And when we thought Nokia’s all out with their new Symbian^3 OS, they’ll surprise us with this Nokia C5-03 running on Symbian^1 with a resistive touch screen.
The Nokia C5-03 looks like a cross between the Nokia 5800 XM and the Nokia C6-01, only a cheaper and dumbed-down version.
Nokia C5-03 specs:
3.2″ resistive screen @ 360×640 pixels
ARM 11 600MHz processor
40MB storage
128MB RAM
HSDPA 10.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps
Bluetooth 2.0
WiFi 802.11 b/g
5MP camera
FM Radio tuner
GPS w/ aGPS support
Li-Ion 1000mAh battery
Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5
We know Nokia tried to make all possible types of phone for all kinds of people but a Symbian^1 resistive touchscreen phone does not seem to fit the picture. At 270 euros (~Php10,300) before taxes, maybe it’s just price positioning or addressing the continuous demand for their old but still popular 5800XM.
This problem with resistive touch screens is simple – They break easier and should not be used on a hand held device (like a smart phone). Not to mention there are cool things like texting gloves now that easily solve previous problems with capacitive touchscreens.
Is c5-03 available in the philippines? specifically in cebu? tnx..
The “problem” with resistive touchscreens vis a vis with capacitive touchscreens are anything a much more subjective matter than it is objective which means it’s quite that pointless in the very end.

In newer tech. screen displays as AMOLED of the sort resistive touchscreens are not a feasible option.
