Anonymous, 11 Jan 2010is there a memory card in the box or we have to buy memory card after buying this phone? doe3s... moreSome dealears give a memory card for free and some don't. So you should ask before you buy. Usually memory card are sold separately specially for bigger memory like 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB... and so on. The price varies depends on how big is the memory card. And just incase you don't know... just buy micro SD coz that's the only thing that works in Nokia 5230.
Hey ppl . . plz help me !!
I really want to buy dis cell, it fulfill all my needs, but totally confused wid d colours avalable!
Please let me no, i what all colours is 5230 available ??
Farhan, 12 Jan 2010No it can't. For 5230, video playback file formats:
- MPEG4-SP playback 30fps VGA
- MPEG4-AV... moreThe mentioned statistics can be found at : http://www.nokia.co.in/find-products/products/nokia-5230/specifications
These file formats are supported by the built-in video player. You could find 3rd party video players that can play higher resolution videos and other file formats but the handling of such files by 5230 will be subject to the limited on board RAM.
And not to mention the supplied OVI suite will reformat the video files to the one that 5230 can play if you upload a file into 5230 through it.

Nice Question..!!
Well I think, Nok5230 would be better than Iphone in terms of reading ... morecomplete regards to you also.
Right price=right feature strategy. well at this price point providing an above average loudspeaker is not obligatory but neccessary. even a 5130 has a loud ringer.
as we know it is capable of recording vga videos.can it play videos which have resolution over vga?

Well I think, Nok5230 would be better than Iphone in terms of reading ... moreTechnically, iPhone's/iPod Touch's screen is longer and wider both compared to Nokia 5230/Nokia 5800 XM/Nokia N97 mini.

Nice Question..!!
Well I think, Nok5230 would be better than Iphone in terms of reading pdf's. as 16:9 means width more, height less.
And iphone's more or less anamorphic display means, height = width, will squeeze the text resulting is either more eye strain or continuous swiping left and right to read a page.

Well you are right. but as said in my earlier post, i dont feel it being a problem anymore as i think i have tackled the low sound prob. And also Nokia is known for Right price=right feature strategy. So may be this is it. To get something good you need to compromise a bit.
No offense. please dont take otherwise.

iPod Touch has a 3.5" dislay.
Reading on a laptop/netbook on the go is tedious.
What do you suggest? Should I go for 5230 or iPod Touch???

somebody are using this hand set,they told that the volumeof the speaker and the headphone is to low.what is your openion?
Debaroon G., 12 Jan 2010@Anonymous.
Yes I charged the cell for 18-20 hours before the first continuous use. 4-5 hours... moreFriends,
Someone was complaining some time back that their is No snooze button for alarms.. I found this funny as i have the snooze as well as stop buttons on screen.
>> Yet here is what I learnt from the Nok5230 Manual. Just flip the phone 180degrees while the alarm is on and the alarm stops automatically... WOW.
Secondly, Its true that the volume of Nok5230 is low. but do you really think its too low?? I am finding the volume and quality of the audio to be very SOOTHING and good.
I think we should not misunderstand a phone with a hi-fi music player.
>> Try using any mp3 as ur ringtone instead of the inbuilt midi's. it would solve your query (till the next firmware upgrade). Even if it doesnot, take a song convert it to mp3, increasing the source mp3's volume (many softs allow you to do this.)

Lastly MOST IMPORTANT, can you please post, how you r cleaning the touchscreen and keeping it clean. It would be a learning for most of us.
> I use the cloth that comes with spectacles to clean the fingerprints and stylus scratches..
Hoping of useful replies.
