Nokia 5250 to succeed the Nokia 5230

on 07/27/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

Hmmm, things certainly aren’t too rosy for the Nokia 5230 considering it was just launched last November, and will soon receive a successor in the form of the Nokia 5250 already. While the latter has yet to be announced on an official basis, Nokia’s Ovi Store has already listed it among the Nokia handsets which will feature a touchscreen display, while showing off a small photo of the device at the same time which somewhat resembles the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. It will most probably have Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition) as the operating system of choice, with it expected to sport an extremely reasonable price point to keep folks in emerging markets happy.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
