              like what they cloned the e71 to have the little brother e63. They use the same strategy, downgrading the succesful 5800xm to this phone. This marketing strategy really gets old. Just add less than 100 bucks, you'll get 5800. Unless 100 bucks is a big deal to you.

                    Anonymous, 09 Feb 2010where did u get that gps app without using gprs?I have downloaded GPS app via PC maps and voice guide,,,,,,,, it rocks.

                    Hello,

                    I am a 5230 user from 2 weeks, I enjoy using 5230. I have installed more than 50 apps and games and I used GPS without GPRS/3G(Internet) with voice assist turn by turn awesome 10/10. And battery for my excess usage 1.5 days 8/10. Music via headphones ultimate equal to my i-pod. I use sony and sheniser headphones. Gaming good and it supports motion gaming.

                    Please down load photo browser from Nokia labs it's worth with 3D effects better than I phone gallery... So who complains Gallery is slow download this and more from beta labs. You can locate easily in favorites in the below link...... and many more apps

                      This phone has 3G and GPS.
                      BUT Nokia 5530 has 3.2 Autofocus camera with flash, Wireless, better music capabilities and it's smaller.

                      Nokia 5530 is better in my opinion...

                        SR, 09 Feb 2010Hey! I said that to you remember @2010-02-01 18:34Sure i remember! we were talking about battery covers and why nokia give them just in some countries! but its same like with usb cable,cd,microsd..some ppl get that and some ppl dont! but now on some forums i read that nokia dont give covers anymore and that it was just for first two mounths of release! i dont think its true but maybe! u remember when 5800 first got released? nokia was giving case with the phone and then after few mounths they stop puting cases in box! nokia can be strange sometimes lol

                            I heard from one of my friend that Nokia reduces the price as well as 3G feature...Is that so ??

                                  Emir, 09 Feb 2010I agree with you! and i hope that is true! and it really is... moreYeah its quite amusing that Nokia ain't selling 5233 anywhere else. Probably because the price difference would be almost negligible between the two in other countries.
                                  Nokia is increasingly following into the footsteps of Samsung. Samsung had done something similar actually by introducing a lowcost Corby (which already is a lowcost phone). Corby Pop as it is called has a resistive screen against Corby's capacitive.
                                  Corby Pop (like Nokia 5233) was also launched in India only but is now available in other countries too as Corby Genoa ( http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_c3510_corby_pop_known_as__samsung_genoa_in_europe-news-1353.php )

                                  It seems Nokia wants to experiment with this idea too.

It is more or less possible that the latest production batches are being directed towards other countries/markets like USA where 5230 is rebranded by T-Mobile as Nokia Nuron ( http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hd2_nokia_5230_and_motorola_zeppelin_going_to_tmobile_usa-news-1432.php ). But as I pointed out Nokia is still marketing 5230.
                                      Its sad that even the official Nokia stores are trying to sell 5233 by resorting to lies and are misinforming people who want to buy 5230.
