The Nokia C5 is in the House

The Nokia C5 just dropped by ZCJ HQ yesterday. We're not entirely sure what to do with this thing. It's a bit...uhh.... boring compared to the devices we've...

Nokia C5 images leaked

Nokia may well be planning to spill out a new series of phones, these will be called the C-series. Though the images that we have here are leaked, there's every chance that they are valid pieces of evidence. The features seem to be even more realistic,...

Review: Nokia C5-03: Part 2, Using the handset

Following on from our favourable look at the Nokia C5-03's hardware, it's time to take the latest budget touchscreen and see how well it works as a smartphone. It's running Symbian^1, with the standard software load, but some love and attention on the...

Let's deal with the elephant in the room first of all, and the use of Symbian^1 (the Operating System formerly known as S60 5th Edition). There is a perfectly logical reason to use the 'one step previous' OS and it is this – it's cheaper.

Review: Nokia C5-03: Part 1, Hardware

Nokia's latest handset in the lower ends of the market, the C5-03, comes with smart styling, lots of plastic and a price tag to match. Running Symbian^1 (the OS formerly known as S60 5th Edition), it appears to be Nokia's entry level touchscreen device...

Nokia C5 review: Build and screen

The Nokia C5 is the first of the Finn's new C Series devices to hit the market. Nokia classes the C Series as its ‘voice-centric' device, so it's designed with the chattering classes rather than message-heavy users in mind. However, you'll find a host...

The design and feel is great and the battery life just keeps on giving

No Wi-Fi and firing out emails can be a little slow due to the keypad

Slim and sleek, you'll love the design but this is very much a mobile phone first, smartphone second device

Nokia C5 Review

If you're after a phone for calls and messaging without compromising on looks, then the Nokia C5 could be just the job.

Classy looks, easy to use, with handy mapping extras.

There are limited features to play with.

For all its smartphone prowess, Nokia still excels at basic phones with a classic appearance and simple handling. The Nokia C5 does have a few extras, such as GPS, but it’s the easy operation and familiar, smart appearance that will appeal to most.

I have allways loved Nokia phones, have owned loads over the years, but I have to say this one disapoints. Firstly the response time is quite slow, battery life is poor, so much so it needs charging more frequently then my other Nolkia. the manuel is...
