    @Anonymous.
    Yes I charged the cell for 18-20 hours before the first continuous use. 4-5 hours or 15-20 hours of initial charge all depends on the person who is advising you and the reasons he has to support that.
    In a previous reply to @jan, i stated the reasons why longer initial charging is required.
    Nevertheless, If anyone has a better explanation please let me know.

    @Vish.
    The problem is may be due to duplicate entries on your memory card and sim. delete contacts on either one and this should solve ur prob.

    Though I didnot test reading pdfs on my 5230. but ya.. reading pdf's on that small (comparatively) screen would be tedious for eyes. and aboout max size of pdf's etc, didnt test till now. will let you know in due time.

      In which colour does this phone look nice....Black or white......??????
      i think the black one looks a little outdated.......and the white one would get dull appearance faster.....

      Please let me know......

            I bought it for 8500Rs in Nokia Priority.
            Phone is really good. Especailly white colour really rocks..
            Cheaper than 5800 Express music ( ~ 5500 Rs less)

              The phone does not come with a memory card or a datacable. So be prepared to shell out 700 extra.

                I got this from nokia priority dealer in mumbai for 9000 inr. Phone is very good except for the volume levels. The volume levels in the headphones and the loudspeaker volume are too low. Its difficult to listen to music in a crowded noisy place.

                        @ anybody who has this handset.

                        I have a question : How is the experience of reading .pdf documents? In both portrait and landscape mode.
                        Does it strain the eye if you read for long periods???
                        Here's a pdf, try it on our phone and just check it, alright : http://www.math.missouri.edu/~hema/balsabha/BalSandesh/Sandesh%20V7N2May04.pdf

                          Nikhil, 11 Jan 2010Nope i have micro sd 1 gb card. i use bluetooth for data tr... moreThat explains the Rs. 8300/- price tag in other states.
                          Its like Rs 600/- more.
                          I don't think you get a return ticket to Karnataka in 600.
                          But for a more expensive handset, the travel will actually save you money. Only if one has time.

                          And about the memory card, do you think 1 GB is enough???
                          Videos and all. You would be using this phone to half its potential if you aren't watching videos on it.

                          And applications. They too require memory.

                          Most will/should work on 5230. Of course apart from the one that requires a particular hardware (camera flash for eg.)

The price at Mobile store will be Rs 8978/-(in mumbai as per customer call centre).
                                        But in Mumbai Handsets available at Planet M stores(stocks are limited there) price is Rs 8900/-(incl 12.5% VAT).

                                        I got all Black colour one with stylus, battery, plectrum stylus, headphones and with additional 90 RS 2 year warranty.
                                        Planet M also offers Theft warranty at 2% of Price of Handset.
