  • nasally voice

  • Download PC suite for the phone from nokia.com it will help with all media problems:)

  • how do we chage ringtone

  • It took her like 2 hours to open the 2nd slot LOL! xD

  • I load songs onto memory chip under sounds (because there is no file for MUSIC) but the songs don't show up under all music. Any ideas?

  • i have Nokia 5230 and don´t 3G i have 3,5G

  • how do i change my ringtone?

  • how do you get sd card out?

  • @thejeffenat0r u push it using something small then it will pop out

  • I am selling my nokia nuron for $100 in the ogden, UT area (area code 84403)

  • @WhiteWolf1145 Pm me for ksl ad link

  • I bought this phone... wish i hadn't. It is slow, big, ugly, thick and generally sucks!. It has problems with the message alerting sometime. The best thing i got out of this phone was the 4gb sd card (which also is mostly filled when you receive it with junk)

  • @WhiteWolf1145

    Weird, because I've never had any problems with this phone. I don't know what the hell is this "Nuron", but I sure know that I don't have one. The name of the model that I have is 5230 Black Navi, if it even matters. It should be the same phone.

    I've been completely satisfied with it, it never freezes and it's really smooth. The only negative thing that comes to my mind is that it doesn't have Wi-Fi in it.

    The best phone I've ever owned (or equal with the Nokia 3310).

  • Im getting this phone in a week.So excited.

  • is it hard to text?

  • @xoblackout yes! considering it freezes half the time

  • @xoblackout It is sort of hard at first

  • dang how fat is that phone

  • That's Resistive touchscreen, not Capacitive.

  • @Kosiahime7

    It's a lady...

  • @DBZGokuSaiyan lmao oh......=/

  • @Kosiahime7

    xD Eas okay.

  • is the web free and does the ovi store need web. if the ovi store does need web do you have to pay?

  • is the web free or do you have to pay for it? and also is it possible to get apps i didnt hear if she said you can or cant. thank you

  • can i get apps on this phone or no?

  • I just bough this phone, the Nuron 5230, a few months ago. Before that I'D never had a TouchScreen phone either. I Like the vibration feature when I tap on the screen, it Let's you know performed an action or clicked on a link or webpage. OverAll, I'm REALLY lovin it so far. For its relatively INexpensive price tag, it does JUST about everything and has ALL the capabilities, like msgr/AIM and browsing sports Updates, that I could possibly NEED. All of that Extra crap that these new phones have

  • @shyjayb All the extra 'Features' that some of these newer phones Have, like Wi-Fi for example, are completely and utterly USEless and unnecessary to me. Being as I ALREADY have my Own LapTop, why the hell would I go and spend HUNDREDS extra, or whatever the cost is, on a phone Just so I can go to starbucks and pick up a signal to use the web at regular speed on a PHONE? I'd much rather browse the internet on a COMPUTER (you can get a mini laptop for 1/4 the price) with a 15-inch screen Lol..

  • @shyjayb What do you use for sport updates? I'm coming from a blackberry bold 9000 and i used to use score mobile.

    I think im liking nokia again. My old highschool phones all were nokia. I dunno why i ever left them!!!

    I think in 6months i'll get the high end N8.

  • That lady has dry hands!

  • can you take a pic of someone and put it to there number and can you assign certain ringers to a number with this phone..thanks

  • NOPE THAT IS 5800

  • does anyone know how to download videos from the nuron phone to a computer?

  • does anyone know how to download videos from the nuron phone to a computer?

  • does anone know how to put itunes music on this phone?? do you use the usb port, or something else??

  • @royalxchaos9 Itunes only works with ipods and iphones.

  • I just bought a 5230. Never used a touch screen cell phone before. Just wondering if it was normal to feel and hear a vibration when you tap the screen? Or should I exchange the phone?

  • @voxtar2001 it is normal i have a touch screen phone it does the exact same thing that your phone is doing

  • @voxtar2001 it's normal. i went to t-mobile to try out some new phones and all the touch-screen ones i tried out have a slight vibration.

  • @voxtar2001

    Yes its normal.

  • can you plese anser can you use utube without data plan since it has it has it on the apps because when i go to web menu and go to Facebook it says i need data plan but when i click utube it come srieght up.

  • I just ordered this phone so do i need to have internet to access the AIM and YIM?

  • This phone is alright..I still really miss my iphone though.

  • do u have any idea about how to make a loud ringtone ??

  • is there free internet on that phone or do you need to buy the internet to watch youtube (APP) and enter the ovi store??

  • @jjchang310 you need to pay for data

  • @jjchang310 There's no free internet (Wi-Fi). You're going to have to get the internet plan if anything.

  • Im Gettin That Phone Today Or Tomarrow I CANT WAIT!

  • no wifi? damn

  • @Justice4x the 5800 got exactly the same things and wifi + 3.2 mp camera. actually this is a lower end 5800

  • @Justice4x there is an app for wifi works great

  • @MIAxProductions what is theAPP called???

    

  • so beefy fuck tmobile for not making th sumsung highlight best phone ever and asurion sucks so bad.

  • actually its also available in black

  • i am a guy and i think the phone is really cool but the design looks like its for girls... is it?

  • @gamer7790 unisex actually

  • @gamer7790 Just get the damn phone and stop being gay.

  • can you get it in black?

    

  • Will the GPS work without a data/internet plan? If so, does it depend on if you have bars or not?

  • @HerNameIsMusic You can use the GPS without internet

  • Dear Reviewer: as a Mac user, I want to thank you for this wonderful review and what it means to me that you compared it on many things. I'm disappointed though in the Nuron's ability to perform those touchscreen things that the iPhone normally can do (like pinching to zoom). Not perfect, this phone is great as an entry-level for the young professional or folks who used to have a Sidekick and want an upgrade or just something different.

    Good day and God bless.

  • i am getting this phone in about week.. do you have to pay for the gps?

  • @selenalove98 no costs for navi

  • Getting this phone on wednesday cant wait :)

  • is the messaging responsive?

  • Anyone know how I can put music from my itunes program onto the nokia nuron?

  • @NicoRuthLina just get the micro sd card and put it in the adapter that connects it to the computer and it'll bring up the folders for music then you just drag the music from itunes into that folder and when you're done put the micro sd card back in ur phone and you should have the music

  • thanks for review but i think the most important thing is..... WHAT ABOUT CALL QUALITY?! does anyone care about this anymore? I sure do.

  • @lukehard242 Its fair. I mean it depends where you are. If you get 3G service where you are then call quality is great, but if its just normal or roaming sometimes it will cut out.

  • @kealeykizer09 thanks for the info!!!! Honestly! I like Nokia but as you know not all devices are made equal.

  • Not a bad device actually if someone wants something different besides Android..etc..

    I have an HTC Hero with sprint and pay $69 a month for almost unlimited everything.

    Love the phone but I could have this and pay $59 a month for the same thing with TMobile's buy the phone option with no contract...only $179 right now..(Id make my money back by selling my 2 sprint phones).....Hmmmm. :-/

  • How can you get on the web, without wi-fi?

  • @Santana2163 3G with tmobiles optional data plan. A lot of people says it's only $10 a month.

  • @cupofrice

    In the UK T-mobile internet is only £20 for 6 months, unlimited on PAYG.

    (Unlimited being their description for 1 gig limit per month, but with no extra costs should you go over that limit,just speed cap)

    SERIOUSLY good deal from T-Mobile. Shame these other greedy bastards don't follow T-Mobiles lead.

    Screw you Vodafone, Virgin, Orange and 02...T-Moble rules.

  • i heard that if you get a phone with internet Capabilities that T-Mobile forces internet on you...Is that true?

  • @klintonG no... not really, they wont force it on you... however, you wont be able to back up your data mobily, so calendar, (for one) wont be backed up... once the software update happnes, idk why, but your stuff is deleted... i did that on a sidekick with no internet, cuz it was pricey and ever 2-3 months i lost all my data... (except contacts cuz i used my sim card) it was annoying. they wont force it, but its annoying

  • is the gps and the internet free or do you have to pay for them? And is ovi free?

  • i need help removing the memory card, so can you help me with it.. thanks

  • does it have a keyboard?

  • Comment removed

  • can you set your own wallpaper? also, can you get rid of the search and apps ont he front screen?

  • @tallan94 yes, yes, and yes, i just bought one

  • How is the battery life? TM site says one thing, but a lot of other review pages that are reputable say 7 hrs of talk time. What have you noticed.

  • does it ever stop working for the touch screen?

  • Yes u do need internet, go to a t-mobile store in a mall and ask for info dont buy online. I have no annual contract 500 minutes unlimited texting and unlimited web for 50 dollars a month ( without unlimited web the phone is 39.99 a month)

  • does anyone know if u need the internet plan for youtube,myspace,facebook and the ovi market?? plz reply bcuz i might get gis phone! :)

  • Can you download apps without internet for the Nokia 5230 Nuron

  • how to download apps without internet nokia nuron

  • just a suggestion, you can really put it on the desk after showing all the sides of the phone... otherwise great reviews!

  • @mfa50000 by the way, it is very helpful to be able to see the size of the phone, therefore the hand is a good comparison, and also the phones...

  • does anyone know how to put videos from ur pc onto the nokia nuron. like where do u drag the file into when you plug it in the usb.

  • @whitexripple You should be able to mount the Nuron as a Mass Storage and just drag and copy files.

  • @MobileTechReview Please Can you Tell Me How This Fone Connects To The Internet If There Is No Wi-fi?

    Does It Cost?

  • @GrimeBoss 3G

  • @whitexripple

    get nokia phone suite, u would be able to do it

  • This is my first nokia phone , andi bought it yesterday and its AWSOME!!!

  • Hows the internet on this? Fast? Slow? I understand that there's no wifi, so hows the 3G t-mobile? Thinking of buying this, its cheap and its a nokia, which means it will last, final advices awaited...................

  • @achaarpickler

    Its very decent on 3g giving speeds up to about 384 kbs. Flash intensive sites take longer (funnily enough T-Mobiles takes F*ing AGES....silly bastards)

    Sites like youtube are now optimised so video streaming is great on 3g.

    T-Mobile rules in the UK as you can get 6 months unlimited internet for £20 and if you go over the 1 gig month limit, they just cap your speed, they don't charge anything extra which is just excellent. Makes all other companies look like greedy assholes.

  • you forgot the handwriting feature ! but who cares about the plastic cover ?!

  • you need to press in then the memory card will pop out LOL

  • does the phone play music when you get a text message? and is the phone messages in chat form or it is uts one big old inbox still? need to know these things.

  • Just got the phone today! Loves it. Easy to text with.

  • i will get this phone,i love it!

  • phone sucks.

    apps are even worst.

    internet takes 4 ever 2 load.

  • Which is better the Nokia Nuron or the Samsung Highlight?

  • This is a pretty good fone, got it this morning, im loving it

  • what model is that motorola?

  • This phone SUCKS ok nobodody get it because the software sucks and it has a lot of lagg also the internet is slow

  • @pierreman7894 if you update the firmware the speed increase of the OS is quite better

  • you sold me on this phone lol A+

  • my parents just bought me this phone. should i regret asking for it? or should i keep it?

  • is the touchscreen any good?

  • @TheKingORock I personly don't think so.

  • So, what happens if there is no wifi?  I dodnt get it. O.o

  • hey :) i bought this phone, and i like it! except that i have problems removing the sd memory card... its very very difficult to remove it, i have to pull really hard with my nails. am i doing something wrong?

  • is this a Nokia 5230 Nuron ?

  • Just got this for free but I still like the N79. I bought the N79 to retire the 5530 XM, which is a pimped out version of this minus GPS and 3G.

  • Thanks for the review!

  • The music player in speaker is very...quiet. BUT IT'S THE SAME ON ALL SMARTPHONES. I know somebody with an iTouch, and I tried speaker, which was no good. But I went to the store today, because I'm getting one next month. And it really impressed me. But what really gave me assurance was my friend who's an electronic whiz, and he gave me the go ahead. So I'd get this phone.

  • what's the diffrence on nokia 5230 nuron and nokia 5230 ?

  • Can you set Ringtones and MP3's as Text/Message Tones? And are you able to set specific Ringtones/MP3's to certain people in your contacts? Me and my friends dont ring each other much but text loads so its kinda important.

  • All I wanna know is can I watch youtube videos on it, listen to a lot of music, and read fanfics online, cause that's mainly the only thing i do.

  • how do u change the ringtone???

  • Can you add your own themes like other Nokias?

  • yes it has free navigation with activation. this phone reminds me of the nokia 5300,bulky but nice. meaning theyre probably gana bring a slimmed down version of this phone. they finally got a 3.5mm jack, but they took out the flash:(

  • this phone looks so cool but then when you see the side of it and how bulky it looks it makes me sad

  • this is a great phone, for those of you worried about internet, you do not need it, u will still download things from tzones, and everything will work fine, you just cant download maps, or go on the web, facebook etc. however instant messenging will still work but you will have to pay for it...

    great phone!!

  • @MobileTechReview I'm having trouble sending videos via text message. It always says the file is too big. I never had this problem with old cell phone. Am I doing something wrong?
