Nokia C5 review: Smart and trusty

12 May 2010
If you are on the hunt for a stylish smartphone but you run a tight budget, chances are the Nokia C5 is on your radar already. The compact Symbian-running handset looks well, costs little and can give you all the smart you need in a phone...

          "The Nokia C5 is powered by a 600MHz CPU, which might sound inadequate in the world of Snapdragons"
          what are you talking about?!
          600 MHz ARM 11 is so powerful
          even Nokia N8 has 680 MHz CPU

              Awesome phone. I've been using the Nokia C5 for 10 months now and It's very good. Very reliable and has quite alot of features for the low price. I have dropped it about a dozen times or so and still have not experienced any problems. The camera is not as bad as some people say and the small buttons may take some getting used to for those with abnormally large fingers. I highly recommended this phone to anyone.

              Regards from Namibia

                      I'm using c5 frm past 5months. Its awesome comparing with other models.
                      Price also reasonable.
                      Major advantages:
                      *we can attach files to our mail
                      *battery back up is damn good
                      *3G net speed is very high
                      *camera clarity
                      *in built applications are best
                      disadvantages:
                      *we can't off camera capture sound
                      *a little bit smal screen

                                      It is an utter flop model from Nokia ... it hangs quite often! My C5 was sent back to Nokia to get it fixed!!
