Nokia Launches 5230 Nuron Phone on T-Mobile
Posted in: nokia, Smartphones, symbian, t-mobile, Today's Chili
Let’s hear it for Nokia scoring another subsidized smartphone deal–a rarity in the U.S.
Nokia and T-Mobile have unveiled the 5230 Nuron, a Symbian Series 60 smartphone with a 3.2-inch, 640-by-360-pixel, plastic resistive touch screen–the same one as in the $479 unlocked Nokia N97 mini.
The Nuron lacks a hardware QWERTY keyboard, though. As a result, it’s considerably smaller; the Nuron measures 4.4 by 2.0 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.1 ounces with the included stylus.
The Nuron features the excellent Ovi Maps app for free, turn-by-turn, voice-enabled GPS directions. The Nuron also comes with Ovi Store support, plus all the usual hooks for instant messaging, texting, work and persona e-mail.
Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, VGA video recording (640-by-480 at 30 frames per second), and a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack. The Nokia Nuron will cost just $69.99 with a two-year contract; no word yet on a release date.
