                    They are not providing the usb cable.
                    look is gud.
                    when u transfer data from bluetooth is stores in the mobile msg memore rather then in the memory card.
                    u have to again and again transfer it to the memory card.
                    camera is gud its 2M .
                    no sound key in the head set.

                      Is 5230 still available or it has really been replaced by 5233. Hd approached 2 dealers y'day & both hd told me tht 5230 is nt in stock bcz NOKIA has stopped its production. I doubt this as NOKIA is nt famous fr discontinuing its models in just first couple of mnths of their launch. If its still available thn plz lemme knw the place in Delhi & NCR frm where I cn get it. Thnx a lot in advance.

                            HI, I BOUGHT IT FOR RS.8100 (DELHI PRICE) HERE ARE FEW PROS & CONS OF THE SAME

                            PROS:-
                            1. Very good large screen, good for watching movies
                            2. Sound in headset is very good, loud & clear (used Sony headset).
                            3. Camera is average, only good for outdoors.
                            4. GPS speed is good with voice navigation.
                            5. Very fast processing speed in Galary or navigating files.
                            6. Kinetic scrolling is awesome.
                            7. Batter life is good. with average use it goes for 3 days.

                            CONS:-
                            1. Very low loudspeaker volume.
                            2. Touch response is not amongst best. May be nokia will improve with firmware update.
                            3. Very poor sunlight visibility.
                            4. late response of Accelorometer sensor.


                            OVERALL I GIVE 7 OUT TO 10

                            CONSIDERING THE PRICE RANGE 5230 IS WORTH BUY, MUCH BETTER THAN SAMSUNG STAR & LG COOKIE.

                            GO AND GET IT, YOU WONT REGRET.

                                Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970he bought it from chennai for just Rs 7400 but me bought it for only Rs7200 from Ludhiana city of Punjab state, India. And yes, our phones r Nokia 5233 not Nokia 5230. 5233 is without 3g and gpd but 5230 is with both, it will be expensive than 5233 around Rs 8100.
