No front facing camera and no option on the phone to make them. Neither can you receive a video call. I tried making a video call to it. And it failed. But my old Nokia 6234 could not make video calls. But was able to receive them.

                      Guys since this mobile supports 3G I am sure incoming video calls can be received. Is this phone by any chance having any option to make outgoing video calls by standing in front of the mirror so that v can use the primary camera to do video calling(since it doesnt hav a secondary camera for video call)? Your opinions will be deeply appreciated.

                                GOOOD GOD n Thank GOD ....... that even after possessing so many wonderful features Nokia 5230 still doesnt support activating NUCLEAR BOMBs or else both of you guys would certainly have Target LOCKED each others ASS.

                                PheWwwwwwwww!!!

                                Now common both of you let GO... Its absolutely not possible for everyone to like the same Mobile alright. Obviously everyone has a right to have a Personal Preference. So lets talk about our favorite mobiles on their respective FORUMs.

                                So for now lets talk a LOT More about My SweetHeart "Nokia 5230" on this forum [n about 5233 too ;)]

                                Now both of you close your eyes & IMAGINE SHANTI Sitting in your Lap ...... hai hai hai Mazaaaa aaa Rahaa hai Na??? :)

                                Peace Bros.

                                  Nikhil, 02 Mar 2010thnx 4 rplying SR........ bt i dont know da price of the... moreWell Nikhil, it surely cost's a lot. Probably more than 1 or 2 grands, could be 3 or 4. This is because it is a bluetooth one. So it has to include the GPS chip, bluetooth chip, battery etc. All this things drives the price up. Another option would be to find an external wired GPS receiver that can take power from the phone itself. That'll be cheaper. I haven't come across any such, though I have once seen a Sony Ericsson one (was to be used with SE's P1i).
                                  The things that you should keep in mind is that
                                  1) It should be a good sensitive chip. One of the most popular one being S!RF Star III. You can check for the chip the GPS module uses from the retailer.
                                  2) It should have a 5233 compatible connector i.e. micro USB port or should come with an adaptor.
                                  3) Should work with any GPS software like Nokia's Ovi maps or Google Maps. One that supports only Google Maps should not be preferred as Ovi maps offer far superior functions like voice nav.

                                  You can search on the web or at electronic stores for it.

                                  Hope this helps.

                                    So it's like a QWERTY-Keyboard on a touchscreen. That's great, thank you.

                                        But u wil missed many great feature in 5230, especially its multi task ability. Its a smart ph0ne with bigger screen and bigger resoluti0n. 5230's virtual keypad is easy to tap and it vibrates with it so u wil kn0w it resp0nd. It has querty, hand writing, and alpha numeric to ch0ose fr0m.

                                        With this price range, u can never buy such other ph0ne like this. 5230 is w0rthed. Ü

                                        But its stil ur decisi0n to make. Though i really suggest that u wil go for this one.
