My Nokia 5230 lasts for about one and half year including dropping few times.

Pro
- Free GPS
- touch screen
- long lasting battery
- Micro SD slot
- good call quality, loud ringtone.

Con
- no wifi
- cannot read foreign language exclude English
- sometime insensitive touch screen
- SLOW SLOW GPS (usually it takes half hour to load one destination, and almost impossible to get a signal during bad weather.)

Overall, I spent less than 150$ on this phone. you can say it worth every penny if you do not expect a lot from a phone.

Worst phone I have ever had. Since I bought it at a block buster, (big mistake) I haven't been able to send or receive picture or video texts, but I still pay for it. Anyone know how to fix that, cause the phone company sure doesn't and wont give me a new phone. Long story.
