This is my review for the Nokia 5230Pros
Nokia have built a phone that has a large touch sensitive screen that works well, its great for emailing and easy to setup. I have'nt been a fan of nokia for tha past10 years and 2 week ago to be fare I got the offer to try this 5230 in black by the 3 network, there's plenty of apps and technical bits and it does take a bit time to get use to. Like an iphone the apps are endless, the security system by vsure is good, watching your every move looking out for viruses and infections the like. All this come at a fare price, a symbian os tec with free maps and GPS route planner with voice on or off activation male or female so you don't get one sided. This phones for everyone !!!
Cons
Nokia have buit a phone that almost works its a farely new system and some kinks need sorting out. It's always seem to be batterys which lets Nokia phones and me down. I put it on carge through the night set off to work, answer a few calls, emails, call a few people and by 3 pm the phone is dead no power and in the middle of conversation sometime it done just that. I either havre to find a better battery or change phones making this phone to expensive.
Conclusion
Its a great new style of phone its almost having a small laptop as it could compete with one you need a 4mb size micro memory card as you use memory up as quick in this phone, it uses the battery very fast, the screens a good size, its got the gagits that can occupie you forever, free GPS and Maps, Ovia music system that great. The camera very good and videos are too. I'd say 7/10 and I would say thats fare coming from me. Hope this helps anyone, as it really is a good tidy looking phone. Don't take my word for it go out and try one. As all phone systems will be changing like this eventually and its not bad to learn from. Good one Nokia
Verdict
4 (out of 5)

@EdAddis.. not knowing english doesn't have a thing to do with technology.. this person reviewed the phone on technical grounds and isn't writing an essay! fyi people from japan, china, india are are more tech savvy than people of YOUR country and english isnt their first language.. please keep your prejudiced opinions to yourself!

I'm completely stunned at the illiteracy of contributors to this site. Even the main reviewer has worse spelling than the average primary school child in the UK, and appears to be at a complete loss over the use of apostrophes. Just look at the comments above. Could you trust the opinions of people like this?
