Nokia 5228 is the cheaper GPS-less non-3G twin bro of 5230

9 June, 2010
Yesterday, kind of secretly, Nokia announced the 5228. At first look you will hardly find difference between the newbie and its sibling, the Nokia 5230. But that's only because it is hidden deep under the hood...

          If I am not wrong, they will take 5230 out of narket and will push upgraded 5235 CWM and downgraded 5228 extensively. 5230 stands middle and makes no sense with little price difference.

            There is 5235 as well but its a upgraded version of 5230 with metal frame body, high end wh 701 headset in box, comes with music service etc.
            5233 is there as well, so whats the point having so many resembling models? its rather a confusion. A low end 5233 has already captured a market (especially in india, it has given damn to low end samsung touch phones).

                    I think it should be NOKIA 5233 rather than NOKIA 5228 IS THE CHEAPER blah blah blah.

                    Anyway, i cant hardly see any difference with the 5230 though except it has "comes with music" feature.

                      so... that means the difference between 5233 and 5228 is the colourful back cover?

                        Anonymous, 09 Jun 2010nokia is getting really lame.This is just the lower tier, go to slashgear for better updates on the Nokia roadmap for future handsets. I can only assume you are either an Apple or Android fanboy, from the US?

                                Didn't even come with minor cosmetic updates (other than colorways) just to differentiate from 5800 and rip-off models.. very l@m3 Nokia.

                                  I hope anybody can easily get confused by the same specification. It is totally un-explainable that why Nokia has created such handsets again when they have same kind of handsets already available in market. I think they should work on making windows phone in less budget keeping in mind the indian scenario where 3g services are soon going to launch.
