The Nokia C5 has popped up on general release in the UK today – a handset which is aimed squarely at the classic entry-level market, but which manages to look like a smart business phone.
Specs-wise the C5 isn’t dazzling – it has a 2.2” screen, 3 megapixel camera, 2GB memory (supporting expansion up to 16GB via SDCard), but the C5 runs on the Symbian operating system and is connected to an host of Nokia’s free services such as Ovi Maps and Ovi Messaging, which make navigation and nattering a doddle. The C5 is also easy to sync up to email too, and although there is no WiFi compatability, it can surf on the 3G network, so it’s all set for essential browsing.
So, ok the its hardly going to give iPhone contracts a run for their money, but the C5 is an affordable and not unattractive basic handset and overall it definitely has some svelte charm.
The C5 is available free on contracts as little as £10 per month on a 2 year contract, while £20 per month will get you around 600 minutes and 500 texts over the two-year period same period.
