Nokia C5-03

Nokia launches the Nokia C5 mobile phone, an inexpensive touchscreen Smartphone with a couple of neat features that may well pique your interest if you want a new cell phone that’s simple to use but covers all of the essentials for modern-day phones. What’s new with the Nokia C5-03? The Nokia C5-03 Smartphone has a 3.2-inch touch display and now features Wi-Fi, for fast internet access without the need or expense of a data plan. The Nokia C5-03 also features a compass and assisted GPS for use with the latest version of the free Ovi Maps hands-free navigation service, now featuring public transport support and location sharing through social networks.

Nokia C5-03 like many recent Nokia phones, you can put your most important contacts directly onto the homescreen so you can call, message or chat them up in just two taps. The Nokia C5-03 handset has a 5-megapixel camera with 4X digital zoom, but no flash. The Nokia C5-03 cell phone measures 105.8mm x 51.0mm x 13.8mm (L x W x H) and weighs 93 grams - that makes it a similar size to the (imminently) forthcoming Nokia C6-01, and quite a bit smaller than the Nokia N8 or Nokia C7.

The Nokia C5-03 phone comes with up to 40MB of user memory and support for MicroSD cards up to 16GB. The talktime is quoted at 11.5 hours for GSM use and 4.5 hours using 3G. Standby time is estimated at 24-25 days. The operating system is Symbian 1 (aka. S60 5th edition touch-edition). The Nokia C5-03 cell phone allows for easy email set-up - either an existing webmail or POP3 provider through Nokia messaging. For business users, there’s also the option of Mail for Exchange. If that isn’t enough, you’ll also find a quick setup wizard for Ovi Mail for users either new to email or who want a different account for their mobile messaging. As you’d expect, there’s also access to Ovi Music and the Ovi Store so you can fill your device with fresh content on a daily basis.

Launching globally at the end of this quarter, the Nokia C5 mobile phone is expected to retail at around €170 before taxes or operator subsidies. As soon as we receive a Nokia C5-03 test sample, we will publish a photo gallery with high resolution pictures, followed by an extensive Nokia C5-03 review.
