      Bought this phone a few days ago from CPW and this is amazing for £99.99. It has everything and more I could ever need. Comapred to the IPHONE its not that impressive, but looking at what you can do v's price, its miles ahead.

                Hey I have tested GPS in my device today without GPRS internet connection.... It rocks dear...

                1) First I connected my phoen to Desktop and downloaded free OVI maps from Nokia web site size around 7.8MB. and I installed it to phone through PC.

                2) I have downloaded Nokia map loader from Nokia site it's around 27.5 MB and installed it in PC.

                3) Through Maps loader from my sys I have found many maps around the world. I have downloaded INDIA maps size around 120MB and Voice English - 3MB approx and Hindi - 5MB approx. and Map loader automatically installed all the downloaded stuff into my phones memory.

                4) I am exited to use, I went to terrace of 3rd floor for better reception of GPS lock (it required for first use only) and opened the maps and tapped on my position. It took nearly 10-15 mins to get the GPS. hurray now I got the signal and my location and exact street wher I am Lol

                5) I thought to test it, I have set a trip. when I searched for the place I was looking for it's really responded so fast and I got it quickly. It showed my destination is 9.8Km's away.

                6) I started and the GPS -red mark started moving and it's showing the speed and how far I am to destination wow...... and it's voice feature is cool it's suggesting like turn left and turn right go streight and alerting take a turn at 50 meters and much more.

                7) When I am on the way it's showing all the petrol pumps with area names and hospitals railway tracks, bridges and much more..... My freind was exited with the features of GPS Maps.

                8) If you unfortunately took a wrong turn then no worries GPS caluculates the root freshly and from the point it show's another root once you set the destination you will never lost till you reach... cooooooool

                9) last but not least whenever GPS is activated battery goes dry quickly.. It's not a prob if your car have a charger lol, And all this is done through offline without GPRS or 3G only. And I need test many more features of GPS I will update you soon enjoy your GPS navigation on 5230.

                  Hi All,

                  I had an opportunity to see 5233 yesterday. I have gone through menu's also. It's same like 5230 without 3G and GPS. And it have mono speaker same like 5230. Audio quality is good. Even though it doesn't have GPS you can use maps preloaded or via GPRS. :)

                  5233 screen is responsive but it is some what lazy-slow in responce to apps compared to my 5230.

                  But this 5233 available in India is a china made. And 5230 is Korea made... My suggestion is to buy 5230... I have wonderful internet and turn by turn GPS voice guided experience with 5230.
