This is the Nokia 5230. It measures 111mm tall by 51.7mm wide by 14.5mm deep and it weighs 113 grams without the added burden of the stylus (with the stylus included it weighs 115 grams). The Nokia 5230 has a rear facing 2-megapixel camera with 3x digital zoom and a variety of shoot modes to play with, unfortunately there is no flash so we can't vouch for the quality of the camera in dodgy lighting conditions. The 5230 has an array of social networking options and it also features GPS, so you shouldn't get lost. The 5230 also claims to have your entertainment needs covered and there's a microSD card slot that is upgradeable up to 16GB. We will hopefully update you with more information and pictures soon.

Nokia 5230 User Reviews
"It is not a good phone, I will tell you not to buy it. Thank you"
"Well, I am impressed with the functions of this phone but the sound volume is pretty low. The touch sensors work great but I feel they sometimes get a bit less effective because I had been using iphone4 previously. However the phone allover is amazing. However I am back to using my iphone4 again. But for those people who cant afford an iphone, should go for this phone. Believe me!!!"
"Good phone got it for my trip to France it worked well I enjoy the ovi store even thought took ages to figure out now looking for a new phone eg blackberry"
"I have had this mobile for 5 months and the handset has broken twice.. its rubbish. poor battery, slow loading and unreliable. avoid..."
"Great phone! Does exactly the same as an iphone and costs 5 times less, I got mine for £69 from Orange store and a 2 gb sd card thrown in too. Very good value for money"
"Its an ok phone. Battery life is poor, usually about 36 hrs. I had this phone as a replacement via insurance for my broken well battered 5800 Xpress music which is slightly older than this model which in my view was a million times better. Unfortunately no camera flash so can only use in good light conditions. The screen is good in terms of touch sensitivity but occasionally freezes and is often slow when writing texts and have to wait a while for it to catch up! Music player good, as it the ability to add a mini SD card which some rivals do not. I think Nokia have a lot to do in terms of smart phones if it wants to stay a game player in the market. Have just ordered the Samsung Galaxy S so will post a review soon!"
"great phone, good quality, fantastic resistive touchsreen. Fabulous messaging quality, with 4 modes of messaging - multi-tap, t-9, touchscreen qwerty keyboard and handwriting regognition. A super phone, perfect, problem-free and well worth the money!"
"Great little phone, apart from texts delete them selves at random, and the screen freezes now and again , 3 was kindly going to exchange it for an x6 untill I read the reviews and this hand set has the same problem, come on Nokia sort your act out !!!"
"Great Phone on the whole, Text's delete them selves at random before you finish writing the text, very anoying , battery life rubbish , agree about 24 hours , down loaded flip clock from ovie and screen kept freezing , deleted the clock and screen has been ok since"
"Lovely phone well impressed, however battery life is really bad, im on second phone and third battery, I haved never managed to get more than 24 hours life out of the battery and I hardly use the dam thing.. Back to my E 71 im afraid."
