In a move that will bring joy to radio listeners and rage to commuters, Nokia's new 5030 handset has scrapped the need to connect headphones to act as an antenna as it will now be built right in instead.

Coming in at a wallet tingling £35 before tax and subsidies, this handset is clearly designed for the budget user who doesn't want the Comes with Music service.
