Better photo of Nokia 5250 found, details still scarce

10 August, 2010
We caught a brief glimpse of the Nokia 5250 back in July and now it's back. New details are scarce but at least we're getting a better look at the phone. The design is freshened up, but the screen seems to be...

    Symbian is a laggy OS and will always be even the 3^ is laggy and unstable. If nokia wants to compete with a propreitary OS at least they must develop an OS from sctrach like Samsung did with bada, Bada is an amazing OS, too bad there's not any hackers who are intersting in it right now. nokia will keep going down

      Anonymous, 11 Aug 2010I think he was comparing the LG gt540 to the nokia 5250....... moreok, right, but you can't compare the LG with the 5250, I was using the equivalent in nokia offer today, the 5250 is a mystery for now, no one knows how much will it cost, if this is the 100 euro smartphone with the carriers support the price will be so low that will hurt badly any other low cost smartphone. The LG is a great offer but the price is way much for people that actually isn't aware of what is buying and is in search of simplicity with some extras.

In my country you can get the same LG 150 euro pay as you go, and you get nokia 5228 for half of that, isn't that cheaper?? A smartphone for less than 100 euro isn't cheap enough for you??? Are you aware that people that buy that kind of smartphones usually buy dumb phones? That's it, it's magical! A Smartphone for the price of a dumb phone! And there you go why nokia is selling so well...

              Guys.READ THIS.TAKE FR A BLOG.SO
              ifans and android fans.Pls kill s60
              first b4 commenting android or iOS
              is the best smartphone OS
              ---
              SO WHO WINS?
              I am not saying we'll
              know the winners in this
              year or the next. But I do
              suggest that the battle
              for the smartphone OS
              today, is a battle for this
              decade and the next, not
              just for this quarter and
              the next. There will be
              winners, and the power
              of an Android or
              Symbian (and Nokia's
              evolution path to MeeGo)
              or Bada is far far more
              than that with Palm/HP
              or RIM or Apple iOS or
              even Microsoft Phone 7.
              This battle did not start
              in 2007 when the iPhone
              launched, nor in 2009
              when Android launched.
              The battle started a
              decade ago. The iPhone is
              a blip on the radar and is
              meaningless in the long
              war for the OS. We have
              recently seen
              newcomers join the
              battle, but there was a
              time when Microsoft's
              Windows Mobile
              powered 3 out of every
              10 smartphones. There
              was a time when Palm
              was the world's second
              bestselling smartphone.
              There are new rivals
              today, but the
              smartphone was
              invented by Nokia. The
              giant of smartphones,
              when Palm challenged it
              was Nokia. Palm died in
              that contest. The giant
              when Microsoft
              challenged for the
              smartphone market was
              Nokia. Microsoft lost its
              2nd place and is today
              lingering in 5th place.
              The giant when RIM
              challenged for it, was
              Nokia. RIM growth has
              stalled and is now on a
              plateau or even
              declining. The giant when
              Apple challenged it, was
              Nokia. Apple's iPhone
              reached its peak market
              share in 2009 and is now
              in decline. Now the
              newest challenger is
              Android.

                                  I will always laugh over this. Majority of the people dont buy phones over $200. That's why more nokia users. How many people are using the n97, iphone 4, samsung galaxy ?. Pls!! I am begging u, if u get money use it to buy good food and grow well, rather than buying these idiots expensive phones, especially the master idiot "iphone 4"
