The touch screen text is quite good. You will slip up on occasion but as long as you touch directly on the letter without sliding your finger, you will be fine.
The thing about Wind, is that it's cheap and affordable. But you get reception like nowhere! All my friends have like Rogers and Bell and Fido, and they have reception in places that i dont.
Dose all the fetures work on the phone? im thinking about buying it, it is my first phone and i wasnt sure how good the touch screen txt was? please comment if you know how good it works!
@hatesbusdriver101 I have had this phone now 6 months and it has worked perfectly. Perfect phone for watching movies and playing games. I dont know what kind is good touch screen but this screen is good enought for me. I have 8 GT memory card in it and i have many movies in phone :)
this can use internet right? 'cause i'm forcing my mom to buy the nokia 5530 but she told me that this is better. i really love 5530 cause it has wifi but no 3G. and 5230 has 3G but no wifi. >__< ohh my. do'nt know what to do.
I have mine in black with a purple back case, im using a 8GB memory card and i have no lag, sometimes i get slight lag when running a few things at once,
Hey guys anyone using the Nokia 5230 here facing the battery or phone overheat issue? I mean like when ur in a phone call n browsing through the internet the phone gets really hot n the battery drained away so fast. Is this battery or phone problem? Is it normal?
I heard ppl said touchscreen phone will generate heat easily? Pls reply and thanks a million in advance... =)
Im WARNING you guys DONT GET WIND its a companie that barely has any bar connection and ver very bad costumer service!!!! I wasted 450$ on a blackberry bold for nothing cause i cant even use it at work cause it drops calls
The reason I will get it, despite its shortcomings, is that it uses the lower cost data package ($10 per month) not the $25 per month smartphone data package.
this handy is for low money very good, has all what you need but wLan is not needed, this handy has great feature for low budget = > umts, hsdpa, up to 16 gb microsd, nHD 640x480, Symbian S60 5th edition, every apps and games install able, inkl free navigation ovi maps (works great) and has a good mp3player and a gps modul, 2mp cam is need for standard pics, for high screen pics buy a cam lol
@ai4281 They definitely need to get an Android device of some sort, but you can't blame them for not getting the iPhone. Apple doesn't make an iPhone compatible with their frequencies.
Im getting a new phone would u suggest this phone ?

skatenjoii 1 year ago
@skatenjoii Mine came with a 4gb card. It's an unloced one from newegg.
After looking at many reviews, it seems that some Do come with one, some do NOT.
But really, it's a cheap phone, and a 4gb MicroSD card will only set you back 20 bucks...
