The US will wake up to a fine howdy do from Nokia's 5230 Nuron now that it's officially announced for T-Mobile. The device first introduced by Nokia back in August (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/video-nokia-5230-touchscreen-seen-lagging-the-competition/) will be available to middle America "in the coming weeks" on T-Mobile's 3G network. And unlike yesterday's wee C5 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/nokia-c5-arrives-with-s60-3rd-edition-os-pretending-to-be-a-sma/), Nuron features a reasonable 3.2-inch, 640 x 360 (nHD) touchscreen for your Ovi Store apps and free Ovi Maps with turn-by-turn navigation to dance upon. Hell, it even has an onscreen keyboard if you want to do something productive like tap out a few emails, enter a URL to surf the web, or update your social networking status(es). While no price or specific date was announced, we've seen rumors of a 17 March (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/06/t-mobile-getting-moto-cliq-xt-htc-hd2-nokia-nuron-next-month/) launch for $70 on contract, or $180 without (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/htc-hd2-and-moto-cliq-xt-pricing-revealed-in-t-mobile-database/). Just remember that Nuron runs S60 5th; and with the improved Symbian ^3 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/symbian-s-3-officially-announced-previewed-on-video/) touchscreen UI just around the corner (and no clear upgrade path) you'd better really want this device to make the jump whenever it does launch.
