offers a colorful back cover, an improvement to the basic black on the Nokia 5800. Although the 5230 and the 5800 pretty much looks the same, on paper, the Nokia 5230 is a bit heavier and the reason for that? Only Nokia knows.
Features
The 5230's homescreen features a Contacts bar for easy access to your contacts. The bottom is the shortcut bar and the middle is reserve when the music player is playing in the background.
The Nokia 5230 now has kinetic scrolling which means you can flick through lists like on the iPhone, however, it's not really implemented on the entire UI. There are instances wherein you still need to press on that scroll bar. Responsiveness is really good and in fact, probably much better than the first generation 5800 I've seen.
Messaging reminds me of the Samsung i8910 HD (since both phones runs Symbian OS). In portrait mode, you get the basic alphanumeric keypad but when you rotate it to landscape mode, you get the full QWERTY keypad. Setting up an email account is pretty easy and if you have gmail, yahoo, hotmail or other major email providers, it's as easy as putting in your username and password.
The FM radio is still present, the music player is actually pretty good and supports MP3/WMA/WAV/RA/AAC/M4A audio files. Audio quality through the headset is pretty decent, however the speaker quality needs improvement.
The browser isn't something to brag about especially if you're only getting EDGE connection but you can probably do better if you download Opera for Symbian. The Nokia 5230 is in fact only a 3G phone without WiFi. Nokia reserved the WiFi for the midrange Nokia 5530. HOWEVER, and this is still unconfirmed, the Purple Edition that Vodafone is displaying on their website seems to have WiFi as what Vodafone puts in the specifications page. Someone has called up Vodafone and someone said that the Purple Edition, which is probably exclusive to Vodafone, touts WiFi.
As for the camera, the 5230 only has 2 megapixel camera. Video recording is okay if you're only going to upload to YouTube and the picture quality is decent when shooting landscape photos in broad daylight but indoor shots is pretty lousy
The phone is expected to be priced at less than Rs. 10,000 to compete with the touchscreen phones like Samsung Star or LG Cookie which are available at as low as Rs. 8,000. But please check your nearest store to confirm the latest prices of these devices. Here is the specification list of the phone.
