Nokia 5230 - Pros & Cons

It looks nice and is also comfortable to carry around
dependable builder on a German construction site in the 80s
solid and dependable
a decent sized card and a sensible data plan
everything in a nice
stepped progression
like the 5530 and has a very good response and feel
The web browser has been improved and can be further improved
The screen Lock toggle is easy to reach and switch
and Emailing is very nice and feels like home for frequent Symbian users
The bottom and the left sides are very simple
great battery life and free GPS navigation
Maps looked clean and were very easy to read
so images look clean and sharp
very simple and intuitive

it is impossible to give users every available feature
the camera does not have a flash
only in some screens and not others
Nokia have not put a USB cable in the retail box
lack of WiFi for Internet connectivity
Does the 5230 lose points for being a resistive touchscreen
do NOT feature GPS and their UI has beem complained of sluggishness and irresponsible behaviour
couldn t afford the 5800 and would not use the internet too much
s a new kid on the block who has got his younger brother along
lack of 3G and good data plans in our country
Does Nokia 5230 have Google Play Services
Does Nokia 5230 have wireless charging
it does not support wireless charging
this was not reproduced on the Nokia 5230
ultra -basic models never really go out of fashion
lost the TV-out port seen on the previous model
screen blackouts itself
losing GPS is a very big letdown for me
Nokia 5230 also lacks a full hardware keyboard
Nuron does not support pinch-to-zoom
colors continue to look washed out
the lighting tended to go from very bright to very dark when panning around
not as intuitive or organized as Android Market or the iPhone App Store
the lack of Wi-Fi and mediocre web browser
it does not come with a memory card
5530 lack 3G and GPS
touch screen cell phones were very rare and expensive
not being able to charge from the microUSB is still unjustified
