As I have said on other threads, the build quality of the 8530 vs the 8330 leaves much to be desired. I do like the upgraded features on the 8530, which I'm sure could have been done on the 8330 platform, but I'm not impressed with the look and feel of the 8530; the battery door is one area which shows what cost cutting can do...very poor design, loose on models I held at Best Buy, and easily nicked and scratched when you want to open the door. When using the keyboard, you can feel the battery door moving.
