In India, Nokia is the most trusted mobile phone brand.Nokia is well known for offering smartphones in the affordable price range. Smartphones such as 6600, N72, N70, N73 were some of the most successful smartphones in India due to their affordable price tag and good list of features. But now all of these are discontinued as they were quite outdated. So, today if you want to buy a feature rich multimedia phone within Rs 10000, what are your options ?

The craze of touch phones has increased since the arrival of Apple iphone. As iphone is quite costly people look for cheaper options such as Nokia 5800, Samsung star or LG KP500. Now we have one more addition to the list which offers the best value for money and has full potential to become the next bestseller after N73. As you all know its the cheapest Nokia touchscreen , 5230. Nokia 5230 carries almost all the essential features from 5800, at a very affordable price tag of Rs 10000. At present the only Nokia smartphone in this price range is Nokia 5320 which also costs around 10,000 but is nowhere near 5230. Nokia 5230 is a compact smartphone which belongs to XpressMusic and supports N-Gage, but has got a very small low resolution non-touch display.5320 has a slower processor (CPU) as compared to 5230 and lacks Acellerometer as well as GPS. It also records videos at just 15 fps.There are few more models in this price range such as Nokia E51 and 6120 Classic but they are quite outdated.

As N73 is discontinued so there is no point in comparing 5230 with it. So after Nokia 5230 the next higher priced smartphone is Nokia 5530 which will cost you around 13000 and Nokia 5800 will come for around Rs 14000.

Let’s see why I’m calling Nokia 5230 as the upcoming bestseller

Display - Same Big and High resolution touchscreen display as Nokia 5800.

Operating System -- True smartphone based on Symbian S60v5 Operating System

Hardware -- 434 MHZ processor and 128 MB RAM. These specs are too good for an entry level smartphone.

Camera -- Nokia 5230 can record 30 fps videos at 640x480 resolution which again a feature of high end phones.

Kinetic Scrolling -- A cool iphone feature now in Nokia 5230.

Accelerometer -- Motion based sensor which allows you to play motion based games and run useful motion based applications.

3G -- A must have feature in todays world for on the go high speed internet connectivity which is also called mobile broadband. Nokia 5230 has 3.5 G or HSDPA which offers speed up to 3.6 Mbps.

GPS -- I haven’t seen a single smartphone in this price range to offer GPS. GPS works globally and it helps in navigation while travelling.

Battery -- A powerful 1350 mAh battery same as Nokia 5800 to give you long lasting backup. Battery backup is a very crucial aspect, as smartphones consume more battery power.

Price -- To become bestseller one very important thing is “value for money”. If a handset offers lot of features at an affordable price it is very likely, that it can become a bestseller. For just Rs 10000, Nokia 5230 is offering so many cool features of a high end smartphone.

So what’s your plan?
