The Nokia 5230 Black on 3

The 3 Nokia 5230 is a great music-oriented phone with broad appeal. The bells and whistles of its predecessor, the 5800 XpressMusic, have been stripped down and rebuilt to give a focused phone that impresses both with musical prowess and a pocket-friendly price.

The Nokia 5230 can store up to 16GB of music and videos - giving you up to 33 hours of entertainment. You can be your own DJ with extensive customisable playlists, so you'll have a set of tunes suitable for any occasion. Plus, if you fancy something new, have a listen to the built-in FM radio - giving you all the latest music at the touch of a button. With the 5230's 3.5mm audio jack, you can plug in your favourite set of headphones for the very best music experience going.

The Nokia 5230 isn't just about music though... it's also an incredibly powerful social networking device. Store up to 20 of your favourite contacts as thumbnail images on your homescreen - then simply tap to call, email or view their latest Facebook updates. With innovative widgets you can keep everyone updated wherever you are. Sending tweets or pokes has never been easier. Sporting GPS navigation, the 5230 will ensure you never get lost trying to find your friends in town, whilst the long-lasting battery will give you up to 432 hours of standby time - so you'll never be without your portable companion between charges.

If you're after an incredibly smart and powerful music player and social networking device, the Three Nokia 5230 will not disappoint – especially when it comes in at such a low price point. Despite its appealing cost, the 5230 is by no means a budget device - it's a true performer that has become a favourite among many, and lives up commendably to the legacy that the 5800 established before it.
