    dean, 20 Jan 2010it was definitely the 5230 - look on their website - Vodafo... moreHi Dean, I checked the link you gave and it does says it has Wi-Fi but it seems Vodafone has got the specs wrong
    Here are a few more examples.
    - The site says the phone doesn't supports java games and applications. That's not true.
    - It also says the camera has Auto focus, but its acually fixed focus.
    - Its says there's no backup/restore my files items to/from PC which seems unlikely as it has the same OS as N97.

    You can verify the specs from Nokia's website : http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products/all-phones/nokia-5230/specifications?page=inthebox

    The Nokia site says nothing about Wi-Fi indicating its not there in 5230.

          Also you can check out Opera Mobile 10 that now works on Symbian.

            Zan, 20 Jan 2010How about the Loudspeaker? I heard that this Nokia 5230 Is ... moreIts true. This phone does use mono speaker.
            The sound quality through speaker phone (or as you call it "loudspeaker") is below average. Its not that you won't hear it. Its just average sounding (not very loud) and a little muffled.
            If you'd like better speaker you can check other handsets for eg. Nokia's 5800 has excellent stereo speakers.

I am frank enough to discard a device if i dont like it after buying it . but the fact that I did enough reviews at the nokia concept store , it came out that the symbian os is not very touch optimized . only ppl who have used latest htc, android devices will know what i mean .
