Nokia Nuron 5230 India

The Nokia Nuron 5230 has strategically released for T-Mobile as it finally brings forth a carrier branded Nokia touchscreen device. In spite of its arrival, the Nokia Nuron 5230 has the monumental task of bringing the limelight back to them in the US as it finds itself in the thick of competition.

As we’ve already seen with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and 5530 XpressMusic, the Nokia Nuron 5230 follows in tradition to those handsets in design. Clad in a white and silver color scheme, the Nuron’s plastic feeling exterior doesn’t exude a high-quality design that would impress anyone holding it for the first time. Granted though it’s extremely light weight when compared to other similar phones, the Nuron is your typical pocketable touchscreen phone that can slip into a pocket unnoticed. Despite it’s plasticy feel, the construction feels solid like it should due to the fact there are no moving parts to make us worry about how it’ll hold up in the long run.

The Nuron 5230 is the first Nokia handset to come with free navigation thanks to the included Ovi Maps 3.0. Maps of the U.S., Canada and Mexico are preloaded and users can even access 180 other maps.

With its integrated GPS sensor and the newest edition of Ovi Maps (full version pre-loaded on this phone or available as a free download from nokia.com/maps), you’ll enjoy all essential car and pedestrian navigation features as well as the ability to use navigation features even when not connected to a cellular network–great for extending battery life and saving on international roaming charges. Features include turn-by-turn voice guidance, over 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities for quick recognition of the landscape around you, access to Lonely Planet travel guides, and detailed maps for over 180 countries. You’ll also be able to keep moving in the right direction with the integrated electronic compass.
