Nokia 5230: 5800XM gets a cheaper twin

definitely wifi over 3g!

Phones with support for wifi and 3g is better. That’s how you would appreciate mobile connectivity better.

Wow! a price range between ten and eleven thou. khit walang wifi or 3g ok na. mid range pinoy lang naman ako. kya ok na olrite yan. priced like the samsung star and lg cookie. bring on those touch screen phones.

That’s it! Keep those mid-priced phones coming. Wifi is not such an earthshaking loss if you think about it. 3G/HSDPA’s fine, no problem.

I’m not easily impressed by all the specs trumpeted by those manufactures. They add some features, and boom – we all go gaga. Haven’t they made their minds up yet what a mobile phone should be?

If they would incorporate a microwave oven into one of those devices, then I would really take notice and queue to the nearest store. Imagine running the device over a whole chicken and voila, roasted chicken for dinner! Now, there’s high-tech!

Then I would call my mother, and invite her for barbecues next Sunday.

i think there is something wrong in the blog…. Just announced, the Nokia 5230 looks like the old 5800 XpressMusic minus the WiFi feature and it’s not even under the XM series. Besides, the cheaper 5530 XM is already out. the 5530 instead 5230….

If this would be released by year’s end yet, would the rest of the pack have their own versions lurking somewhere? You know (hi, manny!!), price, specs and all.

I think its correct, yuga is referring to a different phone when he said 5530XM, follow the link to see the phone :)

I think more people will prefer 5530 than this. But the new N900 looks a lot cooler, hope i have the money to buy that

Okay sana kaso lang walang WiFi.

i want a wifi phone

I just love nokia products, they are very innovative.

I can live without wifi, 3.2 inches is too small for me for surfing the internet, I perfer surfing on a laptop.
But I need the price @7T or lower.

wala atang flash? Y_Y id still go for 5530 kahit single led lang , ok sana yung 5800 just hate the design parang kabaong specially yung likod ugh ugly sana ginawa na rin nilang 3.2″ un screen ng 5530 whew

Awts,,, nakita ko ito sa SM CEBU, nakadisplay na, price was 7990pesos tapos nainterested ako kasi kamukha nya ung Nokia 5800XM.. :D Sana sa Manila mas cheap kasi matatagalan ako bago umuwi sa Cebu. :D

I just bought the 5230 yesterday. :) Pretty cool. So what if wala syang wifi, at 8,000 pesos with 3.5G, its pretty cool na.
