Saw this post this morning and it seems interesting for a cheaper Symbian phone to mess around with, maybe the type of phone to get people to go over to Nokia before fully converting them over to Maemo/Meego

Finally, the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Nuron 5230 XpressMusic was spotted earlier this month on its way to T-Mobile and is apparently coming March 17 for a scant $69.99 ($179.99 with no contract). The 5230 was announced over the summer and is expectedly modest, given the price point; it packs a 3.2″ display, 2 megapixel camera, S60 5th. edition, and has a variety of coloured backplates available. I presume at that pricetag, T-Mobile is taking a pass on Comes with Music.

The specs are so/so, but I might convince a friend who doesn't really care for his phones to give this one a try since he's stuck with some Samsung garbage right now and is about to be out of contract. N900 was way out of his price range.

179 unlocked is really a great deal IMO.

I doubt there is anything comparable at that price range.

and it has BOTH tmobile and at&T 3g frequencies.

and has free turn by turn.
