There's lots of queries and confusion regarding audio quality of Nuron (thats the new name for 5230, I kinda like it). So I'd like to say something in this matter. First of all we should know that Nuron has a 3.5 mm audio jack. It is one of the most common and widely used connectors and is found in almost all music players. Due to this we have a wide variety of compatible headphone models that range from both cheap to those that are of high quality.
Now as far as music quality of Nuron is concerned there are several factors to it like reproduced audio output by the in-built music player, decent headphone and a good pair of ears.
To judge the music quality i.e. sound reproduced by a music system we need a scientific procedure and this has been done by GSMArena Team. Read it here : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5230-review-427p6.php under the topic "Perfect audio quality". Their verdict is that Nuron "managed to outdo our expectations, demonstrating the best audio output in the Nokia full touch family" and is "comparable to the best handsets we have tested". They have termed Nuron as "universally superbgood" and "a talented singer".
About decent quality headphones here's a few link to popular brands. The ones with Neodymium magnet are supposed to be very good.

Some of them have quoted the price.
Sony's and Phillips' are just headphones, so you can't make phone calls on it, but on the Nokia's you can. Make sure you buy the one you need and verify with the retailer.
Make merry.

1)You should have got the Headphone of Philips ( as a gift) along with your New phone. I have got the same in "Telephone Shoppe" Pune. Any SE headset gives you best results.
2)Go to any Nokia dealer and ask for a data cable It cost around 200- 300 INR. Check whether it fits your cell phone slot before purchasing.
3)...
4) Type "GPS" and search on this forum. Specifically, read comments from "Prayags" You will come to know each step to start GPS
5)At first use you should charge your cell 100 % before using it.
