You know you could've gotten it off ebay for ~6.4K.harryneopotter said:yea .. it seems like nokia has replaced 5230 by 5233, i visited 3 dealers yesterday (hotspot, nokia priority included) and they all said that 5230 is no more available. So got my self a white 5233 last night for 7350/-.
yea i know .... but that was not an option for me ... and it was an impulsive buy ...so its good as it is !!
!!
wat type of details mate ?? It does have GPS if you want to know this !! But no 3G !
@ Praks: Dude, i said 5233 DOES have GPS.
@ Dexter: Performance is good enough, but i havent installed any appz/games yet, so cant say much. and this is my first Symbian phone (previous all phones S40), so cant really compare.

I havent tested the GPS yet (TBH), but there is a MAPS icon in the main menu, and LOCATION app in applications. So i think it should have GPS

Well, it could merely have A-GPS and not a GPS transreceiver chip on-board. Uncheck the A-GPS data in the options menu and see if you can get a location lock.
If the phone does have a GPS chip, could you record the time it takes to get a cold boot signal lock? It'd be interesting to see if the 5233 uses the same satnav chip and algorithms as the 5800.
There's something definitely fishy goind around with the news surrounding the phone.
Why would nokia want to spoil its chances,of having a mobile bestseller in india?
Given a budget <=10k(2k"ish" lesser),nokia 5230 rules!! :clap:
Thats the budget of the bulk of prospective mobile phone buyers..

Been using this phone for the last few weeks. And by using, i really do mean "USING".
GPS locks(using the latest QVI thingy did help things) fast, camera is decent enough for a 2MP(waiting a while before clicking improves results a bit as stated above).
Transfered tons of stuff to and from the phone/memory card(8GB class2), all snappy. Encoded videos and played them for hours. Encoded a few 720p files to 320x240 .wmv(phone can play them) with DVD quality(~2MBPS bitrate) using windows media encoder 9(2nd High def. preset) and to my surprise it still manages to play them w/o a hitch.
Used a Japanese text support app. that used to make a previous N95 with a dual 3xxMhz ARM11 crawl and it seems to have no problems on this phone's single core processor running at 4xx.
Audio quality is... amazing, and I have used my share of music-enabled phones.
Used the internet constantly for a few hours, no problems.
The screen is a lot more sensitive than i expected. The double touch is annoying at first, but as you get used to it it sort of makes sense. Kinetic scrolling works flawlessly and all across the board.
As far as I'm concerned, this phone is almost w/o faults at this price point.
I suppose the camera could be better, and stereo speakers would've been nice, it could've been built a bit better, the battery cover's surface particularly feels a bit cheap to touch, doesn't catch fingerprints though... bah, I'm just nitpicking really, I got this thing for under 8k, i don't think any more value is possible.
Inspite of constant (ab)use, the battery easily gave me 12 or so hours. Using PL-30's and an E3 amp.(remember to select "headphones" instead of "line out" when using an amp., it will be LOUD, i nearly ruined my eardrums despite turning the volume to 20% on the phone), i can easily go 2 days w/o the need to charge with a couple of hours of music everyday and a few calls.
This phone will make my sis. really happy, to whom i shall soon hand it over ^^.
Why is Nokia cancelling it(If true)?
