I was waiting for release in India, it was available in black market (Mumbai) for 10300/- so i decided to wait...
Had a tie between Samsung and this one...being a Symbian friend since 6630..i decided to wait for a month and that has paid off quite well..
The features are really good..and most imp is my apps installed on E71 works here too (this was main reason to wait for Symbian).... The touch screen is quite responsive..compared to older releases of Nokia...

This squares off the difference between capacitive and resistive screens (again matter of choice!) but for me ..my apps are more imp and the being at home feel (like using Windows, u would hardly like to move to other os..)

the default Roller game is just too good...

Got it for Rs.8200 in Chandigarh , got an 8GB card fr Rs.800 , total Rs.9000 .
Now I am ready to kick the crap out of any smartphone . . .
And those who are concerned about a good camera , buy an SLR for God sake . Cell phones are not meant for that !!

I don't know why do people make a fuss about the phone not charging off micro USB port?
Its actually good, because we usually donot connect the phone to the desktop. When connected to the laptop its good that the phone doesn't drain the laptops battery.
It already has a good battery. Keep it charged.

Is Nokia Maps (Ovi Maps) installed?
How good and comprehensive are the maps?
Does it cover the whole of India?
Is there any trial period available with it for voice navigation?
Does it comes with Opera Mobile 10 pre installed?
What are other apps or games that are pre installed?

Anonymous, 31 Dec 2009Which one is better among these three. Samsung corby, LG K... moreThere are inherent differences between smart phones and feature phones.
Nokia 5230 is a smart phone whereas Samsung Corby (S3650) and LG Cookie (KP500) are not.
Apart from that Nokia 5230 has 3G(HSDPA), and GPS.
Larger screen with more pixels and more colours.

Ofcourse, it is the better buy among the lot.
