Top 10 reasons to buy Nokia 5230 over iPhone 3GS

IPhone has brought revolution in the field of touchscreen smartphones. Previously, the touch phones used to be mostly business oriented with resistive display. Apple is the first smartphone maker which succeeded in making a full fledged multimedia touchscreen smartphone, thanks to  its capacitive display with multitouch.Today every smartphone maker is trying to compete with iPhone. Developers are also most interested in developing applications and games for iPhone because of its wide user base. But your most dearful iphone isn’t without flaws. In few areas it gets beaten by even the cheapest entry level  Nokia touchscreen, 5230. I will give you 10 good reasons to choose Nokia 5230 over iPhone.

Nokia 5230 Nokia 5230 Apple iPhone 3gs Apple iPhone 3gs

Nokia 5230 vs iPhone 3GS -

1. Screen Resolution – Nokia 5230 has higher resolution (360×640 pixels) display than iPhone 3GS (320×480 p).

2. Bluetooth File Transfer – These days Bluetooth file transfer is a must have feature for sharing multimedia files with you friends on the go. iPhone don’t let you use Bluetooth for this purpose. It can be used only for making calls and listening to music over stereo Bluetooth headset.

3. Multitasking – If you have used a smartphone with multitasking then you will feel handicapped using iPhone 3GS. Multitasking lets you use lot of applications simultaneously and you can easily switch between them or close any application as per your wish.

4. Flash in web Browser – We all know that iPhone has the highly rated Safari web browser. But are you aware that it lacks Flash support. These days most of the sites use flash which can be accessed with Nokia 5230′s S60 web browser.

5. Overheating – iPhone 3GS has a powerful hardware, may be thats the cause behind overheating reported by many users.

6. File Manager – Just like Windows Explorer a File Manager is a must for every smartphone to browse through all you files at one place. iPhone 3GS lacks file manager.

7. FM Radio – Even an entry level basic cellphone offers Radio, and this high end multimedia device lacks FM. Nokia 5230 has Stereo FM with RDS.

8. Expandable Memory – iPhone offers sufficient storage space for multimedia files but support for memory card is always a good thing. Moreover, you cannot use iPhone’s huge memory as USB mass storage device in Windows.

9. Battery – The iPhone hardware keeps on improving which is good thing, but whats the use if it affects the battery life so much. If you want to keep you iPhone awake for long hours you are bound to limited usage of other phone features.

10. Price – iPhone 3GS $199 price sounds good to hear, but along with that comes the  monthly plan which pushes iPhone 3GS price to around $1000. Unlocked Nokia 5230 is expected  to launch for just $199.

  4. wil Says:

    i ve just had a new 5230 after havig an i phone which i ve kept 4days because this phone is very ¨fragile¨ and for the moment i´m very happy of my phone cheers.

  5. nikola Says:

    nokia has a better resolution but the Iphone screen is much better and bigger.

  6. gaurav Says:

    its really a nice comparision ….i reaaly don’t even think of that///nice presentation….

  7. mohak Says:

    I’m also using a nokia 5230 and my frnd iphone 3g , i used to be jealous for he has an iphone but this comparision makes me feel proud that 5230 is better than iphone3g

  8. Anmol Duggal Says:

    Well Done Dude you have made exactly a right comparison between two of them as i also have a nokia 5230 & my brother had iPhone 3Gs so i also told him the same problems associated with the iphone. I recommend the viewers to buy it.

    top 4 reasons to buy iPhone 3GS over nokia 5230
    1. capacative touchscreen
    2. good combination of size and display pixal value.
    3.lots of software and games.
    4.You can update OS with new features, as far as it’s capable to hardware.
    lots of more reasons present, but these are most and importent for everyone.

  10. sam Says:

    I am not fan of nokia or iPhone. Just give info.
    best luck.

  11. deven Says:

    but i-phone is the best

  12. bossul Says:

    f***off iphone fanboys nokia 5230 kick iphone’s ass

  13. Parag Says:

    Guys…
    Iphone is way better than nokia 5230

    1. Multi touch interface
    2. Iphone app store
    3. Iphone processor

    Nokia N8 will be a good comparison for Apple Iphone 3GS…
    But dude get realistic nokia 5230 is not even near to iphone specs…

  14. Michael Ebbage Says:

    Replying to sam’s four points:

    1. Yes, the iPhone has a capacitive touch screen. Whilst the 5230 uses resistive, it’s still very good, responsive and easy to use. It’s a million times better than the pitiful touch buttons on the Samsung U600.

    2. The iPhone has a good display size. But the resolution on the 5230 is very slick. It’s down to personal preference as tp whether you prefer average size, good quality images or larger sized, average quality.

    3. The 5230 also has lots of software and games. There’s the new Ovi store for starters. More importantly, the 5230 supports Java – meaning that you’re not tied to once store/source of applications and you could even write your own without restrictive licensing.

    4. The 5230 also has the ability to receive and install updates and new features.

  15. James Says:

    I just loaded up my site on the WIND network with this brand new Nokia 5230 and maaaaan it looks crisp :) While some might argue the iPhone is a bigger screen, the candybar form factor on the 5230 is ideal to fit in my front pocket. It has tap/vibration to simulate pressing a real button which is super cool. I also like the spring-loaded button on the side for keylock/power-saving feature. This phone is really great the more I dive into it! On the iPhone apps side… while I think yes there are cool (time-wasting) apps on the iPhone. I think the App Store has a lifespan, more websites with better business productivity will have mobile pages, making the web open again. Thanks Nokia for a great phone and WIND mobile for a 1700MHz faster network, parting ways with the big three has never been more satisfying.

  16. Pasturelands Says:

    Nice review! I have a 5230, silver with stylus model, and it totally ROCKS!! With the latest upgrade v20.00 which I downloaded this morning, my phone is snappier than ever!

    I have never EVER lusted for the Iphone (despite the over-the-top hype).

    5 reasons why I NEVER like Iphones:

    1. The price — it is as expensive as 2 desktop computers, and that f*cking phone is not even a computer yet!!

    2. Missing FM radio — this is a basic, but crucial feature, in case you run out of power but still need to listen to music! FM drains only about 1/3 the power it takes to play MP3s on your phone.

    3. Proprietary Mumbo-jumbo — Apple has an air-tight, lock-stock-and-barrel, licensed phone and apps. Nobody can change the themes, change the covers, add non-existent external memory (so Apple has virtual MONOPOLY of the hardware sales), or even add do-it-yourself softwares, like Java. EVERYTHING you put in the Iphone must be from Apple, or the phone will reject it. BUMMER!!

    4. So-so battery. You’d think that with a phone as expensive as the IPhone, you’ll get the best long-lasting battery too– wrong! What’s the use of having soo many apps, when your power runs out faster than quicksilver? My 5230, in spite of all the games, calls, GPS, mp3, browsing, chatting, and downloading I do with it, lasts me a full day. For a $150-dollar phone, that is one absolutely heavy-duty battery! AMAZING!!

    5. Lack of Personality. Nobody can change the themes, the backcovers, the front, or even upgrade the memory of the Iphone. Everybody’s I-phones look the same black bloc, except for some who bought the white ones. Very Funny.

    They should re-name the Iphone to the STEVE JOBS PHONE. You buy only COPIES of Steve’s phone, so you can’t touch anything inside it to personalize it.

    If your life doesn’t revolve around a phone, your money is better spent on reliable and cheaper phones like 5230 which get the SAME JOB DONE as the Iphone for LESS than a QUARTER OF THE PRICE!!

    You can actually buy around 4 or 5 Nokia 5230s for the price of just 1 Iphone, but nokia has superior features comparable if not better than the Iphone!! THANK YOU, NOKIA!!

  17. Tiffany Says:

    Nokia overall is better than the ipnone, you can use any nokia to tether to your laptop through the nokia pc suite which is free. The 5230 runs java AND symbian apps, so it has like infinite customization. Nokia really just kicks apples but, i cant wait til nokia gets more popular here in the u.s. Everyone will be capable of customizing their phone with as many apps amd themes their little heart could desire. The new quote will be “Apple who?”- oh, ps, all the themes and games i mentioned are free.

  18. Leon Says:

    Great article, that and the 640 px screen clinched it for me.

    Good comments, particularly regarding tethering to a Win PC. Nokia phones have a huge legacy of serving as PCs’ modems and its odds on your Linux or Windows will be happy to buddy up.

    True, I dislike Apple. Content is still king and the iphone is overpriced and the mac a vehicle for artists.

    I think processors are pretty similar and a feature vs efficiency balance must be struck. Throwing money at new plant helps here, ditto for digital architecture, but Nokia and ARM are easily able to challenge / dominate Apple.

    Power to the petit portable.

  19. Leebus Says:

    I love how everybody forgets that you can unlock an iPhone and you can change anything you want on it. In ease of use the iPhone wins without a fight. It’s so much easier to do what you want to do without fiddling in menus. Thr screen itself feels better and is easier. I’ve had my iPhone since it first came out and it hasn’t failed me yet. It’s solid and reliable.

  20. Nauman Says:

    COOOOOOOOOL……
    More then EXPECTED

  21. dov Says:

    Guys!!!

    Global OVI maps with navigation!!!! Free, for life!!!
    Don’t leave this one out!!! It’s unbeatable!!!
    iphone gps apps are 100$/country!
    So on the navigation part Nokia pwned the industry..
    Also they make more user friendly phones..
    On the iphone you feel limited, controlled, ruled..
    I miss the wifi in the 5230 though.. But the price is right!! :)

  22. Sallie Says:

    I just got the 5230 and love it. It’s awesome being able to listen to music and browse the internet on this phone. It is not the fasted phone and has a really small amount of onboard memory, but I’m really happy with it. For wil calling it fragile. I’d owned it less than 24 hours when I accidentally dropped it off a balcony and it fell almost 2 stories onto a hard floor and while it came apart. I just put it back together and the screen and case are fine and not even dented. This can be compared to most of my friends with IPhones and touches who have cracked screens from carrying it around in their bags/pockets, lol. And the data plan with Tmobile is only $10 a month and it was free from Radio Shack with a free bluetooth that you can listen to music with. Awesome buy!

  23. Saurav Says:

    I agree with the list.
    Iphone sounds rich but what’s the use of having that non-customizable phone. Instead we can turn our 5230 into iphone by just downloading its theme and apps.
    5230 rocks, iphone sucks.
    Apple always charge high, whether it be their ipod,laptops or mobile phones. these motherfuckers think us fool that we’ll pay so high. Only the intelligent ones will quickly find what a big fraud that apple is.

  24. tangerinesus Says:

    The Nokia 5230 uses Ovi Suites and the Ovi Store which gives you A LOT of free and paid apps and games. If you’re using your iPhone to play games all the time, you should get a gaming console, not a cell phone…

    I agree with dov. The Ovi GPS and Voice Navigation software should be on this list. Its quality is comparable to the best, and the best part is that it’s FREE!

    Also to sam, the 5230′s software/OS can be updated. I just updated mine.

    And lastly, Saurav, I totally agree. Except for trying to make my 5230 look like an iPhone. My 5230 deserves better. :P

  25. BonzitorSA Says:

    Dudes. I hv been dieng to get an iphone bt after buyng my nokia 5230 nuron…am very hapy and dnt need the iphone. Jst need to update my 5230 dan unleash more and more.

  26. tester101 Says:

    * millions of apps in Appstore

    * @Saurav who sayes iphone cant be customized?? have u heard about spring board ..?? and changing the wallapper in 5230 is not customization.
    * when u have 64 gb of memory wot u want more..??
    * when u have a WiFi u can listen to all the radios in the world .
    * multitasking available in ver4
    * video chat & folders available in ver4

  27. mahipal Says:

    i got 5230 really good phone..games,apps,camera,music,mail setup,gps n navigator, maps, and video as well…….cool

  28. nagarajumadaka Says:

    nokia 5230 best in price aswellas features.it has dual softwares java and symbian togeather.bigscreen.i love it.

  29. bellzindonesia Says:

    dude.. it’s true. we can’t compare the n5230 with the iphone. even it’s 2g. bcoz we r in the diferent class. it’s really sucks on d price indeed. but they r really good on the feature. right now i use my n5230, its really great and even its resistive touch screen, but preety comfortable though.. and it have an ovi store and ovi maps which is im well satisfied with a low budget phone. thx to nokia.

  30. Marcin Says:

    Now, there is iPhone 4 which is much better than Nokia 5230. 5 MPix cam, display with 960 x 640 pix, 512 MByte RAM (Nokia 128MB), 1ghrz processor (Nokia about 300 Mhrz), WiFi – most useful tool on earth. Many features can be added by jailbrak like Bluetooth file transfer and designs.

  31. Frank Says:

    iphone is no clever choice because of it’s limitations and the incredible high price. no battery change – throw it away after 1000 charges. no fm radio – no free reception. no real bluetooth – you can’t send a picture from device to device. and don’t forget: iphone means chinese low cost production with bad working conditions. Why should i pay 700 euros, when i get all the missing features for 140?

  32. psilas Says:

    Pound 4 Pound the Nokia wins without doubt.

    Both have features that the other really needs and both have limitations.

    If you want ease of use, TONS of apps/games and an overpriced fashion statement, get the iphone.

    If you want lots of apps/games,better connectivity (bluetooth), flash video streams(Skyfire), java support and a MUCH better price get the 5230.

    ps. T-mobiles PAYG 6month internet deal is INSANE, no matter what phone you have. Makes every other tariff look like a festering turd. T-Mobile should be praised, the rest should be sued.

  33. Fabio Says:

    i’m waiting for the nokia arrives to my store i’m saving money like forever
    Here in luxembourg it cost 139.00€ (unlocked)

    5230 TAKES OVER IPHONE AS YOU CAN BUY THREE 5230 INSTEAD OF ONE IPHONE FOR YOUR THREE CHILDREN.

  41. Elangbam Shanjit Says:

    2 months before I bought nokia 5230. I found many facilities here which I am using now. But I confuse it whether videocall facility is there or not .Sometimes not only 3G ,even 3.5g I got it ,but I can’t see the face of my friend. As well as l don’t know how to set if this facility is there. When I checke through google ,it is there videocall facility but only can’t see the picture.

  42. dorito Says:

    Lol! at first i was kinda jealous of all my friends with iphones. but iphone got powned by n 5230-best phone ever! its got everything iphone has and more. you can get all the apps you want thanks to the new ovi store and most are 100% FREE! also you can personalize appearance and phone settings to suit YOU. nice and slick too. Definitely recommend it.

  43. miles jackson Says:

    I have the Nokia 5230 and i have used the iphone. Overall, the Nokia is much better value for money there is a difference in quality the nokia wins hands down every time.

    I always show off my Nokia 5230 to iphone users and they look kind of bewildered when they say “bet yours can’t do this” and i say “yes it can” and i show them. the look on their faces says it all.

  44. Dagdu jogi Says:

    nice mob

    noki 5230 have fucationality than
    other mobile.

  45. nuron nerd Says:

    The 5230 with skyfire and symtorrent makes my laptop obsolete.This phone is simply amazing,way more options than iphone-that’s a fact.

  46. arjun Says:

    NOKIA is great than other mobiles.But not giving jobs to freshers by training them.

  47. cross Says:

  49. DarkPrince Says:

    So as I read these posts I can’t help, but think that the peple who own the Nokia 5230 are jealous of those who own the Iphone so therefore dissing the Iphone to uplift there spirits about not being able to afford the Iphone. Make sense to anyone else?

  50. Shelby Says:

    C’mon people, 5230 is laggy and performance is just unsatisfactory. Applications are stuck in JAVA mode forever. This is low tech. You can do more on the iPhone especially when jailbroken. 5230 don’t have WiFi and wireless tethering. Don’t be hating on the iPhone cause you know it’s way better than this piece of junk.

  51. anand Says:

    Hi Guys,

    i have used both mobiles….

    but as per my review ,nokia 5230 is the fabulous phone compared with iphone.
    nokia has made a superb phone.
    5230 is truly one of the best mobile i ever had.

    thanks nokia.

  52. nain Says:

    i have nokia 5230 too bt i dnt have internet access i dnt have wifi on it hw cn i download it on my mobile cz whenever i use internet it takes out $5 from my ballance :(
    PLZ HELP ME

  53. xshotman Says:

    get real… Not all people knows how to jailbreak an iphone plus theres the risk you can brick the phone if someone doesnt do it correctly. iOS4 drains your battery (IPHONE 1G, 2G & 3GS because of the new wallpaper & multitasking feature) two times faster using this OS. Do some reasearch, wifi on the iphone 2-3 hours only vs the 5230 3G/HDPA @ 4-6 hours of use

  54. Some Guy Says:

    the Problem is that nokia 5320 doesnt have wifi

  55. Some Guy Says:

    and does anyone know how to download stuff from computer

  56. sumanth Says:

    d nokia 5230 is awesome phone and beats d iphone 3gs anyday!everythin right from battery life, good resolution to themes n personalisation its a gr8 phone.. y buy d iphone if u hav to take troubles of jailbraking it n stuff? the only thing missing in 5230 is Wifi and i’m sure d nokia N8 will beat any smartphone apple comes up with

  57. shrinidhi Says:

    dude u’ve got to be kidding.. The 5230 has a screen which sucks to the core.. the simplicity, the processing speed and the simply amazing interface doesnt make u feel like u need third party interface, and other customizations. it is as good as it is. And you dont buy an iPhone just because it’s made by apple. It is one of the top phones available in the market. When you have so many apps, you have to compromise on battey running all the apps. Dont expect everything to be so perfect. The 5230 has one of the worst designs, and the keypad sucks because of the resistive screen. Though it’s pricey, the iPhone is worth it.

  58. watery Says:

    Every phone has its own feature.If you want a mobile which has a touch screen and you have that little amount then buy Nokia 5230.the main things of it are only…..see below:
    1.cheap
    2.proximity sensor
    3.nokia navigation for free,
    4.little harder than iphone
    5.its own flash browser
    of these things nokia 5230 is recommanded for starting touch screen buyers.But,remember this if you want to buy Iphone than buy Ipod touch 4G..

  59. jscottu Says:

    If you can afford it then of course the iphone is nice. But consider that for TEN DOLLARS a month you can have a data plan for the Nokia (200MB/mo). For the money…I’ll take the Nokia.

  60. kishan Says:

    i have nokia 5230, and happy to see that it has 10 reliable advantages over iphone3GS

  61. kler Says:

    man i just got 5230 free from wind its so nice free gps wow i was thing to spend $600 on i phone.

  62. ashish Says:

    expensive things aren’t always the best

    iphone has some good features but because of nokia

    5230′s

    easiness and price it outshines iphone 3gs.

  63. jnricha Says:

    I have a nokia nuron and i love it. it seems all the iphone people talk about is app this and app that, but what about using it for its simplest purpose, a phone. the iphone sucks as a phone so if you want a great phone the nuron wins hands down. the iphone does a lot as far as apps and connectivity but if you want a phone which is what these devices are to begin with then the nokia is the way to go. i only paid $79 for my nuron and the iphone is at least twice that.

  64. MikeP Says:

    You missed several great reasons:

    1) 10 dollar a month internet access vs 30+ for iphone.

    2) FREE mapping and location software built in. Free downloadable maps.

    3) You can use these maps OFFLINE. So even with no data plan at all, you can use the GPS to do turn-by-turn spoken navigation or just look at the map and follow your progress.

  65. jrod Says:

    nokia nuron rulez!!!

  66. braderz Says:

    i have an iphone and nokia 5230 and i sold the iphone because the nokia is way better and the screen is good quality and its good for texting, i advise any1 to get the 5230 over the iphone

  67. Kevin Says:

    To Shelby the Nuron 5230 Does have wireless tethering i use it all the time!! I had the 5230 for a yr now and I love it.. My friend has the iphone 3g and he cant multi task like me…haha I laughed at him…I just downloaded SPB mobile shell Symbian on my nokia and I LOVE IT!! It has 3D pyramid scrolling.It brings a whole new home page to ur phone with lots of new options…check it out trust me you’ll love it!!
    http://www.getjar.com/mobile/39548/spb-mobile-shell-symbian-for-nokia-5230/

    Can ur iphone do that?? Didn’t think so buddy…..haha

    You can continue to pay $30 a month while I pay $10 to do the same exact thing….The only thing I like about the iphone better than my phone is that the screen is bigger,,That’s it
    I have so many games and apps and music …It’s crazy

  68. Geoff Says:

    one more fact about the nokia 5230 is the fact that it has built in gps and the nokia ovi maps software is completely free,, there is a map for every country in the world and you dont have to pay a single fee………… now that has to be worth something !!!

  69. Sandy Says:

    nokia 5230 is really nice and economical phone in 3G phones i ever seen.I can do almost everything with it.

  70. Johann Says:

    Still discovering the amazing wonders of the Nokia 5230,by far the best cell phone among the 6 or 7 I have had. I often use it with the pen from my old Psion.

  71. ChrisH Says:

    Didn’t you forget to tell that the 5230 got an unstable OS – even after the new software update from Feb. 2011?

    5230 has been my phone for 4 months now, and I’m sick and tired of the annoying restarts/freezing/not responding buttons :( (

    I honestly donno if Apple is doing better, but after being a “fatefull” Nokia owner the last 20 years this is my last Nokia forever.
    It’s not that old steady Nokia feeling anymore.

  72. mahe Says:

    ya 5230 has flows but here in india u can buy 2 N8 for the price of iphone4g .at just 6800 rupee no phone give this much feautures

  73. cherry Says:

    lack of multitasking in 3gs is one of the main reason!!!! nokia is better…. and downloads required apple id… ofcourse iphone4 is good as-well it having multitasking but just compare price !!!!!!! so better have nokia 5230 than iphone…

  74. kAmrna Says:

    iphone bhi acha hai lekin aap ko agr koi touch pone lena hai to wo lelo 5230 iphone manga boht hai…….koi le sakta hai aur koi nae

  75. auic Says:

    you foolishsssssssssshhhhhhhhhhers

    Nokia 52** series is the world’s best phone series and in India 7 out of 10 people have it.

    special reason is that

    52** series have millions of application through ovi store and music phones are best library for mobile.

    +

    it supports Java format also

    i m using Nokia 5235 3g

    well, its not always necessary that better thing is expensive. People who are backing iphone , they are only those who own them , a person with brain will not buy iphone , because it dont worth what it costs.

    nokia 5230 is the best phone. I have it. It is awesome. After full charge it can play music continuously for 8 hrs. Great battery.

    Well it depends on the person 5230 is cheap Iphones 3Gs or 4 are expencive if you can afford both its really down to personal prefference lets say some buy phones just to call message and thats it so they need more battery etc they go for the 5230 some buy phones like a mini computer for games etc so they buy the Iphones both phones have theyre pros and cons lets say gps wifi storage freedom of customization (Well you CAN do it on the iphone but no jailbreak=no freedom) there are more things but thats sums it up i guess.

    Hi guys.

    So I must tell you one thing:Apple Iphone or Ipod touch is something like play console and nokia is reliable high-quality mobile from finland for bussinesmen. Iphone is for games or for fun.Nokia 5230 is “kicked” with apps but it´s WI-FI it is pity for us (I have nokia 5230 too (: ) and Iphone yes and you can surffing on the internet a lot.

    So you cann´t you can not compare the iPhone vs Nokia !!!! do not remeber…

    nokia 5230=7800 rupees
    I phone 3gs =30000
    And the features are almost same. Small difference there.
    Economically 5230 is best
    Nokia is always rocking
