Nokia 5230 overclocked to 800MHz

   

 

A young chap named “hyp3rxx” has apparently taken the boring ol’ ARM 11 434MHz processor of the Nokia 5230 (same as the N97) and overclocked it to a spankin’ 800Mhz.

As you’ll see in the video below, the 5230 (and hence variants of it like the 5233 and 5235) runs pretty slick at 800Mhz. No word on how this would affect battery life, or instructions yet though.
