I guess 5800 XpressMusic is better one...
Nuron is not launched in India I guess...couldn't find the price anywhere...

Nuron is just a name given to 5230 AFAIK. It is the usual 5230 which we can get off ebay or normal brick and mortal stores.

@OP
There is nothing like 5230 XM phone, there is only one type of 5230 available, then there is a variant of the same called 5233 (without GPS and 3G). 5800 also looks like these but has better camera, wifi and bundled card and all.

5230 is your best bet i guess. It has 3G and GPS (i use this a lot) and has very good music quality. Some places it states that it is better than 5800 XM (music i mean). Nokia cameras are usually not that good so 2 Mpx or 3.2 Mpx wont make a difference. Wifi you may not need that much or do u ?
