Well, this is a technology forum, but mainly focused on Microsoft software (hence the name). A couple of hints: in the future please don't post in bold characters and take some time to read our rules. On to your dilemma: I've used the 5230 for a couple of days, was unhappy with it, moved onto HTC. The 6303 seems OK for what you want / need and that's what it comes down to (apart from taste / bragging, etc ). If I were you, I'd go for the cheaper 6303 as it's based on the 6300 platform (I've used the 6300 for over a year, was extremely happy with it). Hope this hepls you. nitropuppy
