indieover, 18 May 2010is it 5233 that you have one now. where in the philippines ... moreAn unsolicited advice: buy the 5230, and NOT the 5233. You will enjoy the full benefit of 3.5G and free internet via OM mod (see symbianize). At Php1000 difference, the 5233 would be lacking in the network speed department here in the phils. Buy at fonerange or edgecom branches as they sell the 5230 within Php6900-Php7200 price range.

      I just can't understand that how it is possible to get this type of nokia handset for only rs.7400/-. And nokia delivered the 2mp camera with the handset can easily beat any 3.2mp camera of samsung. Though sound is not so good but anyone should forget this with the flexibility of the handset for a lot of features. The web browser is just fantastic. After buying the phone the features get the mind of a samsung user at this point are, the camera, screen resolution, screen sensitivity, web browser, screen size, baterry life, and after all the name nokia for a verry little amount of expenditure. Mainak, a happy nokia 5230 user.

        buddy, 18 May 2010how to check d speed of the card,where is it written? hlp me plzHey buddy..... It's written either on the card itself or on the packaging. It's written as class2 or class4 or class6 with the numbers written within the alphabet 'c'. It only applies to sd HC cards and not sd transflash cards. The higher the class, the faster will be the read and write speed. 5230 and 5233 is fully compliant with sd class 6 cards upto 16gb. So it safe to use an 8gb class 6 card with no compatability issues.

            Rohit, 18 May 2010Hi SidewindeR, I wanna buy an 8gb memory card for my 52... moreRohit mate.... Class 6 memory cards are very rare. There is no way i can get one in my town. Here shopkeepers don't even know the diff between a class 2 and a class 6 card. That is why i ordered mine from ebay. Even in the ebay india site, there is only one seller who sells genuine class6 8gb cards. And the one i bought is transcend. You are real lucky to have found one. My experiences with transcend cards are quite satisfactory. I'd prefer transcend over sandisk. I'd suggest you snatch it as soon as possible. I have already filled up half my card with about 600 mp3's synced via mediaplayer. Even with that much files, it still runs atleast 25% faster than my 2gb transcend. The speed improvement is appreciable and i already feel the difference. Music shuffling, file browsing etc have become a bit more snappier.
            Yes it does cost a bit more but in the long run it's definitely worth paying that extra bit. Tell me how much the seller is charging... I bought it for 1200 try if you can get it at a lower price than that.
            Even nokia recommends class6 cards. Now i know why they do so. You see these are things ppl don't take for granted and later complain having got a sluggish card and blame the phone for it.

              Tany, 18 May 2010R u guys sure dat 5233 has no gps?as 5233 is also known as ... more5233 has only a network based GPS means it can track position by using location of cell tower of network operator but it has no AGPS (assisted GPS support) where phone connect to stationary satellites to locate actual phone location. AGPS is accurate and doesn't require data connection. But 5233 can be connected to external AGPS capable chip via bluetooth to track satellite based position.
              While 5230 has AGPS facility in build.

                    Hi SidewindeR,

                    I wanna buy an 8gb memory card for my 5233xm; so I checked for Sandisk Class 6 variety in many stores. But alas! I could not find any. All Sandisk memory cards in stores are of Class 2 variety. But in 1 shop I found a Transcend 8gb card which is Class 6.

                    Please tell me, should I go for that transcend Class6 8gb card? What about the quality of Transcend?

                    Waiting for ur reply...

                                        SidewindeR, 17 May 2010Hey mate... Just got my third 5233 today. Arrived today by ... moreI m posting this comment with my new 5233 which i bought yesterday

                                        I am very happy with my new phone . Its camera. music. Web browser everything is great . I am telling you my experience with 5233

                                        1:-) its camera is good but video recording is awesome

                                        2:-) music:-) who is the stupid man who is saying that its speaker volume is dull . I can say that it is good and loud enough and much better than my old samsung s3310 and nokia 5310 ,but provided earphone is like crap i m going 2 buy a new apple ipod's headset

                                        3-web browsing - its built-in-browser is ordinary one and has only one special feature that it can play youtube videos so i download operamobile and operamini 4.2 and its speed is very good

                                        4 -themes and applications- i have installed almost 10 themes from various sites and they all are working without any problm and i hve downlod operamobile and mini.

                                        I can say that it is the best mobile in this range i asked to shopkeeper which handset is bettr among 5233 lg pep and samsung corby and he said that pep and corby have betr look than 5233 but if i want gud features then i should go 4 5233 thanks
