GLOBAL – Today sees the unveiling of both a new device, the Nokia C5, and a new naming convention, Nokia Cseries (more on that later). The C5 is a smartphone packed into a feature phone body, boasting S60 3rd edition and a host of messaging and social networking features built in. It also boasts a bright 2.2-inch display and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It also comes packing free walk and drive navigation courtesy of Ovi Maps and is ready for messaging with Nokia Messaging built in.
The Nokia C5 boasts a cool new feature in its phone book, where you can see your friends status updates directly from Facebook. You can also update your Facebook status easily and share your location with Ovi Maps 3.0.
The homescreen will show off your favourite three friends for easy access to calling and messaging whilst Nokia Messaging enables you to keep in touch on IM using Google Talk or Windows Live Messenger.
Storage is the mircoSD variety with support for up to 16GB cards – the Nokia C5 will come with a 2GB card in the box, plenty of room for storing music and with the built in stereo FM radio and 3.5mm AV connector, not to mention the Stereo IHF speaker, it should sound good too.
The device is small too, measuring just over 12mm thin and 46mm across (and 112mm high). Battery life is good for up to 12 hours talktime (GSM) and it’ll stay on standby for a whopping 26 days between charges.
Available in white and warm grey, the Nokia C5 will be available in the second quarter of 2010 globally in Europe, Eurasia, SEAP, China and MEA. The anticipated retail price, before applicable taxes and subsidies is €135. It looks rather nice too. Let us know what you think below.

Nothing exciting here then and is that really a smartphone? I don't think it is

I think you miss the point. Its Nokia going back to more basic more affordable smartphones. Like they do with music series touch screen phones except its for people who prefer buttons.

3.2 mp with led flash?where do they live,in 2000??

No duh! Ofcourse its nothing new, simply a new addition to the 6120c,6720c etc...affordable smartphone family.
Nothing more nothing less.
Symbian S60v3 is very mature, i assume the C5 is using the 600mHz CPU with HSDPA 10.2mbps /HSUPA 3.6mbps ,also found in E55,E72 an 5630xm, so speed shouldnt be an issue.
No tricks here,its exactly what Bono said.

+1, unfortunetly some have a hard time understanding this.

ok,sorry for being a camera buff..dont shoot...
Posted by Bonovox
Kind of aimed at business types who don't use cameras much. If you look at the E range and also the Blackberry phones them types of phones are not about mega pixels
