Good Basic Radio Phone. Review on Nokia 5030

A very good, entry level, camera less, basic phone from Nokia. The Nokia 5030 is the first phone to carry aninternal FM radio antenna & loud speaker. It has one touch FM radio and channel selectionkeys on the side of the phone. You can store multiple numbers for your contacts. There is a calendar feature for setting appointments & reminders. There are a few games which come pre-loaded as well.
