After many years of using a simple phone with minimum necessary features, I have finally purchased a Smartphone and that too with my own salary. It feels awesome! It has all the latest features and has a full touch screen!! The model is Nokia 5230. Does anyone else own this model? How does it feel to buy a brand new cell with lot of latest features? Please give in your responses. Also, I have started a discussion after around 3 months, so expecting good number of responses. Don't let me down friends!

Hope you will enjoy continous music, videos and pictures on your latest gadget. Hopefully, it would have 2 GB memory, which would give you thorough liverage to store songs and videos, pictures etc. of yoru choice. Deepak

Congratulations on your new phone! I hope you will enjoy using it. I am sort of the opposite of you, when I was still single, I would always upgrade my phone to get the most recent released units. But now that I am already married and have kids, I realized that the most important thing about a cellphone is to be able to send SMS and make calls so I am currently using a very simply unit, its a lot cheaper and I get to use the money for other more important things

Hi. Thanks for the response. You say that once you are married you stop being youth and lose all the enthusiasm of owning latest cellphones? I think this should not happen. One must not stop loving things and stop being like youth once he/she is married. But be like you always did and try to have the same interest awake in you. If you are satisfied with your simple cell then all right, no issues! But give it a thought Cheers

I agree with you on this. there are other considerations when you're married already. It just remind me of my brother in law because the first thing he bought with his first salary is to buy a fancy cellphone. It looks great and packed with features that i'm sure he'll not be using. The sand part is, he got held up after a week and gone is cellphone. So i guess he learned his lessons because he is now using a second hand dilapidated cellphone.

Hi, Thanks for your response. Yes today cellphone has become one of the most desired thing in the world. Wherever you go, whoever you see has one with him/her. Also it is one technology which always keeps you connected with outside world. And with new features, it almost equivalent to a palm top.

Thanks for your response! It all depends on your needs. If you want to have some latest features then you can go for this one. This model provides large number of features in a very cheap price. There are also many gorgeous color. I have bought the complete black color one. I wanted the white and pink color body but the shop people said it will take around 2 months more for that to come. I couldn't wait to buy it, so I bought whatever was available!

even i got a nokia 5230 few months back... it has all that is needed in a smart phone but it dosent cost that much, the video quality is really good... the only thing lacking is wifi... but 3g compensate it to a large extend.

It's always good to get something as a reward for your hard work since there's this feeling of joy. I have a smart phone also, sure it looks great with all its features but it really depends on what type of user are you. I too owned a Nokie E series phone but i'm not able to use most of its features. The good thing is i was able to get it at a bargain price. Cheers!

Hi, Thanks for the response. I agree with you. It depends on person how useful the cell and it's features will be to him/her. If the person is more inclined towards business then E series is best since it is good for mailing and typing is fast with the keyboard! It is totally like a palm top! Even I got this model at bargain price and that is the reason I got it. I feel proud as well since I bought it from my own salary! Cheers!

I brought this phone for listing music. It was very excited moment when i got this cellphone. My father brought this cellphone for me. I went to market with my father and choosed this cellphone. I am really very happy to get this phone. This is my first multimedia cellphone!

Hi,Thanks for the response. Ya, it is very exciting to get a new thing and that too after so many days of wait. I had promised my parents that I will no longer buy a cell from my father's money but will get it with my own salary! And so I did, hurray!

I think it all depends on what kind of phone I would buy. The one I have now, has a touchscreen and a qwerty keyboard, which is good for texting, which i don't do to much but once in awhile. I like phones with lots of features, and mine has that. The one thing I am disappointed with though, is that on the internet I am limited, as it doesn't have a flash player, or java, whcih means some sites won't play videos if they have them. I can watch youtube videos though as it came installed on the phone, and the videos are really clear and crisp. It is good for that anyway. Take care, and happy mylotting.

Hi, Thanks for your response! OH you have a keyboard as well. I have it in touch. When I turn the phone sideways in 90 degree, the phone buttons become keyboard and it becomes easier to type. I use the stick to type my smses now. It looks really modern and sophisticated!

congratulations! I can understand how you are feeling now! yeah, everyone get excited when he buys something new and longs for. I am not willing to spend too much money on a cellphone because it is just a phone even though it is multi-functional. Some cellphones are as expensive as a laptop and apparently a cellphone can neve be more useful than a laptop. Therefore, I would not spend 1000 US dollars on a cellphone ! And by the way, with 1200$, you can buy a thinnest laptop in the world now!

Hi Magic! Thanks for responding! Ya nowadays there are cell phones which cost very high but the model I have bought is just around 190$ and is a product of a very popular cellphone company that is NOKIA - Connecting people Of course, mobiles can never replace laptops, but they have their own charm and gives the person holding it new Look! The better the model the more stylish that person looks Cheers!

Well when it comes to buying a new phone I look at it like a kid at christmas who just got a new toy. First thing I do is spend hours playing with its features exploring it, and over all seeing how long it takes to ware out the battery. I have to know how long it'll take to charge, what wares it out, and I like something to be freashly charged. When you first get a phone freash out of the box, quite often as the case, the phone is partically charged. So you want that battery to last you a little bit when you actually need it.

Hi, Thanks for your response. So you love the best charged phone. I mean the phone which can go on for lonfer time without charge and also takes less time to charge. I also spent my whole saturday exploring all the features, themes, wallpapers, tones, games etc available in it. I also checked out few sites using the GPRS. It is really smooth and prompt!

I actually do not have a cell phone, they are a very modern piece of technology. I am currently struggling with money also, so I figure when I get a job I will get a smartphone. The longer I wait though the more technology they put into cell phones. It seems like everyday there are new and better cell phones made so If I keep waiting I should be able to get a nice one in the near future for a good price that has many features.

Hi Thanks a lot for the response. This is exactly what my opinion is about the cellphone as well. After spending so many years with a simple model with minimum necessary features I finally bought this for me which has almost all the latest features! Even I used to think that the more I wait the more features I will get in one single phone and that too in cheaper rate. Cell phone prices keep going down! Do not worry you will soon have your new smart cell phone! Best luck!

Hi, Thanks for your response. The best thing about getting the phone with latest features is that you won't get bored of it very soon. It takes a bit of time for any new,widely used, feature to come in the market so fast. So, I am enjoying my new phone and latest model in the market!
