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...

        Can we make SIP/VOIP call through Nokia C5. If it does not have built-in capability, can we install Nibuzz or Fringe and use this device to make VOIP calls. Thanks

              Got it 1 week ago. Handy and easy to hold set . Sound quality good but its loudness level over headset is slightly disappointing.excellent key pad.

                        nokia c5 is the best phone i ever had, although it doesnt have wlan, the camera quality paid off. Its video recording is great, clear videos. Flash player is great. It charges through usb. Internet is so fast and i can browse the web for free. Facebook app is perfect for easy uploading of multiple pics. Internal memory is 69 Mb not 50. Its so fast to charge the battery, yet its battery lasts me a week. I recommend this phone to everyone.

                          WTF are they complain about the video recording !!!
                          i think it's awesome for a phone,what do they expected the quality of camcorder :/

                          in conclusion i will say the the Nokia C5 is amazing for the money !
