Advertisements The 5230 has been available for quite a while but it’s pretty new over in the US. Here’s an unboxing of the entry level touch smartphone from Nokia using S60 5th edition, the Nokia 5230 Nuron. Despite the friendly price tag ($179 retail, $200 unlocked) the 5230 packs several punches in terms of features. […]
Navigation got really good after Ovi Maps 3.03, (see 10 reasons to love Ovi Maps) Not only did we get free pedestrian and car turn by turn navigation, Ovi Maps received a complete facelift over the previous version with so many new things to enjoy such as city guides, proper search and improved compass. And […]
Space Impact (oh how I missed thee!) has just been revitalised again with a new “compass version” Meteor Shield where rotating the phone would control the game. But it’s incompatible to phones without a magnetometer. But old on….Do any of you remember a couple of games called “Attack of the Killer Virus” and “Moorhen Camera […]
Not content with having the luxury limited Edition N97 Mini Raoul, Nokia have launched a $850 N97 mini Gold Edition. It’s the pearly white N97 mini with 18 carat gold accents wherever there was chrome(or other types of metal).

Some supposed Symbian^4 screenshots. For me, the font change makes a world of difference. I think it’s “Arial” which looks much more appealing (fresh/new?) than the standard “Nokia Sans”.
