      people who own this phone are ready to accept that it does have low sound in the speaker . If its their first device then obiviously they wont realise

                    Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970It isn't an XpressMusic phone. I still like the phone as i did not buy it to play music via the speakers. The earphone sound output is like that of the 5800.

                        The person actually plays music from 5230 and 5800.
                        The difference can be heard.

                        Ofcourse 5800 is better here but 5800 has other problems like kinetic scrolling, slower processor. It also costs more.
                        Make an informed decision.
                        The price, according to reports (I haven't yet personally checked) is 8300 plus VAT as applicable in your state. Also check for local retailers, they might give you the phone at a lower price with a warranty.

                        Also read a few pages of this forum for more.

                          Hey all i bought mine for 8500 in bangalore. I had a samsung corby and was using this phone as a mp3 player. But exchanged it and bought this phone. The music output through the earphone is pathetically low, even compared to the corby. Please don't buy if you are buying it for music. Am totally disappointed. And if i have to give it back the dealer is asking 2000 rs less!!! I had a 5800 before, trust me audio is 30% louder and clearer. Don't buy this phone, it's utter waste. Doesn's deserve to be called xpressmusic.

                                        correct , i agree . speaker is a critical part of the phone functionality and it has to be good.
