Mahesh, 25 May 2010Hi.. Can anybody tell me why 5230 consumes some amount of m... moreThere are some applications that can't be installed in the memory card. I can't talk about some of them because the site doesn't allow it. with reagard to other apps that you installed in the memory card, the certificates of such are saved in C:/ thus little by little eating away at the memory.

What I did was this: Since I do not use Facebook, Amazon, hi5, etc even the default games of DJ Mix and Rollercoaster, I deleted them via application manager. NOw I have more than 70MB of free memory in C:/.

And all my installed useful apps are in my memory card.

          I have had this phone for about a week now and it is by far the best phone I have owned. The menus and functions are intuative and it really has all you need. Battery life is quite good compared to other phones I have owned. The purple cover that came with the phone is horrendous, but at least that can be changed. Another good feature! Just wish the lens cover was integrated into the phone cover - then it wouldn't matter if it got scratched.

                        Just bought this phone. Havent checked it thoroughly yet. One thing thats bothering me is the external speaker volume. Its very low. I wonder if there is some fault with my set or do all 5230 sets have very low speaker volume. What do u guys say??

                        haven't transferred any audio files yet but the sound of radio on the earphones(those included in the package) is not loud either. Is that the case with all 5230 sets?
                        Thanx

                            Hi, friends...
                            I just purchased a nokia 5230. It is the best phone available in mid_range category.
                            The nokia 6700 slide is also another very good option.
                            As like other symbian phones plenty of applications are available for this phone.
                            Gaming is superb with the 3d graphics hardware on board.
                            All the drawbacks of nokia 5230 are taken care while designing this phone. The kinetic scrolling is really smooth. Much more advanced audio player than 5800. If you are a music lover and love playing 3d and HD gaming , this phone is going to fulfill all your needs.
                            But nokia had to cut off the camera to maintain price(only 2 megapixel). But when it comes to video recording, this device does an excellent job. Does video recording at 30fps...!!which still is @15fps in some 5megapixel camera phones(nokia 6700 classic and slide).
                            Its a very good phone. Dont confuse yourselves...just rush to your nearest nokia priority and grab one. You will be quiet happy with its features and perfomance.
                            All the best.

                              SidewindeR, 25 May 2010Hi mate.. Don't get confused by the different classes. If y... moreLet me enlighten you with the issue of read/write speeds of memory cards. Class refers to the writing speed of a microsd. It does not refer to reading speed. When you transfer and write files on a class 6 microsd, it will be faster than on a class 4. But when the phone opens, execute files on the card, class 6 and class 4 and even class 2 cards would generally be the same speed. You could benchmark different classes even some cheap brands and they would have almost similar reading speeds, BUT NOT writing speeds.

If you can get the class 6 card it's well and good. It does cost a bit more than class 2 and class 4 cards. But it is worth every penny. Class 6 cards especially for this phone means faster application launch and task switching. Smoother multitasking, smoother video playback especially for high bitrate videos, faster photo browsing, faster music player and the list goes on. I say this because i do own one and everything seems to run twice as fast even with an 8gb card.

                                    Aquachick, 24 May 2010SUPERB !!! However, I have one more question further to you... moreYes turning the sensors to off will disable auto orientation of the keyboard. However, you can manually select full qwerty keyboard by selecting full screen qwerty from input options.
                                    By the looks of things, you probably have a malfunctioning proxomity sensor. It might be because of some hindrance like a screen guard covering the sensor opening or dirt stuck to the opening or worst case, you have a busted sensor. There might be a lot of reasons. It could even be a software glitch. Occassionally my touch screen fails to register an input. But it is only temporary and can be rectified by switching off the phone and taking out the batteries. Just try something like that and see if it works. If it's just a software glitch, it can be rectified with nothing more than a simple restart.

In case I switch the phone's sensor OFF, How will I be able to type a message on a QWERTY keypad.. I often use the QWERTY keypad by rotating the screen. (I believe that if you rotate your screen you get the QWERTY keypad in Messaging and this is posible with the sensor on the phone???)
                                        Please clarify :) thanks
