Top 10 Nokia 5230 deals

Intro

Nokia's 5230 is cool, compact and looks brilliant. It's also home to a smashing MP3 player, a two megapixel camera for taking fun snaps and a rich 3.2-inch touchscreen.

The 5230 is one of Nokia’s best-selling mobiles ever. And with its stellar music capabilities, it’s not hard to fathom why. The onboard media player is compatible with all major file storage formats and delivers crystal clear sound quality far removed from the standard mobile phone music experience.

And there’s an FM radio installed too , so you can keep up with all the latest news and sport or tune into your favourite DJ. Alternatively, you can take the edge off long journeys by watching a movie on your handset or enjoying videos on YouTube.

But this handset also excels at imaging, too. The two megapixel camera is ideal for capturing life’s spontaneous moments and you can even edit them to ensure the best possible image with the software provided. Plus, it’s similarly impressive at video, recording at 30 frames per second to bring the best out of your mini movies.

Other features of the 5230 include voice commands, an accelerometer, a 3.5mm audio jack to allow you to use the best stereo headphones, downloadable and polyphonic ringtones and HSDPA support for super fast downloads.

To allow you to make the most of the handset’s features, 70Mb of internal memory is provided. This can be boosted by up to 16GB by adding a microSD card.

Amazingly hard to turn off the internet function, so be prepared for frequent mysterious charges. This is a major complaint which stops exploiting its capabilities properly.

Don't buy it. Impossible to find how to operate it using manual. Only way to find out what ringtones sound like is to choose it and ask someone to ring you. Camera is poor.

Well impressed with the Nokia 5230. Only problems I have found are that there was no USB lead supplied and I am unable to get a protective carry case for it.
