                my opinion, overall ok... but the speaker is a bit low. U can't do the video call as it's only got 1 camera. Camera is quite good. The video camera is also not bad.

                  I tried as you suggested, I selected starting point as my home and destination is Hotel pratap plaza (around 600 meters, which is availabe in data base)

                  I tried in offline mode in my II floor open space, I got the GPS Signal very good about 6 to 7 points and I found blue flag in origin point and dotted flag in destination point
                  but still it shows me "calculating the route"and i tried it for half an hour.

                  I got the doubt whether I should move toward the direction.

                  Please help

                            Hey all,
                            I want to buy this phone.
                            Can any one provide me the address of retailer in mumbai where this phone is available?
                            I tried my best but most of retailers including Nokia priority told me that nokia has discontinued the production of this mobile. So it's N/A.
                            What's the truth?
                            please Help.

                                Ive been using this 5230 for m0re than 2 weeks n0w, and im on the net for several hourz. So far i dnt hav any issues with its web br0wser. It may be slow at firzt time loading the c0ntent, but after that its faster so its ok with me. But m0st of the time i am using operamini5.0 that is a l0t m0re faster.

                                I have mine with white and dark pink back cover. I think white color is m0re decent. if ur a male, u can ch0ose white and red or white and silver. If ur a r0ugh guy, ch0ose black and red. Ü

                                I rec0mmend this ph0ne to people who l0ves socializing in ind0orz, or just in office and malls. Sp0rty people sh0uld avoid this because u might scratch and br0ke this delicate baby hehe.

                                5230's video cam is awes0me for party occassi0ns and etc. Especially in daylight. When ur inside s0mewhere, and the place isnt that bright, then use night m0de and u wil see that this ph0ne has really a talent.

                                Music is great thr0ugh 3rd party headph0nes. And about its loudspeaker, its n0t sterio but its alm0st like it. U w0uldnt kn0w at first until ul read its specs only "m0no".

                                Overall ratings? 10/10 for performance, 9/10 for its design, and 9/10 for its features.

The rest of the phone such as the audio quality texting GPS sat nav, are all great. The camera had a quality lens the video is full vga at 30fps. The handwriting recognition software also works very well.
