I agree. Nothing to dislike about the Nuron's appearance. As for this unit, if it's comparable in specifications to the Nuron, I doubt you'd see it for $120 off contract as Engadget would like to think but $160-180 is certainly within the realm of possible. If you start chopping out features you could probably get it in under $150.]]>Aug 9th 2010 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/nokia-5250-set-to-replace-the-5230-turn-the-ugly-dial-down-from/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/nokia-5250-set-to-replace-the-5230-turn-the-ugly-dial-down-from/you get alot more for $180 from Nokia than this.

It was actually $180, and then there were various rebates that Tmo delivered to get that down even further. I don't really know who paid for those rebates but I'm relatively sure it was Tmo. Nokia could not sell the Nuron for $69 profitably. Even a very low end device like the C3, running S40, is more expensive than that (around €90 unlocked).]]>Aug 9th 2010 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/nokia-5250-set-to-replace-the-5230-turn-the-ugly-dial-down-from/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/nokia-5250-set-to-replace-the-5230-turn-the-ugly-dial-down-from/
the Nuron is $99 at Costco as a prepiad Tmobile phone

It was originally $69 with contract. $1180 without.

You can buy them at Costco as a prepaid... so basically $99 without contract.

I really like Nokia's phones for the hardware, and the software isn't nearly as bad as the gadget blogs make it out to be, but the Nuron is a no-go for me. I'd rather spend the money on a used Cliq or Mytouch.
