  • You can buy a new battery on amazon :)

  • Was awesome phone back in the day. Served me since 2011 with original battery, what now finally died on me. So time to move on :), if only the battery had lasted while longer until the new nokia's are out.When MS took over they closed the ovi and browsing with it was very slow to modern standards.It worked great for what it was used ,mainly calling and listening music :)

  • Xender

  • very boaring mobile ever

  • and we ca'nt type English proper :3 first of all is old outdated Symbian based phone, for sure u can't watch clips on whatsapp or Youtube or FB as they requires newer technologies which Symbian can't support, so don't expect to be like WoW.. on the other side i have this phone for near 5 years now, and is still working like a brand new and i would use it all together with my new Xperia now, as i need 2 phones

  • 5230 model phone is good condition and internet also speed

  • what a beautiful phone yaar! But 3g speed is very weak man.!

  • single sim

  • C'mon man its a 2009 mobile and features resistive touchscreen. Don't compare with latest touchscreen mobiles!!! Still it does its job very well and the feedback response is very nice.

  • single sim

  • 3G

  • Both

  • Install close whatsapp application from nokia store

  • Using it since the past four and half years and I still absolutely love it!!! The ruggedness, fast internet, reliable GPS have made me put off upgrading my handset time and again. Opera Browser and WhatsApp ensure that for regular internet browsing and chat this phone still holds its own. However with the official Youtube App gone from Nokia Store this phone is finally showing its age in terms of online video play. Plus Nokia itself is gone and Symbian is no more.... The low internal memory also prevents to install updated apps... Maybe then in another six months I'll upgrade but its doubtful if another phone will ever give me the same value as this!!!

  • If there is one underrated Nokia mobile then the 5230 is that mobile. Used it for about 4 years as some of my fellow users over here. The phone is tough,period. Durable,flexi usable at any moment. Though it doesn't have much to give when it comes to modern day technology,but you are able to improve your mass storage,has good internet quality,accessing e-mails etc. Overall good quality for an entry level symbian.

  • This is the best phone ever I have used last. Its accuracy, touch, pixel, features and speed is great.

  • i can not eccess internet and can not downloud.what can i do because i've tried everything.and how can i create space in my external memory.

  • i used this mobile for last 4 year and its my favt mobile its touch and battery awesome

  • How can i put the data in off position in this phone? Becoz of wat's app's continuous connectivity battery drains early.

  • To format nokia 5230 dial *#7370#

  • I want to know that nokia 5230 is 3g/2g?

  • Tis is one of the gud products ini nokia. Simply to use and super large touchscreen. Net is very fast.and awesome musical players etc....lookinga stylish

  • This is one of the best mobile, i fell down from hands enumerous times but still its working it was such a wonderfull manufactured from nokia, it has every features that mobile needs to have, if u compare with other mobiles now a days its not that big thing but it still works, i have been using this mobile for 5 years, i havent seen any sort of problem thats the quality of Nokia great in quality..

  • Can u please tell me it is a single sim or dual sim mobile?

  • I m using nokia 5230 from past 5 years.its best and successful mobile from nokia.after 5 years also its suppoting manything like whatsapp and many apps. I like Nokia 5230 very much and its really super.Hats off nokia :)

  • For 2009 it was a good phone. 5 years ago were different expectations, and different touchscreens: rezistive... Nokia has made and makes good, tough, resistant phones! I've used all kind of brands and types for the past 15 years and Nokia phones were my favourites. I'm an Android fan and addict so I don't like Nokia's windows OS and that's why I use something else. But for emerging markets and for people that just want to talk, huge battery life and reliability - Nokia is the brand of choice. Best regards!

  • right .....touch response is just unbearable ...now a days all kind of toch phones have very good touch response...even china handset like sigmatel, kechao, leephone,geepee, touch response better than 5230....

  • This, Nokia 5230, is the best selling smartphone in history. 150 million. Be proud of it. Nothing will ever come close.

  • Its working fine i used it more than 2 yrs and no problem only one thing it does not support bangla.

  • The Nokia 5230 is the worst phone I have ever owned. I have changed the battery twice and in the three years I have owned it, it still has a problem with suddenly overheating and turning off. It also will drop the charge randomly. Going from fully charged to 1 bar in less than one day. I have called customer support in the past and been told that there is no problem with the phone! The touch screen is also completely random as to when it works. I have had times when the screen will not respond and I can not access the phone. I have to try repeatedly and it finally works. I am touching it hard or pressing it firmly and yet it does this. I purchased this phone because a past Nokia phone I had was a gem. This one is not! It makes me question even purchasing this brand again

  • To Mr Fixx: Use RealPlayer Converter (free with RealPlayer download) to convert any video to Nokia N97 (it is preset on the converter). It will be converted to a 3GPP format that is perfect fro your phone (screen size, resoltuion etc is already preset). The video can then be transferred to your phone and will play perfectly.

  • I've owned a 5230 for well over 3 years. It's fallen in a bath full of water. It's been dropped on concrete many times from about 3 to 4 feet. After all of this it's still in good condition for it's age. It's definitely robust. The minor irritations are: (1) The occasional OS freeze which can only be cured by removing the battery; (2) If the screen is locked I am unable to stop an alarm and can only put the alarm into a sleep state. On the plus side: (1) It's very robust; (2) The sat nav is great; (3) The touch screen is fine; (4) It's dirt cheap. Overall, considering the price I paid new: 7/10

  • i have previously had the handset for 24 months i have nothing but complaints with the handset it turs itself off freezes. The touch screen itself i shocking absoulte disgrace by nokia in my opinion

  • the is always showing failed to create file so how do I fix that, because I cant access my Wattsupp.

  • Okay I just checked videos with max 30fps are supported on Nokia 5230. Hey & 1 more thing, when I wrote 'mpeg4' video codec, I meant video codecs 'x264 & xvid' are not supported. So maybe the video that you transferred in your phone might be of 'x264 or xvid' codec. Hope this helps :)

  • Okay I just checked videos with max 30fps are supported on Nokia 5230.

  • Hey Amit, I too have this phone I don't have any issues while playing big movies in .mp4 format. I use 'Any Video Converter' Free Software on my PC to convert videos & then transfer them to my phone. Check the following:- 1) Select the 'mpeg4' video codec but not 'x264/xvid' codecs. 2) Set video resolution to '640x360' but not greater than that. 3) Set audio codec to 'mp3/aac/wma'. 4) Set fps i.e., Frames per second to 25 or whatever the original video has, I think 5230 runs videos with max 30fps though I'm not sure about 30fps. In my phone videos with 25fps-28fps run amazingly fine in Real Player. 5) Transfer the converted video to your phone & You're done! ; Hope this helps :) I've not tried using Nokia's Video Manager in PC Suite Software but I think it works fine too.

  • Rohit, Try updating your phone's firmware as well as download the updates from 'Software Update', it will resolve the problems. I think you might be having a higher capacity microsd card eg. 8gb, 16gb. When I inserted 8gb card on my phone some of the songs were not showing in the music library but after installing the music player update & firmware updates the problem was resolved. But specifically in YOUR CASE, I think you should 1st take full backup of your phone on your PC, then do a complete reset including formatting the memory card & hard resetting the phone. Ater doing all that, Restore the backup data to your phone, install the updates & you're done! hope this helps :)

  • I think you might perhaps have selected the wrong video codec. I use 'Any Video Converter' software to convert videos on my PC & then tranfer them to my phone. I select the codec 'mpeg4' & Video resolution as '640x360'. also check the frames per second 'fps' In my Nokia 5230, videos with 25-28fps run just fine. I'm not very sure of videos with higher fps. But, I think videos with 30fps run fine too. Also, check your Audio codec 'wma,mp3,aac' are nicely supported. I prefer 'mp3/wma' audio codec.

  • Ya me too. I too love this phone. It's infact better than iPhone 3GS on many counts, for further details you can search the web for that.

  • Buddy, Symbian Anna is not supported for this phone as of now. Until & unless Nokia announces otherwise.

  • Hey don't post untrue facts. I've upgraded my phone to firmware v.51 & after having installed all the relevant updates, my phone is working really good. Kindly install new updates to make your phone work well. Ultimately, It's your choice whether you want to upgrade or not.

  • dear friends..do you know...now we can update our 5230 to symbian anna firmware

  • This right this phone is using gud

  • is this wi-fi

  • I like it very much, Very nice hand set and good looking in every moment of life.

  • Nokia 5233 is similar to 5230.bt it lacks 3g & gps.this mbl is a fantastic multifunctional mobile.u can use msg,intrnt,game,video,music simultaneously.u can minimise any apps.this is i lik in my fone 5230.

  • This is one of the best phones i had in my past. Unfortunately it fell down into a water bucket, its damaged now.....so lets start with the cons first CONS 1. No LED flash 2. No Wifi PROS 1. long battery backup 2. Gud games, apps & themes available 3. Fast and easy to use 4. Reasonable price 5. All over a very gud phone.

  • I have it, if you are not on internet all the time is a good option. Fast, nice and cheap...

  • 3g support

  • Come on this is already an antique, the resistive touch screen is dealth slow & unresponsive, the browser is extremely slow, i have miss count how many time it reboot in a day while i using it back in 2010-2011, my 5230 is currently worlking as paper weight for my desk. If you insist buying a Nokia try 700 or 701, if not get an mid range Android, forget about this piece of antique.

  • Don't buy this phone,i have it since 2010 but its outdated model and OS,5230 is too slow in all ways,touch response is also very bad but screen quality is good,i recommend nokia 500(i have it) or 700(its awsm,ive tested)to all 5230 user to replace it,those belle phones are just amazing,fast and handy

  • you can get it. as a person who's had it for 2yrs its a pretty reliable phone. I've dropped it so many times, and all I've gotten from it is a few scrapes on the back and around the sides. i don't get scratches or glass breaking on mine since the sides are elevated to become a sort of buffer for it. although for a short time it would freeze on me, its good fr a touchscreen that doesnt need a phone plan.

  • its good phone. But i miss wifi.

  • i am planning to buy this handset ..!! any comment?? good or bad?? should buy or not??

  • Nokia 5230 is best 5233 is so so

  • The only different is that 5233 has no GPS

  • I recommmend nokia 500 belle to replace 5230 just like i done,using fast 500 save ur time and nervs

  • what the different in nokia 5233 & 5230??? thank u.

  • I did not like this phone at all bad camera, slow, and very glitchy. Trying to find a new phone that is cheap any recomendations?

  • I have tried almost 17 ttpod player of different versions from different sites but i couldn't install any one of them. It says Certificate Error all the time. What should i do? Plz Help

  • I have heard that symbian belle or anna updates will not be made available for this handset due to the low processor speed. Even if you have done that then plz let me know how it is possible!

  • Well what can I say . I have this phone for 2 years and it was very cool when appeared but now ... Yes it has sum good points like the price or the screen quality ( 320x640 , 16 mil. collors ) but its already too bad for these days. I wanna buy now an e7 or c7 ( havent chosen yet ). But still Nokia 5230 is a good phone ( somewhere between MEDIUM and BAD , because its old ). Thanks

  • no camera flash light.

  • Its very nice

  • worst phone i have EVER had! screen freezes alot! needs updates, but will not do it. some how manages to delete everything off my memory card. slow as anything. this is my second nokia 5230. first one shut itself down!

  • Very very bad phone. It hangs a lot, poor screen display, only 2mp camera, and price is rs7800 in patna. So go for samsung galaxy y duos or nokia 500. Buying this mob is the wastage of money. Depending upon you what you buy. THANKS

  • its super duper awesome mobile!!!

  • I m using this phone for more than a year, it is excellent phone & is a true value for money. negative point : 1. basic camera 2mp, but video recording is fine with 640x480 @ 30fps. 2. not supporting symbian anna or belle due to processor speed limitation :-( so sad. but still its an excellent touch phone (of similar range).

  • Its a nice phone,u just dont kn0w how 2 use it.

  • worthful for money

  • all smartphones should be like 5230 -long battery life

  • I've had this phone for just over a year. It's not awesomely amazing, but it is quite surprisingly good in terms of customization and speed. You can also get the PC Suite to sync all your messages, contacts, music etc. The camera is ok, but also not amazing. One thing I would say is that the WiFi doesn't connect to any connection point, you have to go through the network internet. (Or maybe that's just the contract I have? I don't know). Battery life does last a long time if you leave the phone locked for a while (with no other applications running). I think the longest my phone has lasted is 2.5 days without charging. It runs on Symbian OS which is ok, but not all of the good apps are compatible from the Nokia Ovi store, so there may be some frustration there. My friends have blackberries, iPhones and Androids, and my phone often feels inferior, especially since the handset is quite chunky. To be honest, I only have this phone because it's a step up from my old one, and I'm waiting for the next phone in my contract... another few months to wait unfortunately.

  • Very nice model i love all nokia team and cell phones thanks

  • the software of this phone is too boring and sound is also poor better go for Samsung star

  • cool phone, but without a wilan..werk...! please incl the compability of wifi ..on ur next updates

  • My Nokia 5230 lasts for about one and half year including dropping few times. Pro - Free GPS - touch screen - long lasting battery - Micro SD slot - good call quality, loud ringtone. Con - no wifi - cannot read foreign language exclude English - sometime insensitive touch screen - SLOW SLOW GPS (usually it takes half hour to load one destination, and almost impossible to get a signal during bad weather.) Overall, I spent less than 150$ on this phone. you can say it worth every penny if you do not expect a lot from a phone.

  • nokia 5230 is the best

  • Worst phone I have ever had. Since I bought it at a block buster, (big mistake) I haven't been able to send or receive picture or video texts, but I still pay for it. Anyone know how to fix that, cause the phone company sure doesn't and wont give me a new phone. Long story.

  • how to disable camera sound in nokia5230? i really hate it

  • thank you so much for help,couldnt send no text or picture.hard reset worked thanks

  • *#7780# � Soft Reset Code, It restores the factory setting without affecting your contacts, messages, files etc.It�ll ask for the lock code. The dafult lock code is 12345. *#7370# � Hard Reset Code, on entering this code it�ll show you the same message �Restore all original phone settings� but this time it�ll erase all the data stored in the phone memory. So, use it only when some serious software problem occurs such as virus attack.Take phone meory data backup on memory card or PC before doing hard format.

  • Great Cell Phone i have ever Used after My N Series...

  • switch off the phone then press &hold green,red,camera&power key together for few sec.it will format your device.

  • hav used dis fone fr so many years....i like to use dis fone fr browsing da internet cos is very fast nd convenient.

  • display very bad ,function is very slow

  • i agree,5230 is very good tv and radio phone..i watch also every day same channels as u..plus SPB TV and yamgo tv channels (HiTV is nice)..so exellent tv channels are Al jazeera,France 24,Press tv,SPB TV,IBN tv(these 5 great tv apps. free from nokia store) and yamgo tv,..i have also nokia internet radio in my 5230..awesome phone and battery life is very good

  • 5233 gps navigation = no 5230 gps navigation = yes

  • Its truly a grt phone.I hav no regrets.

  • pls i have nokia 5230 dat can not boot again, it displayed ;phone start up failed, contact your retailer; pls pals wat is d solution

  • Whats the difference between nokia 5230 and nokia 5233

  • This fone is the best value for money......superb feature, dynamic operating system and faster internet gives full satisfaction to its user. according to the value standard I rate this fone 10 out of 10......

  • you must tap on the message body, afterwords it will pop the keyboard, than flip it to have the full querty.

  • but we don't get battery backup with android phones, so in my views i suggest Nokia 5230 is the best for that price, regarding all parameters

  • 5230vari nice i am lick

  • Nokia 5230 is better than galaxy y bcoz it is faster in internet,many application supportive i.e symbian or java apps.

  • i have been using this phone for about 6 months now, and am quiet satisfied. The display & interface is good, although in bright sunlight its hard to read, as in most lcd screens. The touch response is very accurate and good. I love the handwriting feature and prefer that. Audio is a crisp and clear , but volume is limited for music and even alarm. Internet connectivity and call connectivity are very good. Always shows network reception where other phones dont. The camera is a great asset . Picture quality in both day light and night is good, though limited to 2 MP. Images are clear, colour are accurately capture and response is quick. The video quality is too good. I found that the video and images sometimes are even better than many compact cameras and most camera phones. Overall a very good buy. If u dont care abt wi-fi or dual sim, this is one of the best touch screen phones to buy at its price. (about Rs6500)

  • Galaxy y is much much better than that of 5230 because galaxy y is android phone and it has android 2.3 . it has very much smooth touch and very fast. believe me .

  • I recently got the Nokia 5230, but the problem now is that my compose message dialogue box ain't opening... can someone help me with this?... i would really appreciate... nice phone though, just the absence of a camera flash plus a stylus groove...

  • i have one ov dat bt it was sent from london but here in uganda it shows offline mode what can i do?

  • this phone display is really good , i have 4.3 phone with 540x960 display so i can see pixels, but on this one its not possible to see, buy this phone cause for 150$ its the best choise!

  • gps work is integrated. use gamin is free and cost is 00

  • Who is better nokia5230 or galaxy y

  • u will solve it by resetting ur phone. close ur phone+ press down red+green+camera kew+start up batton. try this.

  • Yes ,

  • Hi had da fone nw 4 18 months n wat i can say its a gr8 fone bt its downside is da ba3,hv 2 charge it evri 24hrs n monday bought a new ba3 wich is evn worse hs 2 b charged evri 12hrs. Wats da best nokia in terms of a ba3?

  • its to good

  • i bought this mobile before three days very nice to handle

  • i hav this phone for past 3 years..good to have it..userfriendly...long lasting...

  • how to use this phne as web cam

  • its a pretty good phone ,it fell numerous times from my hands nothing happened,easy to use the camera is really good but when it comes to the music the sound is a bit low but the quality is GR8.

  • I have this phone for about 2 years already and I can say that it was pretty much the best bang for the buck that I could buy at that time.Since I've bought it,it suffered of numberous drop out of hand,I even hit it on the ground on purpose one time in a very bad day of mine. If,in the beginning,I was afraid not to broke the touchscreen,now I can say that it it a lot more tough that I even imagine. The downside at it,nowadays is,the fact that doesn't charge via microUSB,the video in picture resolution(640x480 is not enough anymore,althoug unfortunelly a lot of brand new models does't come not even closer) and the fact that wi-fi is missing. Again,I don't regret not even a bit the fact that I've bought it. But if I have to buy it again,now,in present days,there are lots of better choises(more expensive,but far more better). It was a very good phone.At his time.

  • hey i was thinking about buying this phone, but i was wondering if there are any negatives about it? is the camera ok?

  • tip with phone closed,hold green red and camera button and hold the startup button.,your phone hardreseting...

  • good phone

  • its a great cell phone and an idiot could only be fed up of it. Just some times its speakers go out of order and then get normal after some minutes. A few speed problems can be repaired by formating it when it gets overloaded and the internet speed is too good for cellphones with this price. There are thousands of apps available for this modle on the net.Its a good choice go for it.

  • Lots of bugs. I've won it some months ago and for me it's too expensive for what it is. Now, it's unusable because I cannot receive any calls( people get my answer phone). Nokia loses his worth...

  • good phone internet good speed

  • I bought this 1 year ago and am now fed up with it. it is very very slow and have to wait after every option or selection, Hangs very frequently, Multiple items selection is a headache, No option to disable camera sound. I get Samsung Galaxy Y for the same price which is much better than this with the added advantage of WiFi and Android of course with 800 MHz.

  • I am using this phone for the last 2 years, I have not faced and problem on this. 3G, GPS(Map), Camera everything perfect in this phone�. For Rs.7500 its worth phone

  • My Nokia 5230 currently has a constant issue of turning itself off and on, at times it will be a on a continuous cycle of switching off and on again for 15-20 minutes at a time. During this period I am unable to have any contol over my phone. I have tried everything, from completely restoring the original setting using the soft and hard reset codes. I have also changed my memory card in case of a virus, no luck with any efforts. I wouldn't suggest this phone to a friend, it may have value for money, but does not have a long life expectancy. I have known 6 others all with the same issue and have since done some research to find a solution and, there are plently more people with my exact problem. Other than that as far as my experience goes and others I have known, This phone works great for atleast 6 months to a year. If anyone knows and has a solution please express it, I would be very curious as to what it is.

  • Don't waste ur time with the Nokia Browser, use Opera Mini 6.5 instead, faster & looks exactly like a desktop.

  • 1st check your phone memory & see what the balance memory available in the phone, sometimes there is residue memory form your previous download, if it is too low, Reboot your phone, off your phone take out the battery, sim card & micro SD, leave it for 1/2 an hour, put it back & on your phone, if it doesn't work do a backup for your contacts & mssg, do a hard reset by keying in *#7370# (This would wipe out all unecessary memory & return to the stages when your first bought your phone).

  • Don't expect much for 128MB Ram this phone can't handle Opera Browser 11, Go for Opera Mini 6.5 work like a charms.

  • You can store applications on a memory card. The option usually comes up on installation.

  • Mot true about storing all apps in phone memory. A lot can be stored in the microsd card. True though that memory is limited somewhat.

  • Hi, am using ths phn frm 3 years This is bap of all mobiles in internet speed nokia 5230 u rock..!!

  • well, I have a nokia 5230 and most of my apps I install on the memory card, since it gives two options on where to install, i isntall on there and the internal memory of mine is around 300mb, I'm using the original symbian^1 OS with no modification, I dont know if it's different because it's from Brazil, but looks like it is

  • Unfortunately this phones is not wifi but overall is good phone.

  • Its good but phone memory is low...... all applications store only in phone memory so not able to manage with many applications

  • best phone i ever experienced, using it from 2010 to current time not having a single problem with it,few things which let down it is 2mp camera,no flash,low ram memory and slow processor.

  • it's very good but slightly slow operating system

  • If you update the software its not so slow

  • I have the same problem last month my phone memory was down to 10mb after i update the latest map, here my solution (remember to backup your phone contact & messages you intend to keep (either using the Nokia Suite or Sim Card or Memory card, which ever you like), now hard reset the phone by *#7370# (note : ur phone will be back to original stage when u bought it, u can reset back to ur wallpaper, theme, ringtone & etc. later. This had clear approx 20mb memory space from my phone, now i have 30+mb space in my phone memory, (I believe it is due to the residue memory from many hundred downloaded & deleted file i have) Hope this help.

  • i tnk the phone beat down and broke all the records for having seamless 3g networks for netsurfer i tnk its a magical thng that he can dreamt about ever released date 9 june/july check the smartphones which released at that time and u see that those nokia and non nokian phones under rs 8000 buck does not meet the min. Requirements of 5230 over network,os,navigation,and mostly cost price from my personal xp i tnk those who r net surfer ,video viewer hd, song lover, and gamers ...i would lyk to point out one of the most strong point of 5230 its connectivity i usually play games over steam and chat over fb i simply plug-in my 5230 into lappy and go on i m able to get oves 800kbps -1200kbps i would its quite gud for that little price we can pay for this

  • just go setting in your phone then conectivity then network then select umts 3G START

  • i am using this phone from 1year. Its very good phone but only öne problem there is not open the 3G

  • It's good we use it Nokia 5230 is a good hand set we like it

  • i am blsming myself why i bought 55230.... it's slow..

  • i m using this phone from last 10 months... its very good phone. there is no problem. camera is also good in this range./ battery works for a day.. itsa good phone..../

  • this phone is not a good choice for sure because first of all the os and processor are too slow, it the gives us a really bad experience it even lags when we run java programs but the one good factor about this phone is its price if u are looking for a low price mobile with 3g this would be the one but if u want a phone with which u can multitask and all better choose something else

  • I have this phone it's crap i have no pics and no songs and the memory is always full look for a better phone!

  • Try these two Open Source(Free) software providers - Exhaustive Options, recommended and loved by users!(You can find almost everything you need here!!) (World renowned Open Source video converting software!) Good Luck! :-)

  • l like it!!

  • This is a nice phone.

  • I think you should go for nokia 5230 bcoz it has accelerometer and many functions which c5 doesnt have

  • this is a good phone , but guys have you noted that after you applied the last firmware update the available memory has become low . ( 10 mb free)!!!! is there any solution ?

  • Winavi all in one video converter should help.

  • which is better in general, nokia c5 or nokia 5230? thanks

  • Use Format Factory. It has the exact setting you want.

  • Ultra 3gp converter

  • guys is there a video converter which can convert video in mp4/3gp to 5230 resolution 360*640,i have total video converter but its only 240*320 option.

  • had more thn a year nw.. its really realiable nd good performing phone with many features as per its price

  • that was most likely due to a corrupt memmory card... had the phone for a year... very reliable and has been through many falls and never broken.... and gps/satnav is really good...

  • This is one of the most horrible phones I've EVER gotten. It doesn't know what it's doing, slow as ever, very low memory even if you have a memory card!!

  • I have this phone and I like this phone very much. Sound quality is pretty good but sound a little bit quietly to me. Surfing on the internet is pretty comfortable to me. This phone could be thinner because I feel a little bit discomfort when I hold it but it's ok. This phone is pretty fast and it's enough memory for multitasking for me. Battery life is not very good but it's the same problem for all others smartphones so battery enough about for 8 hours for me Camera is Ony 2MP so photos quality is not very good but it's enough for me So I can say that is really good phone for this price. But not very good for gaming, multitasking, for camera and quite confusing user interface but it's good for users who don't need very good camera and enough this phone options..

  • it is the best mobile phone in this price range.

  • its the 5230

  • I bought a total of five 5230's for me and the wife over the last couple of years. Yes we are clumsy, and have dropped them.... Recently i did an update which now tells the ovi store my fone is not a 5230. I got onto nokia who have taken this update problem seriously, and are trying to resolve it for me. Still works ok, but have had to load skype etc from an alternative site.... Brilliant phones overall.

  • There is almost same in specification and design for both models Nokia 5233 and Nokia 5230 still whats difference in both models and which one is better?

  • I have had my 5230 for almost two years now and it keeps getting better for every software upgrade. I considered replacing it last summer because of unstable behavior, but a factory reset solved it, and its working nicely since. Camera still images could be better, and I miss wlan. Video is nice however, battery performance nice for a smartphone, nice size for a mobile phone. All in all: It is not a fancy as Android and Iphone, but it works!
