Anonymous, 18 Feb 2010hello friend i am confuse bt 5233 & 6303 which is bette... moreOkay, time for another comparison.
6303 vs 5233
Good that you don't need GPS or 3G because both doesn't has them.

So the differences are camera, phone size, screen size, smart functionality.
In camera 6303 scores with 3.15 MP snapper with autofocus and dual LED flash. 5233 has a 2 MP fixed focus camera with no flash.
Screen size is better for 5233 with its nHD 3.2" wide resistive touch display with aspect ratio of 16:9. 6303 has 2.2 inches QVGA screen. Clearly 5233 scores big time here.
5233 is smart, has Symbian with Nokia's S60. 6303 has Nokia's proprietory S40. Both have JAVA. But clearly there will be more JAVA apps for 6303 as it has a pretty standard QVGA resolution screen. 5233's nHD is still new but it is growing with newer phones from Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. (5233 will support JAVA as well as Symbian apps).
6303 is pocket friendlier than 5233. Its smaller.
Another thing is that 6303 has dedicated number pad which is missing in 5233. 5233 has on screen touch input. It'll give you full QWERTY to type messages. And 5233 has accelerometer so it'll recognizes orientation of the phone.
Battery life is another thing to think about before buying a new phone. So 5233 has a larger battery but its battery life is same (according to GSMArena : http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=2909&idPhone2=2658 ) as 6303. This is because 5233 has a power hungry screen which is always ready to respond to every touch.

That is more or less it. Make your choice.

                Lot of people here are saying that there are codecs for playing avi(divx,xvid) files
                AFIAK there is no such codecs available
                ...and if there is any... pl elaborate

                The only way to play these files in this fone is using LCG smartmovie

                                  Good phone. Call it "Goribon ka smartphone" not "Goribon ka iphone". Bcoz even Nokia N97 can not compete with the apple one. Then what is 5230? Apple iphone is very special.
