shah, 08 Feb 2010Can I find DHAKA Map in OVI Maps? And Can I download or use... moreNo, Google Earth is for Windows Desktop OSes probably for Linux or Mac also, but I don't think that Google Earth could run on Symbian phones. But there is another software from Google called Google Maps. Its a JAVA based application that you can download on your phone.
Here's a few links :

Google Maps also has a feature that'll show you the "Satellite View" much like Google Earth on a small screen.

About Ovi maps, here are a few links :

I'm not sure if Dhaka has turn by turn navigation support or not. You can find on the Nokia site about it.

          SR, 08 Feb 2010For a locked phone doesn't people have to pay more every mo... moreNo u pay 229e and u get locked phone with free prepaid sim card! it is tmobile brand and u can use it just with tmobile sim card! u can buy that phone with contract too then u pay just 1 euro,but u get contract on 18 mounths and sure u pay every mounth around 25e! but u have free minutes,sms and internet i think! when 18 mounths past u can cut that number and naturaly keep using that phone! but every phone u buy there its locked,sure u can unlock it but its not good to do that and u lose warranty!

                      Ludwik, 07 Feb 2010This phone has got it's good points and bad points. My com... moreHey Ludwik my friend, ever seen Spiderman!... There is a very good message in it : With Great Power Comes Great Responsibilities.

                      I want to say Nokia 5230 doesn't get much power, so we shouldn't thrust much responsibility on it.
                      I mean what do you expect from a mid segment phone.
                      Look at what it gives you : An excellent display with good touchscreen, a very capable GPS functionality with voice navigation, a fairly capable (still) camera with good video recording, a very good playback audio quality, smart phone capabilities, motion sensing games etc and all that in a price thats almost a third of Pulse. And it doesn't cut down on other features like HSDPA, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD card expansion, Bluetooth etc.

                      I agree the browser must have been better but it atleast supports Flash so that is a good thing for such a handset and Symbian means we can use Opera browsers. I think we should go easy with 5230.

                              Hi,as i said i bought my phone on 7th January 2010 by viewing as many as 20 Reviews and found 5230 is very cheap touch 3G and GSM phone released by Nokia. i thought of buying another phone this month(Feb 1st week) but i cannot get that as many of the retailers are saying Nokia stopped production of 5230 and they are trying to sell 5233. The only main reason behind this is because Nokia 5230 are sold very fast as there are no more pieces available in market and Nokia thought of selling 5233 just for 800rs less than that of 5230. This is because they didnt wanted 5230 to be under production because of its less price which might be a loss for Nokia. Hence they thought to make Nokia 5800 to be sold instead of 5230 and released 5233 discontinuing 5230.

                              So please try to buy 5230 as soon as possible.

                                  I bought the phone for Rs 8200/- at Savitri Market,sec-18 Noida. I do not think its out of production but its stocks might be dwindling. The retailers who do not have it always tried to sell 5233 by saying that 5230 had 'problems' and Nokia have stopped production.
                                  My advise is to try all the stores you can.
