Nokia 5000

 

Simple and slimline design for a low price.

Design, ease of use, price

No removable storage, keypad is a little small

Another low-cost entry level phone from Nokia, but the Nokia 5000 manages to squeeze a QVGA screen, Bluetooth and an FM radio into a handset costing less than -100.
