Nokia Philippines formally announced the availability of the Nokia C5 in the country. This candybar handset from Nokia is powered by Symbian S60 and a capable ARM 11 600MHz processor.
Nokia C5 specs:
2.2″ display @ 240×320 pixels
ARM 11 600MHz processor
HSDPA 10.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps
50MB storage, 128MB RAM
up to 16GB via microSD (2GB included)
3.15MP camera w/ LED flash
Bluetooth 2.0 w/A2DP
FM Radio with RDS
GPS with a-GPS
Symbian OS v9.3, Series 60 rel. 3.2
As I mentioned in a previous entry, the Nokia C5 might be positioned as an entry-level smartphone but the lack of WiFi connectivity seemed puzzling. Suggested retail price of the Nokia C5 is Php8,450 and is available in white and grey.
parang gusto ko nito ah.. ayaw ko na ng e72 ko na qwerty. gusto ko mabilisan ang txt
Put this in the C3’s body in addition to its features and the upgrade makes more sense. The C3 has WiFi but no 3g and you’d think an upgrade to that will have both but NO. Nokia makes choosing between their phones a chore.
@manong: considering the price of the samsung i5500, which has a larger screen, runs android 2.1 and has wifi, is estimated to be around 9K, this “entry-level” phone is really pretty expensive.
why the need for wi-fi on this phone? i wonder people do not comment that the screen is too small and it does not have touchscreen.. or android os!
geez! what do u expect from an entry-level “phone”?
It killed not all but most of my n86 features, except for wifi
sana may wee pee (wifi) lol
hmm..looks cheap to me.i want nokia n8
I like the style of this phone. I just hope that the next entry level will have a wifi capability.
nice design… and it has all the features i need, specially 3G/HSDPA. wi-fi isn’t a deal-breaker for me. it’ll just eat up precious battery life. and if i browse/surf with it, my eyes would probably fall off from too much squinting. i’d rather use it as a modem for my netbook/laptop. but that’s just me. ;-)
Tagal na nito ah?
@cindy – gray market yung earlier units. This is the official one.
waiting for c2 also…
kelan kaya?
its a good phone with a good price. =)
With a small screen size in this entry-level smartphone, I personally think there’s no need for Wifi, otherwise the price will just get higher.
What about the C2? I’ve been waiting. :p
meh
nice phone!
sir yuga kelan kaya labas ng nokia c6? Want that phone eh!
@mykee – available na rin sya for around Php15k.
@abeolandres I can’t help but associate the phone with C5 road. I think this a good phone. No wifi though.
sayang walang wifi….
Good point there, @abeolandres! The Nokia C5 might be one of the best entry-level Smartphones that are under the 10k price. It needs a WiFi.
