Nokia 5230 is a watered down version of the popular Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and will be launched very soon in India. It is a very good mobile phone with a colorful and responsive touchscreen having resolution of 360 X 640 pixels supporting full 16M color range. The camera will be a bit disappointing at only 2.0 MP resolution with no focussing or flash available. Without any further ado let’s take a look at its price.

The phone is expected to be priced at less than Rs. 10,000 to compete with the touchscreen phones like Samsung Star or LG Cookie which are available at as low as Rs. 8,000. But please check your nearest store to confirm the latest prices of these devices. Here is the specification list of the phone.
