It's about time T-Mobile got a device running S60. This model, which appears to be a stripped down 5800 XpressMusic, is a good start. It will be interesting to see if T-Mobile crippled it or will allow it to make full use of the functions Nokia built in to other markets 5230.

Like Android phones there is an application market, called The Ovi Store, to provide content and applications.

The Nokia Nuron will be the first device from a national U.S. carrier to come pre-loaded with Ovi Store by Nokia – giving consumers access to thousands of applications and other exciting content. T-Mobile also plans to simplify the purchase experience for its customers and expects to enable them to pay for this great content by having it billed to their monthly bill or via a credit card.
