I see mentioned here that this phone has 'voice memo'. I have the phone with me, and I don't see this option anywhere. I understand it's like recording your voice as reminder for some date and time..? I don't see that this option exists - if anyone is able to see this correct me.
However, one option gsmarena did not mention but is present in this phone is 'spread sheet'. You can keep track of what you purchased, and it's cost - day and month wise. Good option. I use it quite a lot.

Actialy Nokia Used On component as a ringer and earpiece. Thats why voice leak from back side.
Nokia is a good manufacturer but i a surperised why they are not taking this issu seriously. Basicly phone is used for making calls and if voice can not be heared clearly it is useless.

I used this phone but i got big problem in it which is sound leaking from back side from speaker, i think it makes because of there is one speaker in it which is performing two functions 1st is Ear Speaker and 2nd is Loud Speaker so thats clear problem of voice leaking because of 1 speaker. I suggest the NOKIA MAKER'S please make separate speaker's (One for Ear & Second for Loud) in this cell which makes personal voice like Nokia 1208/1209.
My second problem is noice of keypad when type text so please make silent keypad just like Nokia 1600 model, kindly solve this problem also. THANKS....

A little update about 'voice leakage' from back:
If you take the back cover off, there is a sort of grid of holes near the back speaker, and voice easily escapes from them during normal talk. So with no surrounding noise, someone close to you might be able to listen partially. I devised a way for this by placing a brown tape from inside of cover, covering all holes, so the voice does not leak then. What I also got, was a problem that alarm-tone voice is greatly diminished as well.
So I devised another work around by placing brown tape from back, covering all the holes, except for 1, or 2 maybe. Now alarm tone is clear, but voice still leaks. Now, this way, if you want to prevent this leakage, all you have to do is place your index finger on top of this small hole (it's barely 1 mm size anyway).
Not the ideal case for some, but it works.

If you're a person who does text messages a lot, and with great speed (aka a touch typist, or in this case, a touch texter), you're going to find this keypad very annoying pretty soon.
If you do occasional text messages, and not too fast at them, then you'd be happy with looks etc. this set offers.

I was waiting for the release of 1280 (i liked its retro look and long battery life) but i already needed a new phone so i bought this one instead.
Likes:
- Really cheap
- Large screen makes it look like a mid-range phone
- Nice interface. A bit slow in scrolling but fast in texting
- Not prone to fingerprints
- Radio with 3.5mm jack
- Flashlight
- Talking clock in local language
- 250 message capacity
Dislikes:
- Noisy keypad is really annoying
- If i'm not mistaken, it can arrange contact names only up to the fourth character. Some of my contacts are jumbled
I haven't tried any of nokia's 12xx phones but if you're planning to buy one of those, i think that 1616 would be a better choice. It has many advantages for a small price difference.

tab, 29 Mar 2010I got a chance to look at this phone (while it was off). He... moreOk - I'd like to make comment on my previous comment! I bought the phone, and the impression I had back then just didn't fit in when I had the phone in my hand.
1) for keypad, it's ok. Could've been better (Nokia 1112 keypad was very nice). Also because keys are placed together, so you have to be a little careful while texting. But no serious issue.
2) Plastic is made of mostly recyclable material, but is actually quite ok; not like Nokia 1100 or 1112, but fine nevertheless.
3) It looks good, nice display, pretty manageable - I'd say if you wanted to buy this in the first place, go ahead, I hope you wont be disappointed!
4) I take my words back regarding this point as well!
5) I bought it [smile]
One more thing: most vendors told me it has 'double speakers', and Nokia has recently released phones with this 'feature'. So voice I feel is clearer from the back side, than the front. But when I keep volume level low, I feel there wont be much issue (nowadays it's summer but when winter comes in, with no fans and generally more silence, then I'll monitor this more).
If you like the set, go ahead and buy it, it's such a cheap set anyway.

this phone is the best under rs 2000
in kolkata it comes for Rs 1400
it is the best nokia s30 phone
it has the new ovi style icons and a good fm radio
it has all the nessecary features like calculator , torch, fm, spreadsheet, and etc
the 5030 has a advantage that it can play fm wirelessly but this phone interface with ovi icons is very polished
