This time it looks like Nokia wants to offer a gift free of competition. This gift is called Nokia 5230. The competitive price tag is the result of minimal R&D costs. This one is the cheapest S60 touchscreen device. Yes, it cant be compared to 5530 but HSDPA and GPS are nice offer especially for them with good data plan.

You can choose 5230 or 5530 XM according to your requirements, whether you like GPS with fast HSDPA data transfer or WiFi. I think the downgraded snapper is not a matter considering it may not become the great asset in 5530 or 5800.

Mobile phones have started to enter the Touchscreen era, and Nokia just recently announced another touchscreen phone named Nokia 5230. The Nokia 5230 blends the design of the popular Nokia 5800 and the 5530. Well, I’ve got to admit that I’m not that impressed. New design will be great… But hey, I’m not the one who own the Finnish company :)

Another thing that you might like about the new Nokia 5230 is the price. The Nokia 5230 is touted with €149 (around $212); making it a nice competitor for Samsung Corby and the LG Cookie.

It seems that Nokia aims young people who just love affordable touchscreen phones. This is shown from the color variants available for the Nokia 5230. It is bright man….
