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.

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.

askarperang what happen to your 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

is the ovi maps free to use for Navigation?
*
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

anyone know how 2 update d software of 5230 since im have a look at nokia.com d latest is 20.0.0.17 meanwhile my is old 10.0.0.71

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.

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.

hey guys.. i plan go get this phone.. what are the cons of this phone? and does this phone support garmin?

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.
