I've lost this phone at home in my homecuntry. After 6 years i found it by accident under the bathroom sink wardrobe. Don't ask me how it got there... But after i found it i already had the iPhone 4S. The Nokia was STILL working and it even had batterylife! I gifted it to my little cousin after that. Good memories, really missing those times and this phone.
It may have been clunky, but remember the iPhone 3G couldn't even set a wallpaper, didn't have navigation free and it didn't have MMS. It didn't even have copy & paste, or multitasking, so to copy a number from a website to call meant writing it down on paper then dialling it, switching back and forth would clear whatever you entered everytime. This phone while clunky did significantly more than the iPhone did at the time.
I remember all this on my old iPhone 2G. I also recall not being able to record video when you can actually watch it. You needed Cydia just for a more comprehensive keyboard and a separate video recorder
That holding hand animation hit my nostalgia hard(no diddy) cause I always wanted a Nokia N95 and was on a hold with blackberry and iPhone to eventually the webOS and windows phone
Ah, the 5230. I still have mine (though the charger is long gone). Served me well as my first so-called "smartphone", specially while living and working on a large city, thanks to the free OVI Maps app' it came with.
0:51 It's a latin american version. The carrier it came is not called "Telefónica" its "Movistar". Telefónica means something like "Telephone" in spanish, i'm not too sure about that translation. I speak spanish btw and it's my main language.
It's the spanish one, Telefonica is the statal telecomunications company, Movistar is just a brand by them that happens to have a branch in latinamerica
11:05 My dad had this phone, the game is DJ Mix Tour, and there was actually music! It was the classic/cliché Tektonik song and was called "Alive". True Banger
MEXICAN PHONE SPOTTED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️ I had one exactly like that from that same carrier and still got the box with the broken seal, great video as always!
We had a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic back in like 2012 at my house and it was a blast of a phone at the time in my country, I remember it having a stylus and a cool racing game that I can't recall the name of Safe to say it's one of my favorite phones ever made
I had one of these when I was a kid, and so did my brother. His was just like yours. For me, it was the first smartphone I ever owned, and it was incredible! It was also the last Nokia I ever had.
I definitely would love a symbian gaming video. I so fondly remember playing prince of Persia and Nightmare on my mom's phone all night and her waking me up in the morning to get her phone... man...
the 5110 was the first phone i owned when I was in 1st year college. I also remember that my parents bought me a 3310 when i passed an acceptance exam to be allowed to move up to 3rd year college, but it was stolen from me by a pickpocket while on a bus on the way home. My parents bought me a 5500 when I graduated... I bought a 6600 on my 1st year of working, then a 3200 (which I really like because it came with an stencil cutout that allowed me to customize the look of my phone). Then i switched to Sony W800 for awhile (because music is life during the mid 2000s. The last nokia phone i bought was the Nokia 5800 xpress music. That was the last nokia phone i owned before I switched to android (Samsung Galaxy s3 when it was launched in 2012). Im 42 and I can say that Nokia was literally part of my young adult life.
Well, you don’t need to press it with your thumb skin, but with nails, it will be more responsive. That’s why it has plastic on its lanyard, it’s functioned as stylus
WiFi (and in general internet connectivity on phones) in 2009 was not as prominent as it is nowadays or even 10 years ago The iPhone 4 really helped popularize these concepts
Back in the day i bought this exact phone (with the same Movistar Carrier personalizations) in Colombia. Same animations and all. Also Movistar was present in much of South America so it can be original from any country. Thanks for the video, brought some memories.
I had the Nokia 5800 express music, i think it´s the same phone but in a different version. I have great memories of it, it was so repairable, i droped it in the snow in my yard on new year and didn´t find it until february when the snow melted... IT SURVIVED!!! only thing was the backlight for the hang up button broke and cost me $5 to fix
I literally still have mine sitting in a drawer. Still works perfectly and hardly has any scratches. I bought mine as part of a kit (car phone holder and navi software on a microsd card
I had one of these as my first touch phone. It was horrible to use compared to capacitive touch phones at the time, but then again this came at a great price which made it affordable enough for me.
Well for us poor Indians that was a dream come true. My family was too broke to buy me one. But i vividly remember fiddling it for hours like a hot toy from my friend. This also makes me realise how old i am. Geez. That was 15 years ago🙏🙏
I had this phone when i was like 10 and i LOVED it, it was pretty limited (no wifi, resistive touch and no gpu acceleration) but it was a good phone, i loaded it to the brim with games and apps, remember playing a lot of asphalt 6 on it, listening to music using PowerMP3 and downloading a lot of themes, also i used the ovi store to buy some ringtones, i never got the gps to work though, it used to find satellites but it never managed to get my position, so i never used it it was a slow but realiable phone
hey man i love your videos! as an argentinian i wanna let you know that "Telefonica" it's kinda like AT&T and "Movistar" i'ts a cellphone company and an internet provider these days keep up the good job! and sorry for my bad english
Definitely do a video on Symbian games. Those and old Java games on phones are lost to time. It's sad. Also, Nokia Lumia phones were the absolute best and I miss them so much. Nokia had a couple e try level smartphones a couple years ago too by the way and still make some wonderful dumb phones. Nokia in name only now though. HMD is the company..
I kind of missed the smaller phones. It seems like something shipped a few years ago and instead of getting smaller and smaller, phone started getting larger and larger. When I updated my phone last year, I upgraded from the 11 to the 12 mini because I prefer the smaller form factor. It’s a shame Apple discontinued their smaller phones.
Reviewing Nokia games and software, sounds like a grand idea. I wonder if you even remember quick office? Can you even use the full version of quick office these days? Probably cans considering that the free version was similar to Microsoft office for mobile, where most things you needed a subscription / one-time purchase.
I had a similar Nokia. I forgot the model but it was almost the exact same as this but with a slide out keyboard and a built in flash. Worst phone I ever owned. I paid $329 for it, for $70 I could’ve bought the Samsung galaxy S1… I have never regretted a purchase so much in my life before….. Edit: it was the Nokia C6
The closest phone I had to this was the Nokia 5800 express music and I loved it back in 2008 when I was all of 24 years old Ohhhh I missed the early 2000s phones were so much more interesting than they are now
I remember the 5230 was a good option just in case you couldn't afford the 5800 XpressMusic . Anyways happy times as teenager with such phones . When phones were just cameras and media-players , not a doom-scrolling device.
My sister has the 5800 and absolutely hated it. It slow and the TFT resistive touchscreen is just a pain with a clunky UI. She wanted an iPhone though but this was the most affordable iPhonesque phone she can afford that time and I think this was why this phone was successful - it replicated some of the features of the iPhone (the touchscreen) while costing a third of the price.
Oh absolutely, Symbian (also J2me) games would be amazing. These phones had some amazing and some weird games. Some afaik were only found on these phones and never ported. Although a lot of games I saw on nokia phones were apparently remakes from PC games (which I did not know at the time, since no PC). If you're into rpg's, I would recommend Heroes Lore games. The whole series were scattered around- some only found on j2me, some on older IOS plus, only a few were translated to english.

Nokia came from a "top tier" maker to a Walmart brand basically
True man
The Nokia of today, is not really Nokia anymore. HMD just licensed the Nokia brand.
wasn't it always seen as walmart brand but reliable? sorta like toyota
Well the company was founded by old Nokia employees and the HQ is here in Finland. Spirit of it lives on. @@Xi_Pooh_Shill
@@Darkest_matterNokia was a household brand, especially outside of the US.

Missed opportunity to say nokstalkia
Still have my N95 and I still love it. But funny enough the older the phone the more I love them. So next would be 6600. And then 3210.
I had the Nokia 5800 Express Music. Loved it.
The sound was so good in that phone 😍
The Xpress Music line was amazing. I had the 5310 back in the day.
I had the 5300 in purple. I was obsessed with it.
Still kept mine
But lost the stylus
First smartphone for me
no way; the phone actually coming with things? this phone must come from the future!
Literally from the past that's why it has extras, a phone from the future will probably contain no phone soon

Do more videos with exploring untested phone please I love ur channel
Oh, I've had this. Really loved the music player and the gps features. Camera was also not so bad for the time...
I had this phone. This was equivalent to 100$ in my place. Iphone was something like a dream back then
2 videos in one week is heaven
And it came with a whopping 128 MB of ram!
I have a Nokia 5230 on T-Mobile. Also, the phone you have shown was on Movistar, a cell phone carrier for Spanish speaking countries.
I had the red music express variant with wifi!
WLAN is what Nokia calls WiFi and it can hotspot too
I had one of these as my first touch phone. It was horrible to use compared to capacitive touch phones at the time, but then again this came at a great price which made it affordable enough for me.

omg i remeber playing on this when my mom didnt want to parent
In those days, if you asked a cellphone retailer, Nokia and any 4 digit number, he would bring out that phone
my 5230 came with a stylus, 2 GB sdcard and a music video of Umbrella by Rhianna
