Nokia has just rolled out a very basic phone for the touch screen generation that is more focused on music, flicks and connectivity with friends on the go. As per the specifications, it easily qualifies as the cheapest touch screen Nokia phone available on market, a phone that is expected to take on Apple’s iPhone 2G.
Ready to be shipped in the fourth quarter of this year for €149 (that’s some $213 at today’s rate), it comes with a 3.2-inch 360×640 touchscreen display and a basic 2 MP camera. On the connectivity front you get three dual-band 3.6Mbps UMTS/HSDPA options -850/1900, 850/2100 and 900/2100.
The new Nokia 5230 also supports A-GPS with pre-laden Ovimaps and comes with 70Mb of internal memory which can be expanded thanks to a microSD card. It will cost you a tad more just in case if you wish to download songs from the OviStore. The Nokia 5230 will be available in red, pink, blue, yellow, silver and dark silver.
