During this afternoon’s virtual event, Nokia introduced 3 new messaging devices, two of which are members of the new C-series of handsets.
The Nokia C6 is a 3.2-inch touchscreen phone with a full qwerty slide-out keyboard and 3G/HDSP 7.2Mbps, WiFi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, 5MP AF camera, and GPS running Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 release 5. This one looks like a cross between the 5800XM and the E75.
The Nokia C3 is a full-qwerty phone with WiFi, Blueooth, 2 MP camera, FM stereo and GPS. This one is looking to be a cheaper version of the popular Nokia E63. The absence of 3G or even EDGE connectivity is intriguing though.
The Nokia E5 is another full-qwerty smartphone that could easily be an upgrade to the E72 model. It’s got 3G/HSDPA 10.2Mbps, WiFi 802.11 b/g. Bluetooth 2.0, a 5MP fixed-focus camera, stereo FM tuner, and GPS running Symbian OS v9.3, Series 60 release 3.2.
The C-series phones will be released this 2nd quarter while the E5 will come out in the 3rd quarter. The Nokia C6 will have a suggested retail price of $299 (Php13,500), the Nokia C3 will be about $122 (Php5,500) and the Nokia E5 is around $245 (Php11,00).

i thought nokia already put symbian into open source and focus on android OS?
kung series 40 yung C3…i’ll pass
Tingin niyo may impact ba sa bilis ng wifi internet kung S40 lang ang C3?
C3′s S40 may not be a hindrance since this OS’ performance is faster than S60 IIRC although adding apps & multitasking may be a problem.

are you sure that the c3 is only Php 5,500?
Got all the figures from the Nokia Press Kit.
i like e5,
i like e5
does the c3 comes in a blue color? i saw a picture of it having the back panel in blue color. That color is what really attracts me to it. thanks!
totoo ba ung price? baka kasi tumaas eh.
I’m thinking the C3 will be good for a SUN phone while the E5 would be great for my Smart. My main Globe sim will still stay with the E72. Or might just cave one day and get myself a blackberry! Gah!!!
@yuga Is that press kit the local one? Expecting it like the 1st release of Asus eee (est price was 13k but retailed around 18k~20k)
@IC DeaDPiPoL – it’s from global PR. Local PR only forwarded the invite for the virtual event.
I can’t wait for C3 to be sold here. My Samsung Star isn’t really useful, so.. Hoorah for the C3!!

@yuga: what do you think will be the price of the nokia c3? will it really cost 5,500 pesos? or more? pls. reply asap..Thanks!
maganda ung nokia c3 kumpara sa mga katumbas nito sa LG at Samsung…bawi ang nokia dito kasi sulit ang phone na ito sa presyo nito kesa sa mga katumbas niya na qwerty phones sa ibang brands.
Good job nokia!
Im rooting for the E5 and I hope it would release earlier than the target time. Nokia’s own version of blackberry. Love the specs!
