Got a strong urge to play the cellphone version of American Idol on your handset (while singing "Pants on the Ground")? With the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Games edition now available in the U.S., you get to play 20 full games that are included free with the device including EA's American Idol. Both Gameloft and EA have 10 games that come included on the phone. The titles include Gameloft's Guitar Rock Tour 2, Pro Golf World Tour 2010 and Brain Challenge 2. The selections from EA, besides American Idol, include Monopoly, Sims 3, Tetris and Bejeweled. All other aspects of the phone remain the same as the original 5530 XpressMusic. You will be playing the games on a 2.9 inch resistive touchscreen with resolution of 360 X 640 pixels. A 3,2MP camera is on board with LED flash and AF. At $299 from the Nokia USA Store, the price is nearly $10 more than the original model. It is up to you to decicde if the 20 "free" games is worth the extra cash.
