Nokia has released its famous square form factor vertical sliding QWERTY phone in India, the Nokia X5, at an MRP of Rs. 10,499. Certainly novel looking, the Nokia X5 is sure to turn heads in the wild, and apart from being a capable messaging (SMS, email, IM) and social networking device with its QWERTY keyboard and native social networking and mail applications, the phone is supposedly an entertainment device, and indeed, is nicknamed the Nokia “Jukebox” X5 by the Finnish mobile giant.

The Nokia X5 with its Nokia Messaging features will also appeal to the youth with its five trendy colours and reflective finish, as well as with its 5MP camera with 4x digital zoom, and a LED flash that can also be used as a flashlight.
