Nokia intros C6, C3 and E5 Qwerty Phones

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 bought my c3 two months ago for 5900 dito sa cotabato. the only thing i don’t like about it is, the communities doesn’t work as expected. but otherwise it is a great fone. kahit hindi sya 3g at gprs lang, ang na observe ko is, mabilis pa rin internet ko kahit nasa bundok ako (doon kasi ako nagtuturo)as long as may signal ang smart kaya panay update ko status ko FB na ipinagtataka ng mga kaguro ko sa ibaba hehehe. mabilis mag load, around 5 secs at mas mabilis pa sa bayan kasi 3g ang signal doon. my conclusion: kahit gprs lang sya, basta malakas ang signal at mas lalo na 3g, hindi na gaanong kailangan na hsdpa o 3g fone mo. tama ba ako kuya Abe?

    i have been using the E5 for almost 2months now.. I’m loving it, though the battery drains faster than expected..(“longest battery life out there as the reviews said”) but nonetheless, it’s still an all in one kinda fone..^^

    Jesus christ! Ang tagal ng e5! So far eto palang yung non touch s60 that really packs a punch, imagine 600mhz processor + 256mb ram (nevermind the absence of 3D Hardware accelerator, I could bear it, I’m not onto 3D stuff din naman :D ), omfg, I wan’t eeeetttt!!! I can’t wait to land it on my hands! And I wish it’ll only cost not more than 13k php. *fingers crossed*

    I just bought a nokia c3 today at SM. P6,600.00 sya. Medyo cheap sya for me the fact na newly launched. The thing is the radio doesn’t work kahit anong gawin ko. So I need to take it to the shop where I bought it

  18. Avatar for Karen Karen says:

    Hi! How much does C3 costs today? Does it lowered its price since its first released or its price is still the same? I want to buy one. The pink one is really cute!
