The Touchscreen mania, kick started by the Apple iPhone seems to be the buzzword of the mobile industry now. The mobile handset market is gradually getting flooded by a number of touchscreen handsets and the icing on the cake is that, a good number of them are in the sub-Rs 10,000 category.
Samsung commands a good market share in this category with their Corby and Star. Now the time has come for market leader Nokia to grab a larger pie in the affordable touchscreen segment. After its higher-end 5800 and 5230 getting good response, Nokia has now launched 5233.
Nokia 5233 is an affordable Touchscreen Mobile phone with only 2G and without Wi-Fi which makes it different from its 3G sibling, Nokia 5230.
