      Raj, 24 Feb 2010hey Guys, I have been using Nokia 5233, its a good phone. I... more1) Any headphone with a 3.5mm audio jack can be used without any problems. The ones that comes along with 5233/5230 are cheap Nokia headphones and thus are not upto the mark. If you want to buy a better headphone then I would suggest Nokia's other headsets like these : http://www.nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets

      Or else you can go for third party headsets like Sony's ( http://www.sony.co.in/productcategory/pa-accy-headphones ) or Sennheiser's ( http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones ) or Philips's ( http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/headphones/14603/cat/in/ ) etc.

        But you can buy an external GPS antenna module (Nokia's can be found here : http://www.nokia.co.in/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/navigation/gps-modules/nokia-bluetooth-gps-module-ld-4w ) and then you can use GPS for navigation using Ovi maps. You can download the User Guide for Ovi Maps from here : http://www.nokia.co.in/get-support-and-software/download-software/maps-support

          Raj, 24 Feb 2010hey Guys, I have been using Nokia 5233, its a good phone. I... more3) Nokia 5233/5230 has Symbian OS v9.4 with Series 60 rel. 5. It shares the same OS and screen resolution as Nokia N97, N97 mini, 5800 XM, 5530 XM, X6 also Samsung Omnia HD and Sony Ericsson Idou. So apps/games meant for these phones will work on 5233/5230 (subject to hardware requirements).

I think u need not 2 worry about the screen's life because one of my friend owns motorokr e6 since 2 years and that is still working well. In my opinion after long time when phone's screen will go undone, by that time u will be in the hunt for another one. I don't know if the screen is replaced n how much it costs.

                  Bought this phone yesterday actually love it, cz in that price u get GPS with free maps and a touch screen and ofcoure alot of apps in OVI store i think its the best u can get in that price.
                  The only thing which i was sad abt was i dint told my gf that im getting this phone :( may be that will effect the life of my phone :-/

                                        s, 24 Feb 2010hi jeniverre ..... if nokia has stopped the production of ... moreI d0nt think n0kia had st0pped and will st0p the pr0ducti0n of 5230. If it was, then it was only due to the m0bile c0ngress. In mid march, as what they say, it wil be raining 5230 in the market again. Even n0w, few market has it already.

                                        Anyway, if ever n0kia wil st0p it, i d0nt see anything that wil cause pr0blems. If ur pertaining to a pr0duct servicing in the future, and u might th0ught that n0kia w0nt supp0rt ur ph0ne anym0re due to "disc0ntinued" status of 5230, then that w0uld be 5yearz fr0m n0w i guess. So d0nt w0rry, perhapz at that time u wil pr0bably have an0ther latest cheap ph0ne. Ü

                                        Its really t0o early to stop 5230's pr0ducti0n.
