Nokia 5250 leaks online!
It would appear Nokia are as loose lipped as Samsung at the moment as the Finns have also let slip about an upcoming product on the Ovi Store support site.

The device in question, the Nokia 5250, is a touchscreen candy-bar phone that looks set to join the 5800 , 5230 and 5530 family of music-centric touchscreen devices.
