    Guys,

    I just bought a Nokia 5230 Mobile.. It's Just cooll


    ** Budget Mobile (Just 8k)

    ** Not Made in China - It's Korean (Quality Quality)

    ** Touchpad

    ** GPS 3G (for the next generation)

    What else you need with this price???

    PS: They have stopped producing this and started 5233 (China and no GPS - 7k) So its a doubt that whether you may get one@@

    DON,

    fact is Nokia Ltd does not trust China for GPS & 3G Technologies. So they've started producing it from korea and tried in India. It was a great success. So they are trying to get more with the name. So producing a lower budget mobile 5233 from China without these technologies. You can also get 5230 still in India (made in korea. But stocks are limited)

    Its luck if you get it for this price. in Bangalore its very rare to find this. I Got it from a Mall. Thats why forced to pay a little more. But got a free bluetooth :D

    Remember Guys. This is the Only one mobile Nokia is selling on India which is a Korean Made.

    Vitrag is Right.

    As they knew that 5230 is good and rare they've increased the rate. But still you can get with local mobile shops. Because most of the guys will be having at least one piece.
