Nokia 5230 phone features
If you see the phone from a distance, I bet your first thought would be ‘Ohh Nokia 5800 Xpress Music’, untill you bring it closer to you to find that there is no Xpress music tag on the front. Even though it doesn’t have that tag, it virtually matches every spec that 5800 has, the only exception being that the 5230 doesn’t have wifi feature.
