Today we will discuss the Nokia 5130 phone. The product, released by the Finnish company at the end of 2008, was for its time a significant blow to the market of mobile devices for competitors. At that moment, almost all manufacturers pursued marginality in the release of their developments.

Thus, Nokia 5130 has become the most affordable music phone.
