Just announced -- the Nokia 5230 looks like the old 5800 XpressMusic minus the WiFi feature and it's not even under the XM series. So it looks like Nokia is bringing on the platoon with several full touchscreen phones this year. The 5800XM was still a bit on the expensive end but with the cheaper Nokia 5230 and the 5530XM, things should get interesting. The Nokia 5230 3.2 inch screen with a resolution of 360x640 pixels and supports handwriting recognition, an accelerometer and proximity sensor. Coming out at the end of the year, and according to GSM Arena, the Nokia 5230 could fetch somewhere around Php10 to Php11k. The Nokia E51 first came out in September last year, it already got my attention. The Nokia E51 is a business/productivity phone so expect good connectivity options -- WiFi and 3.5G or HSDPA (3.6MBps). For a retail price of Php12,300, this unit is a great buy -- probably the cheapest full-featured business phone that went out of Nokia's doors.
