The low-cost Nokia’s Symbian-based 5250 smartphone

The low-cost Nokia’s Symbian-based 5250 smartphone is its cheapest touchscreen smartphone yet at €115 (US$145). Nokia is working hard to get the cost of entry-level smartphones down, in an effort to get its devices and software services, including the Ovi application store and music service, into the hands of more users, according to Geoff Blaber , analyst at CCS Insight. However, to get to €115 Nokia has had to make some decisions to lower the bill of materials

The 5250 is €34 cheaper, but users will have to live without a 3G connection and find their way without the assistance of A-GPS. The phone’s touchscreen is also smaller than that of its predecessor, at 2.8 inches.

However, the new phone comes with an FM radio, a free copy of Guitar Hero 5 Mobile and a music player on the home screen, according to Nokia. From the home screen users can also access e-mail, Facebook and other social networks
