The Nokia 5230 was announced this morning and while this handset may well come in at less than £100 when it launches later this year, it will still pack in a 3.2-inch touchscreen like the Nokia 5800 and also have the interface of the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Want to know what the Nokia 5230 looks like in the flesh? Well, check out this Nokia 5230 video hands-on and see for yourself…

The Nokia 5230 will be shipping later this year for 149 Euros, SIM free, which should see it hit the UK PAYG market for less than £100 (inc. VAT), making this the most cost-effective Nokia touchscreen handset yet! Nokia will be launching the Nokia 5230 in a wide array of colours, so you’ll be able to match it with the way you want to live your life.

The Nokia 5230 is a 3.2-inch touchscreen device that apparently comes with a full-screen ’soft’ QWERTY keyboard, as well as the new Homescreen we first saw on the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. This means you’ll be able to load four of your favourite apps straight from the homescreen, including the likes of Facebook and YouTube.

Before opting for this handy little handset, we bet you want to see what it looks like in the flesh? For, fortunately for us, the good guys over at Nokia Conversations have already got a video of this neat little handset up and running.
