Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
I was thinking of nuying a phone. I want a large screen (not necessarily a touchscreen), so i selected Nokia 5230 as it has 3G too. But then I saw 5235 which is a newer model. But I could not figure out the difference between the two. Can someone tell me if there are any differences. And is this phone a good buy?

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
If that is the only difference, then may be I'll prefer to save a 1000 bucks by buying 5230

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
Rs. 1000 for unlimited music downloads DOES seem very tempting... How is Ovi Music ? Does it offer cool and rare stuff ?

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
and also, 5235 supports video calling while 5230 doesn't(not until the required firmware updates are released....
but you should go with 5230.... great phone....
also if you can up your budget by around 9k, get samsung monte.... great phone with wifi, gps, capacitive touch, 3.2 mp cam....

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
Go with 5230
No use paying 1000 Rs extra for music download, You can transfer them from your PC via USB
More all OVI songs have DRM, so you cant transfer to other phones & incase you format then download all again.

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
yeah, I don't need any rare stuff (music). Moreover, the unlimited download is for a period of 1 year. And I suppose, if 5235 will support video calling then 5230 will do to with the same firmware. Anyways, video calling without a front camera is useless.
As far as samsung is concerned, I hate the UI so much that I don't dare spend so much on a samsung phone. I have used corby & older samsung phones, I find the UI almost as irritating as Chinese phones. I better stick to the dated look of symbian, at least that keeps the cost down

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
Piano Touch
The touch screen works well when pressing the keys & the sound does resemble a piano, however only one key at a time & there is a slight between pressing keys. Something to play about with & show your friends, pretty good....

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
So the price is more or less Rs. 7500 & depending on the shop I may get a memory card bundled. However, I wish to buy a 4GB memory card, so better if there is no bundle & lower price.

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
Nokia bundles this cable only with all phones these days, buy a USB extension cable along with the phone. This cable is good for carrying around and use with laptops

Re: Nokia 5230 Vs. 5235
I bought a Nokia 5235 and got an ovi music unlimited voucher. To activate ovi music unlimited, you have to install ovi player first on your PC, and then register on OVI. Then put enter in this code, and you now have activated your ovi music unlimited account. From then on you can download unlimited music from Ovi Music which has up-to 4 million songs.
