The 5230 Nuron is a rare bird for Nokia: a subsidized smartphone for T-Mobile subscribers. At $69.99 with a two-year contract, it's much cheaper than buying one of Nokia's unlocked devices. And unlike the Nokia Surge ($79-$279, ) on AT&T, the Symbian-powered 5230 Nuron features a touch screen and an improved user interface. It's a good choice for social networking fans looking for plenty of e-mail and multimedia features, despite its stubborn touch screen.
