May 15th, 2010 - 11:42 pm by Wajiha H.
We are lucky enough to be living in an age where affordable phones, that too smartphones, are available oh so easily! Nokia C5 happens to be one of those. It is a Symbian-running low cost smartphone which will also give you voice guided navigation. What better than that! It also comes with a lifetime license and the cost is literally zero. Whatever it is that makes you think about buying this handset, you will surely not be disappointed.
Nokia C5
The key features are Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, Dual-band 3G (900/2100) with 10Mbps HSDPA and 2Mbps HSUPA, Neat and well built, metal on the body, 2.2" 16M-color QVGA display, excellent sunlight legibility, Symbian OS, S60 3.2 user interface, ARM11 600 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, 3 megapixel fixed-focus camera with LED flash, VGA video recording at 15fps, GPS receiver and free lifetime voice-guided navigation license, Stereo FM radio with RDS, Visual radio, Bluetooth (with A2DP), Standard microUSB port (with charging support), microSD card slot (16 GB supported, 2GB included), Smart dialing, 3.5mm audio jack, Great audio quality, Document viewer preinstalled.

Main disadvantages are No WLAN, Small screen, No accelerometer (hence no auto screen rotation), Fiddly memory card slot, Document viewer doesn't support editing.

As much as it seems the Nokia C5 has no intention to be a rival of the 6700 slide, another low cost smartphone by Nokia. Now the absence of WLAN on the spec sheet can create a bad impression on the prospective buyers, it wasn’t there even in the case of Nokia 6700 slide, but still we hope that other more conspicuous features will cover its absence.
