Nokia launches phone with screen in the middle

Weird - but interesting...

The new Nokia 5510 has a full keyboard with a screen in the middle, and an FM radio, MP3 player.

The phone is clearly aimed at the youth market, with five built-in games, special games controls, and enhanced SMS features.

The phone follows Motorola's V100 phone with built-in keyboard, aimed at the SMS-loving teen market, and an increasingly bizarre range of mobile devices appearing on the market in time for Christmas.

In a statement introducing the device, Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president of Nokia, explained the company's thinking thus: "Every now and then it is crucial that you turn your thinking around. This time we took a phone, turned it sideways, added a full keyboard, music, and some fun!"
