Nokia 5230 Announced priced at Rs.10000

It doesn’t look all that dis-similar to the 5800 Xpressmusic or the 5530 which is just launched. Wonder why they (Nokia) are making the phones look just the same…

Nice phone., I like the way it look.. Thump’s up NOKIA..

5800 has all features, screen 3.2” 3.2mp(has auto focus x3 image and x4 video optical zoom + auto focus + dual led)

5530 doesnt have 3g,has a small screen size 2.8” 3.2mp(no optical zoom but auto focus with single led)

5230 doesnt hav wifi bt does hav 3g, screen size 3.2” 2mp(has x3 image and x4 video bt no led flash)

Really these phones are very cute.
Iam saveing my money to buy this model.

hi friends
i wanna buy 5230 in delhi
can any1 tell me when it launch in delhi
and price

Q2 i want to compare sansung star and nokia 5230??
Ans .Samsung Star is not a direct 5530 competitor, but I found that many cellphone buyers are confused between Nokia 5530 and Samsung Star . So, i decided to write a post to clarify their doubts.

You may wonder why am i not calling it a competitor when Star is also a touchscreen phone with similar looks and size and falls in the same price range.I’m saying this on the basis of smartphone capabilities.

While Nokia 5530 is a smartphone based on Symbian operating system, Samsung Tocco Lite is not a true smartphone i.e it cannot run 3rd party applications.This single reason is sufficient enough to consider buying 5530 over Samsung Star.A true smartphone has an operating system such as Windows Mobile, Mac, Linux, Symbian, Android etc.If you don’t know the potential of a Symbain smartphone then go through this post.

You will feel handicapped without provision for 3rd party applications. If you use Windows on your PC you may be aware how useful the 3rd party applications are.For Example Photoshop, Firefox, Media Player Classic to name a few. Can you manage without these?

Although, this is the most important reason for choosing 5530 over Star, there are few more points that i would like to elaborate. Let’s go through them

Nokia 5530

Samsung Star

Display – Nokia 5530 and Samsung Star have same size touchscreens, but there is a huge difference between the screen resolutions. 5530 has much better 360×640 pixels, 16 Million Colors display, whereas Samsung Star has 240×400 pixels display with 256 K Colors.

Memory – Nokia 5530 comes with a 4 GB card in the sales package whereas you have to purchase a Micro SD card for Samsung Star separately.

Camera – Both have 3.2 Megapixel cameras but with huge difference. Nokia 5530 has an autofocus camera with LED Flash and can record DVD quality videos at 30 fps, whereas Star has a Fixed focus camera which lacks Flash and records poor quality videos at 15 fps.
I got the video samples for both the cameras from gsmarena.You can check it out yourself.

Nokia 5530 Video Sample , Samsung Star Video Sample

Connectivity – While 553o offers high speed connectivity through Wifi, there is no means for high speed net browsing on Star.You have to rely on slow EDGE or GPRS connection.

Hardware – 5530 has very powerful hardware which includes 434 Mhz CPU and 128 MB RAM, same as Nokia flagship N97.This means faster operations and multitasking i.e running many applications simultaneously.

Kinetic Scrolling – Have you checked the 20 Min kinetic scrolling video of Nokia 5530? It is an awesome feature and works through the entire user interface.

Multimedia – 5530 offers excellent audio quality through noise isolating earphones in the sales package.It also includes standard 3.5 mm jack to plug in you own earphones. There is no such provision in Samsung Star.You can play full length DVD movies in .avi format on your 5530 through a 3rd party software.

Task Manager – You can switch between running applications and close them through task manager. No such task manager in Samsung Star.

I don’t want this to be a biased comparison with all praise for Nokia 5530. There are few cool things in Samsung Star also which i would like to describe.

TouchWiz – Samsung’s TouchWiz interface let’s you add widgets on you phone’s homescreen. The widget can be anything such as calendar, clock, document viewer etc.

Smart Unlock – By drawing a letter on you touchscreen you can unlock phone as well as launch applications. For example, R to launch Radio.

I am cunfused guys.. Does it have auto focus n flash ! ! ?
