Nokia have officially announced the first member of the new Cseries range; the Nokia C5. Having done the rounds in numerous spy shots and leaked images and hinted at way back when Nokia nabbed the copyright for the C series name, the C5 enters Nokia’s range as the phone to bring the Symbian Smartphone operating system to the masses. Will it succeed? Read on for our first look at the new C5.
Aesthetically, the C5 bears a striking resemblance to the 6300, one of Nokia’s most popular and successful launches in the companies history. Sporting a candybar form factor, the C5 boasts a large finger-friendly keypad and sharp 2.2 inch display. So on the outside, the C5 could easily be mistaken for yet another Nokia candy-bar feature phone but on the inside it’s a totally different story.
The C5 runs Symbian series 60 pitching it as a fully functional smartphone only with a feature phone design, size and, most important of all, price. Download apps from Ovi Store, pull in Facebook status updates to your contacts list and launch instant messaging conversations from your home screen. As a Symbian smartphone, the C5 also benefits from Nokia's free Sat Nav initiative with Ovi Maps pre-installed, offering free voice guided in-car and on foot navigation.
The premium features don’t stop there. The C5 includes HSDPA connectivity ensuring the aforementioned app downloads and web browsing are lightening quick. Nokia have also found room for a 3.15 Megapixel camera with Flickr support, MP3 music player and FM radio, a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth and expandable memory. Throw in up to 12 hours talk time and a staggering 26 days of standby and it’s obvious Nokia are on to a winner with the C5.
