception as I have heard a few people saying it isnt good!

Camera is okay. Nothing spectacular but certainly not bad. It's a pretty stable little phone and I haven't heard of nay issues with signal strength. You find with smaller phones, the signal is often worse in poor signal areas but as long as your not in a wooded area or a valley there shouldn't be anny reason to worry about signal. If you buy online or over the phone you'll have 7 days to return a phone upgrade anyway(distance selling, doesn't apply to instore upgrades) and if you buy a new contract you get your 14 day cooling off period under the CCA so you could always get one and send it back if you find it's not up to scratch.

Yep, just got this phone, really nice

The only thing about the phone that's aimed at women is the 'Lifestyle' part. Apart from that it's just like any other phone

The graphics are really good, improved on the D500.

There's a good review with tons of pics of it here: http://mobile-review.com/review/samsung-e530-en.shtml

Thanks, I sent the motorola back because it just wasnt for me and I was within the 14days return time. Have to wait until the return centre receive phone back before I can make new order. Posted yesterday so they said try phoning on sat. The D600 is nice but a little bigger than the D500 i feel it too similar to d500 and I fancy a change. Def gonna get the e530! Silly question but can you tell me if there is the option to set a pink skin you know how you can change colour of menus etc? Sounds daft but I am a little pink obsessed!!
Thanks for the replies!

Yes, there's a pink skin!

There's blue, green, orange and pink

Have a look at these pics I just took of the pink if you like: Main screen & Menu screen

WOW I am excited now!! Thanks for taking the pictures! On the reviews I saw images of all skins except a pink one which I thought was strange for a phone aimed at girls!! I phoned o2 today but they havent received my v3 back yet so cant place new order, they said I was to call back on thursday to see it it was returned yet, think i be calling on Monday tho as I am impatient. Cant wait to get it!!
