New entry-level smartphone approaching using Symbian Anna
Nokia has just announced its latest touch-screen smartphone, the Nokia 500. And it's claiming the budget offering will have all the power of the Sun - at a price that suits even the most bargain-conscious of budgets.
It's going to use the latest version of the Symbian OS - Anna - and will have a much faster web browser because of it. It will also come built-in with the all new Ovi maps, Shazam, Encore, Gig Finder, Lonely Planet and Michelin Guides. Handy, for those who don't like downloading apps themselves.
All will be viewable on its 3.2-inches, 640x360 capacitive touch-screen. It'll measure up at 111.3x53.8x14.1, and somewhat surprisingly, it's going to weigh an almost ethereal 93 grams.
The specs are certainly impressive for what's being touted as an "entry-level" handset. At the heart of the beast is a 1GHz processer; the fastest chip Nokia has ever slapped into a handset, so that it's being released at the cheap end of the price range is a bit of an odd one. It's also going to have a 5-megapixel camera, come with 2GB onboard memory, and will be expandable to 32GB with a MicroSD card.
The Finnish giant is pushing the phone as being great for social networking, with facebook and twitter, both alerting you of pokes and tweets from the phone's home screen.
What's most curious is the name which is a new move for Nokia - this is the first time in a long time the company's buckled the trend of "letter-number" and opted entirely for numbers. Presumably this is the first of a whole new range.
It'll first launch in black, with an exact launch date to be confirmed, but it's likely to be around September. A white version set to hit at the end of the year. It'll cost approx £130 (before tax) - which is indeed damn cheap for a 1Gh jobby
