Nokia X5 square slider officially launched in Singapore

Nokia X5

Nokia X5-01 – Symbian S60 3rd Edition with Full QWERTY, Nokia just officially launched the X5 in Singapore, apparently as a followup to the Twist  and the latest chubby square slider to hit in the past few months after the the Motorola Flipout and Kin One. No, we’re not sure why this form factor is suddenly a Thing either. This guy is actually Nokia’s second X5 –a China-only X5 with a totally different design was announced in April, so that’s nice and confusing. We don’t have an official spec sheet on this new X5 yet, but we’re told it runs Symbian S60, and has a five megapixel camera, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube integration, as well as some sort of shake-based notification feature we don’t really understand. It comes in black, hot pink, bright blue, and, um, unattractive yellow, and it’s pretty thick, if the hands-on photos are to be believed. That’s all we know for now — hit the source links for a bunch more photos, and we’ll let you know if we hear anything else.

Nokia X5-01 price would be around 160 Euros. Specs and features of Nokia X5-01: 5MP camera with LED flash, internal storage of 200MB, external microSD card (2GB included and can support 32GB), 16days of standby and 24 hours of music playbac
