Nokia Introduces New Touchscreen Phone C5-03

Worlds leading Mobile Handset giant Nokia today introduced new version of Nokia C5 dubbed as C5-03 an inexpensive touchscreen phone with a couple of neat features.

The New Nokia C5-03 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. It 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.

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 C5-003 has a 5-megapixel camera with 4X digital zoom.

It measures 105.8 mm x 51.0 mm x 13.8 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 93g. It 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 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.

The new Nokia C5-03 will be available globally at the end of this quarter and expected to retail at around €170 (approx Rs.10,200) before taxes or operator subsidies.

    Anybody has any idea when this will hit the shops? However, 10,200 is way too high a price for the specifications and outdated Symbian^1 it has.

    yah…i agree with you. In term of features “APPLE LG MOTO SAMSUNG SONY etc” have more advance features. But according to my knowledge in terms of durability nokia is unbeatable. 2 year ago i change my handset almost 3 months interval. But now I dont want to change my handset regularly for saving money. Actually you guys are right in your point. I will love to experience with another brands in future. But plz dont say that you dont “trust” nokia as nokia voted most trusted brand in india among all electronics brands.

    Every consumer has its different taste & preferences, likings & dislikings. So no body shud raise its fingure on anybodies choice. Even Samsung, Sony Ericson, Apple, Blackberry.. Phns are sold . How many of these companies r chinese ? If a consumer is not using Nokia that doesn’t means he is using a chinese phn. And Every company is incomplete widout china. Even the Nokia battery. This is why different companies r here. So a user can buy a tomato and a another person can buy potato. It’s upto consumer.

    if you don’t trust nokia…i think,you can only trust banned chinese mobile.

    Are yaar kisi ko Nokia nahin pasand hai, samsung pasand hai, Isme kya buraai hai? Jise jo pasand hai lene do. Sirf apni choice batao. Offencive kyon ho jate ho?

    Very very good looking. Kal main Nokia ke site par C5 dekh raha tha, phone mujhe pasand aa gaya. Ye C5-03 to aur bhi acchha hai. I will try to buy it as soon as possible it comes. Please confirm, front camera hai ki nahin.

    looks like you are Chinese handset dealer…
    or some mindless kid trying to take on biggies….
    to be true ,people who look at ads like “no kia”(u know what i mean) simply don’t have enough knowledge of mobiles, they look for only specs,not brand nor value…..

    Yup Nokia is still among d most trusted brands around…I used Nokia den a motorola den a samsung…bt came back again 2 a Nokia..u juz cnt resist its quality….

    nokia is the most trusted brand and i prefer only nokia instead of samsung or any other brand but i want nokia with android platform, coz symbian sucks in its operating speed.

    Insufficient specs. mentioned. Not even mentioned if screen is still resistive or if the cam has auto focus. Recently Nokia have come out with 5 MP cams on recent releases, but without AF. Whats the use? And at 13.8 mm, its still thick.

    I need Android device. Not a slow symbian series. Huawei Ideos is a better deal. I too don’t trust nokia. Every hi-fi device becomes too slow after 7-12months.
