Nokia C5: Smartphone for the Masses?

sweet! i’ll probably get one myself… the telcos will surely give it as free phones with their plans!

awww :( its lacking something… the wifi.

Was thinking it was still pricy till I’ve noticed its also a pocket GPS which makes it quite handy.

Wow, impressive. Only if it weren’t running Symbian. Those who have used S60 and other Symbian-based phones know that they tend to slow down really after a while.

Too bad there’s no Wifi, however, with most telcos offering unlimited browsing, it may not be that bad. You’d have to spend a few extra bucks every now and then if you want to surf or maybe signup for an unlimited data plan.

No wifi is like a pebble on your shoe, it might be a small thing to some but its really bothers you but for 8.5 k it might be a a good deal… not for my wishlist…

of course you can never have it all.. specially to on the price. :) I guess this is something to introduce people to smart phone and allow them to learn that a smart phone is not that totally different from a regular Nokia phone. Then eventually they will buy that fully featured smart phones.

no wifi

Cseries for Core series. the mid-specs phone of Nokia. Probably there will be an enable wifi cseries this year when Nokia Event kicks off.

this is a looker! one question though, with the acceptance of dual-active sims, why won’t nokia bring it to their phones? A good number of professionals who switched networks or numbers would atleast want the old number active while being able to attend to both everyday! Why not, Nokia?

wow, smartphone for the masses. just as when all the world is turning to pda phones.

I guess Yugatech readers are not the market. This is an upgrade to the 6120c (already on S60) and the other Series 40 phones. I for one still prefer candybars.

GO BACK TO CHINA PHONE

@whoa
They’re probably banking on SOMEONE ELSE’s connection (free Wifi) rather than pay for it even if it’s that cheap.

what’s so smart about this C-series? I mean, what features do a smartphone should have? no wifi? i guess this ain’t smart after all ;)

Eh anu if ala wifi? Free browse tayo.

Okay na sana, kaya lang ang iksi ng battery life.

Actually the 8.5K is already a value for money for that phone, the thing is there is also a cheaper phone like Nokia 5230 which looks better than this C5 smartphone.

i need to know stores with this phone and price near the price above.

Hope you could review this phone. This is a promising “bestseller”, just like N6300 years ago.

will the frequent use of this phone as modem damage it?

dude??? here in Philippines, no wifi doesn’t matter at all. wanna know why??? ‘coz when you’re using Globe Sim and when you know free internet tricks, then this 3.5G that this phone has, 8K won’t be a waste !! i’m using Nokia C5 ryt now. COOL !! free browsing and free streaming flash videos..
