to bluedragon,

3510i and 3530 are the same kind of phones, they share the same software & hardware, not to forget the same silly bugs too...only difference is 3510i is meant for african/europe market and has a orange plastic body while 3530 is meant to be sold in asia pacific region and has a dark blue plastic body...

hope this clears any of your doubts on these two models...thank u!!!

the orange is the only thing at the phone that i don't like !

is there a possibility to get a blue body kit or something ?
