Looks - Phone looks are pretty decent but not super good like samsung galaxy series. Screen - It has got semi resistive screen which is not as ...  Read the complete review

Mobile phones today are all about cameras, internet and applications. Frankly I think its a bit silly, you want a camera buy a camera because a. its bound to have better resolution, more mega pixels etc. and b. you don't look pathetic trying to take a decent photo with a phone. But seriously, this phone is fine, its a touch screen with a ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this phone as at the time it the reviews were ok and the contract was a reasonable price with the phone as free. There was a reason! The touch screen is of poor quality and is often completely unresponsive. You often have to touch the on screen keys two or three times before it registers. The software is slow to ...  Read the complete review

When I got this phone I was amazed. This isn't one of those amazingly cool, or graphically or software enhanced smartphone. This was an average easy to use smartphone. I do like the camera, even though it isn't good in megapixel its still good to have a camera phone. Its also neat that you are able to record videos if you want to do ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia 5230 is a great smartphone. The 5230 is easy to use and navigate and its menus and settings will be familiar to those who own or have previously owned a Nokia handset. The touch screen works on a double tap basis which is easy to use and means that you don't have to go through limitless menu screens. I had read ...  Read the complete review

I only chose this phone because I wanted a cheap contract and this seemed the best of the bad bunch on offer. To be fair it is a cheaper phone and you get what you pay for, but I find the unresponsive touch screen and general sluggish-ness really irritating. The battery lasts about 2 days if you keep it connected to the internet to ...  Read the complete review

I have had this phone for 18 months now (getting close to getting an upgrade wooo), and I am ok with it. inevitably, while the phone was new and exciting 18 months ago, it's now alarmingly out of date and highly frustrating. My number one issue with the phone is its touch reception (if that is the right wording). When I used to ...  Read the complete review

i bought this mobile 2 years back. from that moment i never feel unhappy with this mobile because all the time it makes my job simpler. i usually faced so many problems with my previous mobile because my finger is to get pain when i was chatting with it but i got relief when i bought this mobile... As you compare this mobile ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia 5230 is a games and music orientated smartphone, and when compared to other smartphones on the market, it is very reasonably priced. The phone has all the basic features that one is looking for in a phone, combined with some very exciting, unique features. The phone's dimensions are 51.7x111x15.5, which makes it a ...  Read the complete review

Now, as you may well know I love myself a new phone now and again. But when I was out one day (with no intention of buying a new phone) I stumbled across this beauty, the nokia 5230. What really impressed me about this phone is that it just really looks the part. I'm a samsung girl myself, don't get me wrong but Nokia sure know a thing ...  Read the complete review

i bought this phone about 4 months ago.you would find it quite similar to Nokia 5800 express music. thus you should remember that it is not an express music. although it is my first touch screen phone, i found it quite interesting to "access" internet using this phone. unlike other phone which using arrows to remove the ...  Read the complete review

I've been using a Nokia 5230 as a spare handset for low cost international calls outside of my usual contract. I "borrowed" it from a friend almost a year ago and haven't given it back. A quick check of ebay shows they can be picked up new now for around £80, which is remarkably cheap considering its capabilities but clearly I ...  Read the complete review

I've always been a gadget girl. Owning the best gadgets with the newest features has always been important to me, and I've gone through life thus far buying the latest and the best with little concern to genuine value for money. All that is changing. With the economic climate as it is, it was time for me to face facts, owning ...  Read the complete review

I only recently bought this mobile phone and have to say it is comfortable and easy to use. If your looking for a middle of the range touchscreen mobile phone this is it. Nokia is known for not complicating the overall mobile use. Its up to date, looks good, takes pictures and videos in reasonable quality and you can turn the ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have a had a few discussions about mobile phones and eventually we got around to one simple thing, what are they for? Sounds obvious I know and slightly odd too but essentially we make calls and send texts most frequently. Perhaps you may argue that point somewhat if you are a smartphone user and strangely I am. I love my ...  Read the complete review

When my beloved iphone had an unfortunate encounter with some water I was left with no phone however fortunately we had a spare one knocking about the house after the other half bought it, decided he did not like the fact that it did not have wifi and then changed to an iphone of his own, anyway this meant that in my time of need and the ...  Read the complete review

While on holiday in Malaysia during the summer, I managed to leave my mobile in a hotel room and it 'disappeared' once the cleaners had been in. As it was a phone I was not particularly fond of and it was insured I was not particularly worried and simply blocked the SIM and waited until we got home to sort a new one out. The ...  Read the complete review

As our mobile phone contract was up for renewal (although, truth be told we were looking to cancel it) we were contacted by our mobile phone provider and offered the new Nokia 5230. The touch screen phone arrived within a few days of us being contacted and it was plugged in and charged up ready to be used within a matter of ...  Read the complete review

I am going to start this review by declaring that I am not into gadgets and that there are really only two things that I want to use a mobile phone for and that is making calls and texting! All of the other stuff I can take or leave! I think that is why I was quite happy to stick with my old Nokia with its somewhat antiquated push ...  Read the complete review

I have always favoured Nokia phones and was offered the 5230 recently for my upgrade through 3 network. The phone has good qualities and is a very good touch screen which isn't too sensitive it's just right, you normally need to tap your menu options twice to go into it which I think is a good idea as it is so easy to press ...  Read the complete review
