              walkman, 28 May 2010hey sidewinder edge 30kpbs speed is not enough while we can... moreYeah like i care about 3G. I have 2mbps unlimited broadband at my home for just 250ts a month. And with that i never felt the need for 3G on the go. And for your information, with EDGE, you can do everything short of video calls with that speeds. And as i said earlier, where there is no 3G coverage, you are still stuck with 2G on your phone which means that we share the same speeds. And not to mention airtel EDGE is way better that BSNL 3G herein india. In addition, 3G doesn't come with a flat rate data plan which means you have to pay for what you download which kinda sux. And by the looks of things, due to spectrum scarcity, network companies will be stuck to pay per download. It is the price you have to pay for speed. I'll take my broadband any day.
              Three to four years from now if you say this, then i might agree with you but at the current situation, EDGE is still the smarter way to go.

                    plus in countries where 3G is not that big, 5233 is the smartest way to go.



                    it's okay to buy 5800 if you have the money. But then again a better choice would be a 5233 and an Ipod Touch 8Gb. in just afew thousand bucks over the price of 5800. that's the best deal.

                                Finally I was able to format my memory card thru
                                menu->applications->office->filemanager->memorycard.
                                But still I m unable to delete everything in phone memory without entering each folder in phone memory and deleting the stuff there. The restore factory settings option also doesn't delete the stuff stored in the phone memory (like sms, audiofiles in ph mem). Can n e body plz help with formatting phone memory like memory card?
                                One more thing, How can the country selection option which is shown when u switch the phone ON for the very first time can be accessed again?

                                        1) 5230 has no wifi
                                        2) 5230 has a 2.0 megapixel camera vs. 5800's 3.0
                                        3) 5800 has a secondary camera

                                        "Anecdotal" accounts also claim that 5230 has inferior sound quality and casing. Also, the 5230 is currently buggier.
