Impressive spec sheets and affordable pricing rarely coexist. The Nokia 500 Symbian Anna smartphone announced today breaks that tradition. Powered by a blazing-fast 1 GHz processor, Nokia 500 will cost just £132 before taxes and subsidies when it launches in the third quarter this year. Ready to meet the Nokia 500?
Powered by Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 screams with its 1 GHz processor. Up front you have a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen running at a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. On the back is a video-capable 5-megapixel camera and inside there’s 2GB of storage. To save all your photos and video a microSD card slot with support for up to 32GB cards is included.
The Nokia 500 is a 3G smartphone, capable of 5.8 Mbps HSUPA speeds. Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi b/g round out the feature set. As the lightest Symbian^3 smartphone to date, the 500 weighs just 93 grams and measures 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1 mm. Even more impressive is despite the light and thin form factor, the Nokia 500 still manages 5-7 hours talk time, 35 hours of music playback or over 450 hours of standby.
Nokia hopes you make the 500 your own and will offer the smartphone in both black and white colors. Additionally, there’s three different colored back colors in the box. Once launched, Nokia will offer purple, azure blue, pink, coral red, orange and dark silver colored backs. Stay tuned for the Nokia 500, arriving later this year for £132 before taxes and subsidies. Who says you have to sacrifice performance on a budget?
