Nokia 603 starts shipping, packs a 1000 nit screen on the cheap

21 October, 2011
Flaunting most of the same features as the 701, the Nokia 603 offers Belle, NFC and 1GHz CPU on a budget.

        It sounds so wrong to say 1GHz when its ARM11. Ignorant readers dont know that a 500MHz Cortex A8 is faster than this. Ans in the specs it doesnt clearly say its Arm11, shud be corrected, its confusing info.

          bongbong, 21 Oct 2011try something new. hehehehe"try something new. hehehehe"

          Compared to what? Android? At least Symbian is really evolving. Faster than Android, more features, 50 000 apps.

          Maybe you should really try something new instead of Google/Apple spyware.

                GSMArena should make an DIY article on, 'How to Make micro sim out of regular sim card.'

                      no matter, 21 Oct 2011Nokia is not buying me with this no future symbian and chea... moreHeh, if you are buying an Android from the same price range as 603, I think you are up for a lesson.

                      Good luck with your choice :)

                        Price is so good for this specs. Don't compare this phone with €500 Android phones. Everbody doesn't have enough salary to give a phone €500.

                          Before I decided to switch to Android, but now with Nokia's Belle and these well made smartphones I would prefer to join Nokia again.

                              At 210 EUR you can get motorola RAZAR - much better specs.
                              cant see the logic in buying this one.

                                Using a Nokia makes me feel good because of the stability of nokia phones. They are the toughest phones ever and i love symbian since its a best most secured OS free from virus and malware and most importantly offers best battery backup which is more than essential for business use. I use Pushmail, maps and web surfing in my nokia smartphone and its the best. Will purchase Symbian belle Phone 701. Anyways nokia will continue symbian till 2016.

                                    Great for a budget smartphone, but I'm sold to the 701 instead of this. The matte black chassis of the 701 feels more solid. Not to say that the 603 isn't durable, since it's from Nokia.

                                        Nokia is not buying me with this no future symbian and cheap plastic toy. This time I'll get android. And for the future maybe I'll come back to nokia, if WP7 will work to something decent.
