Phone owned for more than a year

I own this phone for about 3 years and it is gorgeous,long battery life,good reception,good build quality.The screen could be brighter for outside visibility,but for this price,it's great.The screen can't be cracked at all,because it's resistive :D Love everything about this phone,looks awesome.The camera is ok in good lightning situations,video is great,but still I use my digital camera for photography.I wish this had Wi-Fi.UI speed is good,multimedia is great for me,especially music player.Overall I love this phone! :D

NOKIA 5230 REVIEW

Edited: Nov 13, 2011, 11:48 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

The Nokia 5230, despite falling short of expectations, is an intelligent device that offers a wealth of unique features. Whether these features match your needs is the real question. In my opinion the Nokia 5230 is a standard smart phone it has good features such as fast 3G internet unlimited apps to download and there is lots of space for music. Qwerty key board would be better if much bigger but other than that it is a brilliant phone.
