my brain gets fucked up when i'm using this phone... its just shit and not worth the money. Im serious, if you don't want your brain to get damaged, don't by this phone
i had this phone for almost a year now and it works pretty darn well. sure it's not bet:) but i wonder if the unlocked version (that's what i have) is better than the one from t-mobile.
this phone has lasted me ages !!! i love it, it is easy to use , good quality camera, video, it never gets jammed, its got good touch sensing, and more ! overall its an amazing and very good quality phone, worth the money! defo!!!!!!!
problem i have with it is when i go into my text messages it just freezes up everything else works fine. Hell the browser is actually awesome for it being a low end phone.
Your review is VERY POOR. Why don't you practice with it first B4 you make a video? You didn't show how to TEXT with this phone and a LOT of your comments only proved that you didn't know much about this phone. (i.e.: what accesories come with the phone ? Do you need a "Special" Data cable? Take a DECENT PICTURE so we can see what it looks like. Show the GPS feature, etc.
@DosXsConTecate You yanks only like Android and iOS devices! I'm so sick of you all. Why don't you look at functionality. It doesn't always have to look incredible!
Just got it as my first smartphone, i never had any thing to compair it to so i can give objectively my opinion. I like this phone it does what i want it to do,i agree its a shame it dont have a wifi option but for this price i did not expect this mutch really, but i got a unlimited data thingy (internet) so i am fine with that (costs me less then 3 bucks a month).some thing could be better i guess but all things it says it can do work an it all works pretty easy(never had to look in the manual)
@traxxaslover123 tell me the facts.. its cheap , its fast good responsive screen no lag, no crash .. and if you need wi fi thats why you have your pc.. personally i have a 60mb per month 3g internet program and it goes very fast. i can see game scores, facebook etc. its fucking awsome budget phone.. i just bought it and its amazing
@SnowYuukio its not bad, it took me a while to get used to it cuz my old phone had curved keys(buttons) and on this phone is all square and flat on the screen so its really hard to text without looking.
i also find the qwerty keyboard pretty useless, its really hard to type with and a pain to switch back to a regular phone pad because it cancels the t9, and you need to switch it back.
if you turn off the turning option tho, it doesnt automatically switch to qwerty and isnt that bad to use!
@wilk007 Good deal, but Tesco lock their phones to their network which in all fairness is pretty rubbish for call quality / signal! paid 89 for mine from Argos with 10 quid credit and unlocked to any network :-)
u probably cant answer this, but, my litte music player thing on the home screen ( under the email bar on the contacts bar home screen theme), has completely disappeared... do u know any way to get it back? thanx!
@BRINGTHERAIN1000 the homescreen doesnt adjust no, and tere arent multiple home screens.
yes! u can watch movies, you will hav to transfer them via nokia video manager, which doesnt take too long... the colour and overall picture are rly good on it, and rarely will the pixels be obviously seen wen in a rushed scene, or wen the scene is so loud or explosive.
I guess this is the best low-end touchscreen phone you can ever found, not only it's faster and better than all this Cookie and Corby craps as it's a true smartphone and even have multi-tasking.
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?
