@shjesus The one tap and double tap is actually quite underrstandable once you start using the phone, (i have another Symbian s60v5 phone)... When you tap once you are selecting the item only, so if you select inbox by just tapping once, you could change settings related to the inbox... This applies for all one tap items, i personally got used to it immediately. If you think of it, on a regular pc, you also double click to open files... Does that bug you also??? No, i thought so...
I've had this phone for a week now and it is seriously a great phone. Even though it is kinda thick, it is not heavy in any kind of way. The resistive touch screen is actually understandable once you start using the phone. Personally, I love it and I think it is better than other smartphones (SIDEKICK!!) that I have owned in the past. And $10/mo for data is a deal you cant beat!
Thank you for this review. I was still debating wether I should get this phone or the Samsung Graviy, but I think I'm gonna get this one. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so thick and doesn't have a full slide out keyboard. Thanks :D
@EmceeGeek I might get this because I live in an area where t-mobile is about the only service I can get at my house and at my friends' houses, so I need t-mobile. Children do not need phones and elders often refuse to own a cell phone, and if they do get one for some reason, it is SUPER basic, like the nokia 1661, because they actually understand that cell phones should be used for business and emergencies, not for recreation. And if you aren't just learning to type and if your hands don't hurt
@EmceeGeek from arthritis, learn to tap those extra keys to get the correct capitalization and punctuation. Also, it's a good idea to quite the unneeded trash talk.
I actually have a few more questions about this phone, some things kinda concern my as to the funtionality of it. Geez.. no WiFi, that is super harsh, I guess I could just use my laptop for twitter and everything and then txt in my tweets; I would have to get used to it if I really decide to get it.
I love this phone :) if anything I hate that it's so hard to open the back, and pretty difficult to get the SIM card out. I recommend anyone getting this phone, or any touch screen to invest in a screen protector, it really is worth it.
Its really durable too, I knew this wouldnt be in the review cuz your not gonna drop the phone 30 times in review. but I have this phone and I drop it ALOT, it still works just like the first day I got it. I love how easy it is to text on. but I do have to admit that I can never get a good picture with the phone and the video quality isnt all that great either, in my opinion.
@MrMikePanda click meun button then settings then personal then themes then wallpaper and chose defualt or image and select image u want and there hope i helped :)
@Cindergirl10 Your profile says sixteen. When I said child, I meant younger. Elementary to early middle school. I'm seventeen and I was contemplating whether or not to get this phone. Therefore, it'd only make sense if I meant small children, ones we'd be likely to babysit. Mid-to-late teens are considered young adults. So unless you lied about your age... I don't see why you'd just make it 18 if you did lie about your age on youtube. Just saying...
@gatomommy the video is choppy.....camera has only 2 mega pixel...sound system is like shit.....display is whack.....horizontal view gets slow after some time
This phone doesn't require a data plan...just $10 a month extra for internet if you want it....so why is every review comparing it to the smartphones that require the 30 a month data plans?
i have 3 questions for you guys who have this phone (Nokia 5230 Nuron) 1.is this phone slow?? 2.is there really Wi-Fi on this phone? if so how do you find it? 3.is the AIM,MSN,Yahoo.........cool????? lol there are all my questions that i have about this phone (to make sure because im going to get it on June 28) please respond.....please :( = :)
i wouldn't recommend this phone i had it for about 3 mounth and all it did was freeze up turn its self off and call random people. it is very slow too also the handwriting mode sucks.
This phone is absolutely horrible. I got this with my new T-Mobile service free. And this phone had to be something that Nokia just pushed out. This phone has a unstable platform it runs on. It becomes unresponsive and was refusing to answer calls by using the touch screen and softkey call button. THe phone is slow and and its not worth it. Symbian completely blows!
this is a gay phone first of all why the fuck do i got to tap something every single time x2 ! wtF! this phone sux just like the xt and backflip. man i want the nexus one or htc desire or htc hd2
Old video with good quality ☺️
Gold

even if this wasn't the phone I actually wanted I still have to say, this is the best phone review I've ever seen :)
Good review. Mine is in the mail from T-Mobile. Can't wait!
