The Folks at Nokia Conversation was once again first with unveiling another Nokia touchscreen phone. Heres the Nokia 5230 Press release:

Nokia has just popped open its paint pot and pulled out the new Nokia 5230 in a range of custom colours. The latest handset to join the touchscreen fold, the Nokia 5230 has been designed to serve up slick on-the-go entertainment, location-based services and act as an easy pocket portal for social networking at low cost. Read on for more details and get a close-up look at the 5230 in our photo gallery.

Brandishing a 3.2-inch widescreen touch display with full-screen QWERTY keyboard and handwriting recognition, the Nokia 5230 is geared up to enable you to rattle out messages at speed. Paired with speedy HSDPA connectivity, this means staying in the loop and keeping your Facebook and Twitter streams promises to be a no-wait affair. Ovi Store is nestled neatly on the homescreen from the moment you switch on the device, ensuring you can get instant anywhere access to quality bite-size apps.

Music is its first love though, with the 5230 bringing 33 hours of playback time (long battery life was recently voted the most important feature in a music phone by you guys - so we’re stoked to see that), a 3.5mm headphone jack and memory expandable up to 16GB via a microSD card. Two versions of the phone will launch - a standard device costing 149 Euros, and in some select areas a Comes With Music version will be available for 259 Euros for those keen on all-you-can-eat downloads.

Jo Harlow is Vice President at Nokia, and had this to say about today’s news of the upcoming 5230:

“Competitively priced at 149 Euros, we believe the Nokia 5230 is an unbeatable offer for many new customers who aspire a device that stars in music, mingles with social networks from Facebook to MySpace, navigates you to where it happens, when it happens, and comes in array of dazzling colors”

Other features include assisted-GPS with Ovi Maps, Nokia’s new Contacts bar on the homescreen, a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.0.

Nokia's tryout over giving birth a new individual (5330) is good, but 5230 sounds similar with 5800....

I hear the 5530 has pretty poor battery life, but it's rectified with the 5320.

Anyways, this looks promising (to me anyways), if it's priced low enough. Any estimated prices? If you convert that figure (non-Comes With Music version) directly, it'd be RM 760, but I expect it to be at least RM800+ when it's finally out here.

I hear it'll retail in India at like 10,000 Rs. That's like RM 727, but I'm probably just being too optimistic.

Well, when it was released it was pretty similar at about 279 Euros, so I guess I can still be optimistic about the 5230, lololololol

if the phone comes with bloody cheap, i'll praise it.
unless, it's like no other than it's brother, 5800.
typically it's shape is very damn similar.
so i think for design and user friendly phone, it'll be still 5530 who take the lead.

but overall, functions are nice from 5800 with cheap price nowadays

GSMArena's finally released a 5230 review. Seems to be pretty favourable, despite the budget sales package.

In my opinion, the is a well worth phone if the price is at RM660 only if you don't need good camera and also wifi connection (since you are going to subscribe the unlimited 3G plan anyway).

This phone got 3G and GPS but no wifi but the price is cheaper than 5530.

Not to mention, for some reason its 2 MP shooter records videos at 640 x 480 at 30 fps. Pretty awesome for that price.

Since my 5800 was stolen, maybe i can get this one.
But the no WiFi and the no AF camera.....makes me think twice, three times. Comparing it with the 5530, 5230 looks rather dull.

At least if I get the 5530, from everyone else's perspective, I "upgraded" my phone. laugh.gif

Dudes, Nokia 5235, it has WiFi.
Is this thing true? I mean, if it is, wouldn't it be one of the most stupid idea?
It looks exactly the same and now with almost every feature the 5800 has except the 3.2 MP CZ camera (with no flash). And this one also has comes With Music, all for a total of about the same price as the 5230 when it was launched.

Shouldn't they at least released this instead of the 5230?

Are you sure about the 5235 having WiFi?

If I recall correctly, the only things it's got going is the Comes With Music service and a shiny chrome rim.

remove the memory card from your phone before on your phone, than wait until prompt your enter pin,
before enter pin insert the memory card to the phone. i think that will solve your problem.

Guys, i face a problem same as above too, i cant find any video call option in my Nk 5230. Even in the user guide it doesnt specify any guide for video calling, but only video sharing is specified, whereas there is a guide for video calling in 5800's user guide.

Any other Nk5230 users that can video call? Enlighten me cry.gif

Hi mate,

i just bought this phone couple a days ago for my GF.i've been googling and do some experiment and...

1. Sadly this phone does not support Video Calling.. mad.gif But i keep wondering wut is the use of "look-alike camera" thingy above the XpressMusic button? hmm.gif

2.The 3G is for data transfer only (surf internet,IM,use as a modem).This is bcoz 5230 does not have WiFi to do all that. sweat.gif

3.Yes,u can install any games n apps for 5800 and it would work properly on 5230.

4.5230 support A-GPS.No need for GPS bluetooth receiver.

5.For Garmin Mobile XT,its only work with v5.00.50 only.Lower version does not support 5230.

6.Kinetic Scrolling ready.(5800 must upgrade firmware 40 to have this sweat.gif)

7.Look suitable for woman la thumbup.gif as its a little smaller than 5800 and come only wit two set; white pink dan white silver.

Very affordable for touch-screen phone with s60 5th Edition!

I read somewhere that AP set might be locked. Because it might be one from oversea country which is with a plan?

Will I get a NOT SO good AP set with a price of RM585?

I just bought this phone Nokia 5230 from Clareen.
Hopefully it's a good phone.
3G and GPS is what I need only. No need wifi or good camera. Can save RM300 rather than buying 5800.

my previously using 5800 phone got stolen.
no money so end up buying 5230.
and i think this phone is worth it. same like 5800.
if you need better camera and video call and wifi, then have to add another RM300 to get 5800. tongue.gif

so far no complain. just updated the firmware. V12

i'm not sure about ovi maps. I guess should be free just like for the 5800 phone model.
i install garmin and use it. A-GPS will charge a few cents everytime a lock is needed.
Using integrated will take for ages to get a lock tho. I think the GPS is not as strong as 5800. sad.gif

According to Zitron and avaxx sales person they told me they didn't bring in grey colour at this moment. Maybe you can consider AP set which is RM500.

For black colour, only 5230 come with music package have this colour which is RM850 for original set.

Your original sets comes complete with what accessories and what colour is available?

Can you clarify if the 5230 has GPS or A-GPS because I'm very confused about the two terms. Does it mean that the A-GPS require an active connection to a cell phone network for it to work?? It not, then I can always use the GPS without the SIM card, right?

Got it overseas for around...350 converted? But no memory card.

Headphones are absolute trash and will need to be replaced. Other than that it's fine as long as you don't try to port video on it from your computer to watch, because the narrow range of video formats/codecs/whatever it can run will drive you nuts.

Check your fact before you post.
Although the installer is free but you will have to pay for the code in order to activate it.
And the installer if currently not available in Garmin official site.

Hi,

May I know what is the difference between Nokia 5230 and Nokia 5233?  icon_question.gif  

Is the retail package the same?
*
5233 does NOT have 3G. I bought it in Singapore early July but it was not until I arrived home that I noticed this lack of feature. Also, it has the pen-style stylus in addition to the plectrum-style stylus - 5230 only has the latter.

I have since bought the 5230, also in Singapore. Black colour! biggrin.gif

Can update via nokia software updater. Connect cable to your computer and update from there.
Or use firmware over the air update. But data charges will apply unless you got unlimited data plan.


Latest firmware is V21 I think.

I concur. Mine locks the position, without A-GPS, within a minute. But can be a bit inaccurate if you are indoors.

That isn't a camera, 5230 can't makes video calling although it has 3g, the 3g is actually for internet purpose. For 5233, it doesn't have 3g, that the main different.

its not as good as X6 as X6 is captive screen.
But looking at the features of a 510 phone to 1200 phone.
Its quite good. Most of the features are very similar.
Phone respond also quite good but best to use it with stylus rather than finger.

Not necessarily.

5233 relies exclusively on your data connection to fixate where you are. The "assisted" bit is kind of a misnomer, since it doesn't have any full-fledge GPS to assist to begin with.

5230 on the other hand has GPS hardware / chip built in, the data connection supposedly "assists" to fixate your position faster.

No charges but getting a satellite signal or lock on will take a very long time. Around 15 minutes for your phone to search for that without AGPS.

Q1: if i use A-gps, telco charge me rite?...how baru can avoid being charged using gps?..

Q2: can i have the option of downloading the maps into my phone/memory card,and then whenever i wanna serach for direction, i serach it in the phone memory without connecting to any internet/data connection?..

q3: for those dedicated gps, do they get charged too when they use it to navigate?..

Ask yourself whether you need wifi and better camera or not.
If you need, the 5800 will be a better choice.
But price difference is RM350 more expensive for original set.

Just disable A-GPS and enable Integrated GPS to avoid any extra charge.

Q2: Yes. Install OVI PC Suite on your PC and download OVI maps of the country you wish to have (e.g. Malaysia) via the software - using your PC-based Internet connection. Your phone must be connected to the computer via PC suite.

Q3: No. Free navigation.

it's better to flash your phone with custom firmware, it will have boost! but problem it will void warranty.
