It features a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen, 3G internet support and support for microSD memory cards. It also supports A-GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio and full HTML internet browsing. However, it lacks support for Wi-Fi due to its status as an entry-level smartphone. It was released after with the Nokia 5530 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which featured Wi-Fi support (but not 3G) and both 3G and Wi-Fi, respectively.

During its lifespan, the 5230 sold around 150 million units, making it one of the best selling phones to date. [2] It has had particular success in developing countries.

51.0.002 is the latest firmware version available.

Variants

5233/5228

A cost-reduced variant called the 5233 (5228 in some markets) was released in 2010. It also shares the same form factor as the base 5800 and 5230, but is further cut down as it lacks support for 3G networks. [3]

5230 Nuron

The Nuron version, released only in North America, which has WCDMA Band IV (AWS) enabled, comes preloaded with maps of the United States, Canada and Mexico. [4] In January 2010, Nokia announced that Ovi Maps will be available for free for certain smartphones which includes the Nokia 5230, thus enabling free offline voice guided navigation for more than 180 countries. [5]

Issues

An incident involving a used Nokia 5233 occurred in 2018, eight years after the phone was released, when a teenage girl in India died as a result of injuries stemming from her 5233 as its battery exploded whilst in the middle of a conversation with a relative. [6] [7]

The Nokia 6700 Slide is a mobile phone released by Nokia in May 2010. It has many of the features associated with "smartphones," including email and web browsing, 3G connectivity, and an operating system that provides access to a wide variety of downloadable "apps." However, the form factor of the phone is a "slider" form with a futuristic metallic look. The result is an attempt at stylish appearance, distanced from the chunky "smartphone" forms, while still retaining strong networked function.

Nokia's strategic nomenclature can be traced back in 2005 when the Nseries line was launched, offering devices with flagship specifications and premium hardware at various price points. These devices were considered the "bread and butter" of the company and were often positioned to showcase their latest technologies. Thanks to the newfound consumer and enterprise interest in smartphones at the time, the company introduced four additional collections to diversify their product portfolio and meet demands in most market segments. These new phone series were named Eseries, targeting small business and enterprise customers; Xseries, providing consumer-grade multimedia-focused devices; Cseries, which Nokia used to target both the low-end and mid-range market segments; and Tseries, for devices exclusive to the Chinese market.
