Is It Your Type? Body The Three S's Touch

Mar 30, 2010, 2:20 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Nokia's Nuron brings S60 5th Edition to T-Mobile. For S60 and T-Mo lovers, it may be worth picking up. It offers solid phone, camera and music experiences, but lags the competition when it comes to messaging and social networking.

The Nokia Nuron is an S60 5th Edition-based touchphone that's available from T-Mobile. There's been a significant lack of S60 phones from North American operators in recent months, so if S60 is your thing, the Nuron can fill the gap between now and when Symbian^3 devices begin to ship. It makes a few concessions when compared to its progenitor, the 5800 XpressMusic, in order to reach the sub-$100 price tag. Is it worth it?
