> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-08-30 08:14 from t7Iv - click to readYou have to understand one thing: Nokia cannot let their models canibalise, it would be a bad investment in their logistics and resources. If this one had wi-fi, would of meant 5530 was released in vain as it wouldnt sell because its more expensive. And same result would have been for 5800 as well.

Thats why some of the phones got a kind of features, and some got other features. Each phone adresses to a certain kind of buyers: in our case 5230 doesnt adress to the ones that want wi-fi and better camera.

> In reply to Razlan @ 2009-08-29 16:49 from psDg - click to readwell i like 5530 a lot but the big problem is that after few days of using the phone it seems that these 2.9 inches are simply small for me and i think that is because of the resolution cause on n95 8gb which has almost equal size of the display 2.8 everything was big enough but the resolution was 320x240 on lg cookie for example everything is big enough too but there the resolution is 400x240 and the alternatives are this phone and 5800 but the second got many problems in fact i don't use so much wi-fi or gps, neither 3g i just want nokia symbian phone with touchscreen maybe despite all i'll take 5800 if can't wait for 5230 and 10x for you opinion and i wanna ask something for 5230 is it got kinetic scrolling and is it true that it is with mono speaker
