nokia has released quite a number of low-end phones this year, making hte best and important features on a mobile phone available at low crazily low prices. This phone has actually come down from 2500 to 2200 naira at omegatron int.
When you look at it, the only difference between this and the almighty 5800 is the wlan and 3.2mp camera too 2 mp on the 5230. these two are feaures that you can easily do without. The 5230 still has GPS with free lifetime navigation ACCELEROMETER for motion sensing like in those racing games that you steer the car by tilting the phone like you are actually holding the steering wheel. the size of the screen iss still the same- you’ll definately love watching videos on it.the 2gb should be enough space for lots of tracks and a few movies and the kinetic scrolling and all the other effizy on the UI is even better than on the 5800. Another thing is that the 5230 and the 6800 look exactly the same so you can tell anyone that you use a 5800 and they’ll instantly believe
now when you think of it the price difference between the 5800 and he 5230 is 18000. so is it that wlan and 3.2mp res cost 18000?
In fact I’m off to buy this phone today. some other good bargains are nokia c5, 2710 and 6700 check them out.

I ve been using this phone now for over 3 weeks. Do I need to tell ya all that it is a feature-rich smartphone even though wifi and some other features have been delibrately left out to bring down its price. 3G and GPS have compensated for wifi’s absence.

The camera is below par when compared with 5800 but it can out perform some touchscreen phones. It has very good audio output(if u are a music freak like me, this should get you hooked).

The user interface is also decent looking, good to work with and it respond to touch well.

Guys, make a dash for this phone if you want a device that has got premium features at a give away price. This is surely for bargain hunters!

Deoladoctor,

Get a BlackBerry and you’ll never have to worry about your phone being compared with anything cheap again!

But seriously now, while Nokia has been guilty of this, others like Samsung and LG especially are catching on. So it looks like we are actually in for more of such sad comparisons.

Now comes the 5230. Nokia keeps lowering the price bar. Its a steal for that price and i think i’ll buy one for my boy who has been longing for a symbian touch since the day he saw my 5800.

I agree with all previous comments but i have a bit of an ambivalence towards this phone because it looks too much like my 5800. I was at a scientific meeting when one of my junior colleagues saw my 5800 and pointed it to his friend saying … “CHIDI, SEE THAT CHEAP NOKIA 5230 TOUCH I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE OTHER DAY”

Why should nokia make them look so similar??? I bought my phone last year february for N52,000. I don’t consider that cheap and my phone doesn’t deserve that kind of comment. I would have been happier if the comparison had been with nokia n97.
