The last we heard of the Nokia 5230 was back in August when it was announced to be hitting store shelves sometime later this year. It’s no surprise we haven’t heard much of it with handsets such as the HTC HD2 taking all the spotlight.

But anyways, if you’re a fan of the Symbian S60 operating system you’ll appreciate the fact that the Nokia 5230 has gotten pictured up close and personal. This phone features a 3.2-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 2MP camera.

Nokia has also pushed the release date to January of next year.

Google Maps was great as it was but the latest version of 3.2 adds one more major feature to an already awesome application.  Version 3.2 now provides users the ability to add multiple layers of information to the maps simultaneously such as Latitude friends’ locations, public transit, traffic with real-time updates, Wikipedia, and local search results.  Users can also add their own custom-built routes created on a PC to the map with the My Map layer.  The local search results can then be displayed as tiny red dots for quick access just in case.  Head over to Google Maps website on your Symbian S60 or Windows Mobile-powered handset to download it.

Look who’s eager to enter the smartphone business! It’s good old Dell, a company that played with the idea for a few years now. We’ve heard rumors about Dell wanting to launch a cell phone before but it looks like this one is the real thing. Dell might even go ahead and launch its first phone next month at 3GSM or Mobile World Congress. It would be really interesting to finally see a Dell smartphone. What’s even more interesting is the future OS of such a phone. The signs indicate that it will be Android or Symbian. So Microsoft’s Windows Mobile doesn’t seem to stand a chance against these two right now. Personally I am really interested to see if Dell is going to enter the cell phone business. I don’t know if Dell is ready for the smartphone business considering what’s out there at the moment. We’ll just have to wait and see!
