I Worked out you need to save sim contacts to phone memory and deleted any double contacts..... with home phone numbers you need to put in the area code and number not just the number, I have done this and mine is now working wonderfully..

          Nikhil, 08 Jan 2010I have myself checked it today at 2 Nokia dealers in Mumbai.Good. Thank You for sharing it with us.

          Actually I'm confused between Nokia 5230 and LG Arena.
          The problem is that I can afford the Arena but I don't want to make a mistake. Its not a smart phone and that's a big problem.
          5230 costs half that of Arena and it has its positives. Excellent camera with flash, slo motion video recording.Capacitive Screen. Screen size of both devices are also similar. TV-out, VideoCall, Wi-Fi.
          Everything.
          But its not a smart phone.

          What adds to the problem is that I'm about to get an iPod Touch. There are things that it can't do though.
          So I'm wondering a smart phone with wide screen and no video call & Wi-Fi or shell out more money for Arena.

          Can anybody solve my dilemma???

                    shiva, 08 Jan 2010star Wi-Fi is betterSamsung Star is an delicate phone...its not worth the price to have a phone that cracks on single fall(even after falling on a carpeted floor from 3 feet)..Phone this expensive should be atleast a bit durable and Nokia 5230 is durable its so called bulkiness gives it protection.

                            jimmy, 08 Jan 2010hi friends can sum1 which is the best phone 5800 or 5230.. ... moreNokia 5800 and 5230 ar necessarily the same device with minor differences.
                            Both have the same OS with no difference in software what so ever.

                            Here's the hardware diferences.

                            5800 better :
                            1. Camera - Not only in mega pixels 5800's camera also has integrated twin LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics.
                            2. Wi-Fi - 5800 has an Wi-Fi reciever which will help you get access to the internet over WLAN network.
                            3. 5800 has 81 MB of internal memory against 5230's 70 MB. Its insignificant but a difference.

                            5230 better :
                            1. CPU - It has a 434 MHz processor while 5800 has a 369 MHz processor. So 5230 is faster.
                            2. Price - 5230 is cheaper.Probably insignificant in your case but nonetheless its an important factor.
                            3. Also, 5230 is a device released by Nokia an year after 5800 so the touchscreen sensitivity developments must have gone into it but these are not a big issue in 5800.
