Rating: Reviewed by HARSHA on 31/10/2011 OK GOOD Rating: Reviewed by The Python That Eats Apples on 24/10/2011 Wonderfull, got from secondhand shop for £35, flashed it, debranded it, installed C6 cfw, replaced outer caseing with a gold and black one now have a banging phone innit, browser with FLASH, changeable battery, no restrictions on what to install on it so 5230 beats the hell out of some phones that cost five or six times more money Rating: Reviewed by precious on 23/10/2011 yes i love it:) But it has no live streaming:( that makes me wonder.?

Rating: Reviewed by Rohit Kumar Gaurav on 17/10/2011 Nokia 5230 is good but for the people who do not want to access or know the advance technique. Yesterday I was trying to video call through this mob but it was failed. I feel very shame with my gf. Right now I am not satisfied with its quality (sound, camera, video calling). Otherwise it is good but not best.

Camera quality is great and the night mode really works, music player sound quality is awsome, no phone stands near its long battery performance and wi-fi is not a big problem. Rating: Reviewed by Ahmer Ghausi on 11/10/2011 I have 5230 nuron and i love it a lot... because i can install so many applications, it also has a very good camera as compared to Nokia's previous cell phone at 2MP... but camera doesn't matter to me cause i buy it for internet and it has 3G and its working awesome... for me it has to much options at this low price if compare to other cell phones of any company..

IT FREEZE'S AND DOESN'T LET U DELETE PPL WHEN U NEED TO.. IT RUNS SLOW HAS HELL. JUST ALL AROUND DON'T BUY IT Rating: Reviewed by Tanya on 03/09/2011 I always rated Nokia phones as the best but this one is a disappointment to me and I will get rid of it. Here are some basic problems with it: Text notification cannot be set to repeat so if you blink and are not right by the phone you will miss it. Also the little flashing bar again is so vague, if you blink you'll miss it. Also, it only rings 3 times before it cuts off, which makes me miss 99% of calls. I've looked everywhere in the setting to change this and cannot see it? And finally the screen light is bad that you can basically not see the screen in the day light or God forbid in the sunlight so texting, emailing or browsing is out of question unless you can find a dark spot or bush you can step into to check your messages! Also, I rarely bother using internet on it as it always freezes up and the only way to proceed is to reboot the phone! Don't buy it! Rating: Reviewed by Fedja on 02/09/2011 this is the worst phone i have ever had. I did not buy it, but i got it from my telecom operator for free, and now i would like to pay them to take this phone back. so lets begin: many times i would charge my phone and go to sleep, in the morning my alarm would not ring because the phone is off. this happens very often, and after this it is hard to turn on the phone. also in the middle of the text message writing, the phone decides to delete my message (this happens very often). maps for navigation are rubbish, they do not work... I am not happy with this phone at all! Rating: Reviewed by Tuna on 29/08/2011 It is best mobile best in video . Rating: Reviewed by Gill on 20/08/2011 Am enjoying using this mobile phone, but every so often it becomes very warm to touch , and the battery drains rapidly, even when switched off. will then take a few hours to recharge. Seems to follow use of the camera, which does take good pictures.

But other then that it is a good phone Rating: Reviewed by Dave Gaga on 26/07/2011 Had the 5230 bought for Christmas. On 2nd April asked Vodaphone for an unlock code. Then the problems started. Today 26th july and still not5 unlocked.To cut a long story short, choose the network you want to use before buying the phone. I love my 5230, and I don't think that the camera is rubbish either. The camera is so simple to use that I just love it. I'll love it even better when Vodaphone eventually unlock it. yes I would recommend the phone Rating: Reviewed by ERM on 24/07/2011 i got my 5230 from 3 about 15 months ago on an 18 month contract. Since then it's been in for repair 4 times - been replaced FOC 2 of those times. Absolute rubbish imo. I've had other Nokias in the past & found them excellent - which is why I got this. Counting the days until the 18 months are up & that's the end of a Nokia as my phone of choice - will never get another Nokia. A neighbour has one too, on Vodaphone so the problems are not network specific. She's had nothing but trouble too - phone not turning on/off, sound dying in the middle of a call. If this review offered the option of zero stars that's what i'd choose - unfortunately, it doesn't so i'll have to award it 1 star. Rating: Reviewed by Md.

Rating: Reviewed by liz on 13/06/2011 I love my nokia 5230, yes the downside is that it needs speakers but i find the sound fine.fantastic memory which has been usefull for file storage full of eveything i have downloaded. Good quality clour screen that really helps when being on the internet.I live in a bad signal area and this phone is the only one that has picked up a good signal so usefull when surrounded by mountains.ovi store is good. I love my 5230 Rating: Reviewed by Linz on 05/06/2011 Received this phone as an upgrade! Had a Samsung Tocca before and in my opinion I have received a downgrade!! After using the phone for 2 months I got so fed up with it that last night I threw it against the wall smashing it to pieces. Good riddance to a VERY bad phone. Was ensured it was slimmer than an iphone, not sure what planet the salesman was on but it certainly wasn't this one. I would not recommend the Nokia 5230 to anybody.

One drawback no front cam... Rating: Reviewed by katie on 27/05/2011 this phone is ok the camera is not the best but does ok when focused there are a lot of different settings and great memory for music photos and more apps you can also check how much memory is being used aswell.Over some time it has became slower and keeps freezing.The battery life is ment to be good on my phone but when listerning to music and other things it soon drains the battery.the apperance of the phone is very nice but for saying its a thin screen length the depeth of the phone is very big but is still light to carry round Rating: Reviewed by Doogie on 17/05/2011 I had this as my first smartphone and although it took a bit of getting used to, I found it to be pretty simple to use and easy to get on with! I have however had major problems with the memory capacity, and although I also used a memory card have managed ot go through 2 of these on my contract in 12 months with the same problem! Also had major issues with Voda re replacement of the second phone - Make sure you note the IMEI number of any handsets you have! Battery great, lasts for days, calling features etc fine, messages ok (apart from the random deleting!), all in all a very good smart phone for a novice! I'd hesitate about advising to get one though due to the memory problems! Rating: Reviewed by person on 12/05/2011 A pretty good phone some of the time (when it works) but faults appear do suddenly appear then disappear. The battery isn't brilliant, but not dreadful, reasonably easy to use and the screen is quite nice and sharp. But the internet has an intermittent problem with it shutting down by itself, the battery drains occaisonally, the radio can struggle for reception, the battery bars are very inaccurate and it freezes up quite regularly. Overall a nice phone to use but I have 15 months left with it and am struggling to have much faith left in it. A shame because in theory it could have been a great 2 years. Still, compared to the other reviews on here, it could be worse ( no offence ) Rating: Reviewed by Karen on 10/05/2011 I am 65 years old and to say I am not tech savy is putting it mildly. But I bought the Nokia 5230 and have really enjoyed it a lot. I have only had it a few months and maybe for some that would be enough time to know everything about it. I am not going anywhere so why rush? Mmmm, I don't think so anyway. But I think it is good. I read where people have had a problem with it freezing up but I haven't yet. And if anyone can freeze up something it's me. Rating: Reviewed by Brett on 06/05/2011 A horrible phone. Everything Nokia may have once known about functionality has disappeared. Three or more steps to do things that should happen with just one take the fun out of most functions. Instructions are hopeless. Battery life is variable. I'm grateful that I didn't spend my own money to buy it. Rating: Reviewed by tjj79 on 28/04/2011 got this free on contract from vodafone at £15 a month, & from the very first day its been one problem after another, when using web the screen freezes all the time & the only way to get off that page is by turning the phone off & back on again, i got 500MB a month & at least 400MB of that data is used logging in & out of the web & only connecting. its also very slow trying to write messages, & it automatically deletes them once you have written one! all i get told is to do a software update,every week i did them! & no change :-( music is loud & clear though, & screen is a good size but couldnt watch videos from you Tube either just says buffering all the time...much patience needed with this phone,as it does not function in the way it should do...ive refused to pay my bill due to them not replacing it even though its faulty but i had no insurance & vodafone are not interested in good customer service.Also poor picture quality with green & yellow square chunks appearing on photos..its like its got bad issues with pixels? Rating: Reviewed by k.sands on 20/04/2011 i love my phone its so easy to use i also think that the camara is quite good very good phone for the 0lder person Rating: Reviewed by kalanga kiwuka on 19/04/2011 heya people! There's no way you can start comparing a laptop with any smart fone, nokia 5230 included. Secondly, one must be techno-survey to know that at any given time has nokia introduced a fone which is bogus! Thirdly, any consumer of an electronic product, must learn how to use the product with time, taking into consideration that, any new product must be different from the previous one despite the fact that they might be coming from the same company. Fourthly, commodities go commisurate with prices. Naturally, if one wants a better product, seemingly, one has to go for a slightly expensive thing. Fiftly, over the years, nokia has been trying to merge quality with affordability. Sixthly, its from the afore mentioned points and the use of various nokia fones, that i can say from the point of experience and knowledge, and without fear of contradiction, that nokia 5230, is without a doubt, another very easy to use but technologically edged fone in the market, currently. Buy it, you won't regret it! Rating: Reviewed by yash on 19/04/2011 nokia 5230 is an awesome song i must say...its features are excellent but the camera is a bit dissapointing one....in ma opinion the company should add more features like video calling, 3.2 or 5 megapixels camera along with flashlight, higher touch sensitivity...spb shell etc etc...if dis features are added then i will b the 1st one to buy... :-) Rating: Reviewed by andy on 14/04/2011 My first smart phone and i love it, for £50 it's well worth it,never gone rong and the battery life is A*. The only small complaint i have is it's not easy to see the screen when outside. Rating: Reviewed by Anne McMahon on 12/04/2011 Do not buy this phone .. its rubbish .. everything downloads to the phone and not the memory card, so you end up wiv bags of space on the card, but you only have to send about half a doz text messages and download 2 games off Ovi and then your memory is full and wont let you call anyone or send any more text messages. I got this phone Jan 2011 and today is April 2011 and this is my 2nd phone of this type and its messed up again. Ive spoken to tech guys and noone knows the fault or how to move files from phone to memory card! Rating: Reviewed by rakesh on 27/03/2011 it's ameizing phon but missing video calling and wifi Rating: Reviewed by Ian on 22/03/2011 I have had the phone for 3 months and now had enough. Not easy to use like other nokia phones even to send a simple text message. poor camera, battery life and unlock switch. 1 * given only as it's a cheap touch screen mobile. Rating: Reviewed by John Patterson on 20/03/2011 I really don't like this phone. I got it for the maps, which, when they work, are just fine, but it jammed solid when upgrading the software and had to be replaced. Then it told me the maps were all out of date and needed upgrading, so it deleted the whole lot (I had the entire world on there) and then wouldn't reload them. I reloaded manually and now it's decided that it occasionally can't find the 16gb memory card and shuts down the satnav function halfway through a trip. Not a good investment. I'm not surprised that Nokia's losing market share. EBay here we come! Rating: Reviewed by Jack on 20/03/2011 i got it about 2 weeks ago on PAYG from vodafone. It's very good, although you have to press the screen hard compared to my iPod touch Rating: Reviewed by bhavika on 14/03/2011 simply awesome t Rating: Reviewed by john on 10/03/2011 great fone but needs wifi Rating: Reviewed by dave on 09/03/2011 i quite like this mobile, cheap and cheerful, ok no wifi which lets it down but u can still access the internet if u need to. i use it as a 2nd phone espacially when on holidays, its strong and reliable and u can actually down load movies onto an sd card and watch them off the phone.

For the price it is a fantastic phone with many features. It is easy to use and looks good. The battery life is outstanding because the phone is not full of gimmicks such as home screen widgets and 'always on' data services that use all the battery. I would rather have a Nokia 5230 than an iphone - it is full of features at a fraction of the price. Rating: Reviewed by alan brown on 19/02/2011 ive had this phone 6 months now,and im quite happy with it.Does everything i need quite well.Battery life is quite short,some of the Ovi apps dont download and the plektrum thing is a bit useless.Plus points are very easy to use camera (good enough for quick snaps),good web browsing,sat nav works fine and for 70 quid you really car'nt go wrong Rating: Reviewed by Laura on 19/02/2011 Don't buy it !!!

Rating: Reviewed by pavan on 08/02/2011 its good Rating: Reviewed by Ruth on 08/02/2011 I have had this phone for 7 months and hate it, it is the worst phone to use that I have ever had and I started off with a proper in car "mobile" so am no stranger to mobiles. I have found it impossible to get off the inter net without turning off the phone and cannot make the radio work, unfortunately it is on a 24 month contract I have also dropped it and now have incurred a further £25 to have it mended. Don't buy it!!! Rating: Reviewed by Martin on 07/02/2011 The best phone ever, easy to use, battery life great, now on v40 firmware, better than my guv's iphone. Rating: Reviewed by Megan on 06/02/2011 I got my Nokia 5230 last year during the Summer, from Tesco Mobile for around £80. It has easy - to - use touchscreen, okay camera, average video, okay internet e.c.t But in some ways I prefer HTC Wildfire. My friend has that phone and its really good. But I suppose the 5230 is alright. Rating: Reviewed by Joanne on 02/02/2011 Not at all happy with my 5230. Wish I had stuck with Sony Ericson. Rating: Reviewed by John on 01/02/2011 "Don't buy this phone it freezes etc!" In fact I do think you should buy this phone even though it has crashed occasionally. It's not perfect but at this price offers a lot of bangs per buck IE a lot more than the Tocco lite. The web browser supplied is terrible BUT you won't want it anyway once you have downloaded mini/mobile Opera. My favorite feature is the alarm...turn phone over to snooze :-) Rating: Reviewed by Lorraine on 31/01/2011 This is the worst phone i have ever brought, The screen keeps freezing and its even worse when you are on facebook.

Rating: Reviewed by JM on 27/01/2011 My phone closes its internet browser entirely by itself, very disappointing. The calling speaker is also a bit rubbish, it feels slightly cheap and the less significan settings can be very difficult to find. On the plus sign, the screen is quite responsive, signal reception is just about OK and the FM radio reception and graphics are quite good (by graphics I mean the backgroud screen and info look very nice). Rating: Reviewed by Ellie on 23/01/2011 I got the phone less than a year ago but after two weeks i wanted a new one . The camera starts out good then goes dodgy -_- Internet is proper slow Freezes after taking pictures sometimes When your typing a message it goes to the keyboard type if you tilt it slightly overall the phone isnt very good but it is quite cheap Rating: Reviewed by steve uganda on 22/01/2011 the 5230 is both sweet and bitter! I love the touch screen, hate the camera, i hate the battery life and its bulky. In terms of price its worth it but fails miserably in this era of really brilliant phones like the iphone and android phones. Had it for one month and surely saying goodbye to it!

Rating: Reviewed by Emma Wilson on 14/01/2011 This is by far the worst phone I have ever had and I am now stuck with it for nearly 2 years as Orange say it is 'not a problem phone'. The touch screen is unresponsive then goes into overdrive and flies forward 4 steps, it randomly sends itself to my email page and costs me money for connecting to the internet, the alarm needs to be beaten repeatedly to get it to turn off in the mornings, the internet is so slow you may as well not bother with it, if you download an app it decides it can't cope and goes into meltdown, it is soooooo slow to do anything...... I detest this phone and would not recommend for anybody to buy it. The only good points are that the Sat Nav is actually surprisingly good and the battery life is fairly good if you are a light user. Now to start saving the pennies to buy a replacement..... Rating: Reviewed by Megan on 11/01/2011 I got this phone at around September 2010 (last year) It has easy typing, ok camera & filming, easy menu access e.c.t The negative outlook is that despite being a good high quality touch screen, it lacks SOMETHING. Its too...bulky...too slow at the inernet. I mean, its quick most of the time for everything else, but internet is noticably slower. I don't use internet much but when I do it takes forever. Its cheap though, mine was £80 at Tesco, but now its about £40. I advise you to get something like a HTC Wildfire - my friend has that phone and its pretty good. Quick internet, downloadable games e.c.t. The HTC does tend to be slow at times. But Nokia 5230 is an ok easy phone, I won't be changing anytime soon. :) Rating: Reviewed by gotu on 10/01/2011 good Rating: Reviewed by annoymous on 08/01/2011 I would strongly not recommend this phone to anyone. This is because of the problems I have had , which are: . Somtimes not turning on properly - screen doesnt load, only half the back ground loads. . When you type , the majority of the time it auto deletes every thing you type! This also happens when if you make a typo and just want to delete and correct a letter. . Texts somtimes do not send.

Apart from this it is a good phone,can use MS Office,so it is a great choice for its price. Rating: Reviewed by AJ on 02/01/2011 I have had this phone since January 2010 and it has to be the best phone I have had. It does everything I need and want and what if it lacks anything you can download an app. on the Ovi site even a WiFi app. Just brilliant! Rating: Reviewed by Praveer on 31/12/2010 I was never a Nokia fan and this is the 1st time I am using it. But I must say I am satisfied with it. In this price range no other phone is capable of delivering what it does. Even it plays the normal downloaded .avi movies using divx player (ofcourse with some lags). +ve: Large n very clear screen , Symbian platform (can download some apps and is always better than java phones), GPS, 3G -ve: Camera (Poor quality n flash missing), Music player (Poor sound quality even with good earphones), No wifi, No video calling, Battery backup (not more than 30 hours with normal usage of net and calls), Slow processor and late response. After downloading divx player and swype...m lovin this phone. I am a big fan of Sony walkman phones which I was using earlier (W700i) and the sound quality of this is nowhere in comparison with it. If you are not concerned with camera, music player and wifi you can go for it. I have used Samsung Star also and comparatively 5230 is far more better than that. There are too many things which can be done on this phone. Internet browsing is awesome. Skype, Operamini, Nimbuzz, too many themes and many more...all working gr8 (Even auto rotate supported by all apps). Recently I came to know that torrent also works on it (Still trying for that) What else you need with a mobile in this price range. But as it is a Nokia be ready to handle lags n hangs. One problem I am facing that even though I am saving all the files in memory card the phone memory is getting full.Can anyone help me out?

I needed a new phone so i thought 'why not?' recieving my phone in 2 days i was delighted that i now have a new gadget i could mess with and make it do lots of wonderfull things. Oh no! Yes it has all its greatness in its 'certain' areas. But these areas are NOT FREE. It has gps, but it costs a bomb to use it and its not included in your contract, so thats extra! Anything that involves streaming video costs extra! Even if you do have 2.5gb a month. Which i never use. The battery doesnt last long, if your using your phone all day then you will have to charge it by the end of the day. It leaves applications running so that drains the battery more. I've given up trying to use a stylus, and its quite slow. My girlfriend thought it was good. So she got one which gave us an extra 25 on our phones which we used in the month we got it and now her memory card has just formatted itself. So overall, it comes with good stuff. Yeah. But there not free to use. 3 out of 5. Rating: Reviewed by Pamela on 18/12/2010 I have never broken a phone before but my 5230 broke when it was 9 days old. It fell on the bed hit my earing and the screen broke. small accident big loss. otherwise im loving it. Rating: Reviewed by Benyamin Khan on 15/12/2010 I think the 5230 Is an exceptional phone but needs improving in some areas especially the CAMERA! LOL otherwise it's a very nice smartphone, I would recommend buying. Thanks.
