Reviewing Nokia C5-03

The Nokia C5-03 will be the successor towards the highly popular Nokia 5230 and is a mid-range smartphone. Physically the phone looks and feels very much like the 5230. It's slightly smaller and lighter, but retains a three.2 inch screen as well as three buttons below. The screen is exactly the same as within the 5230 and will be the same size as the similarly-priced HTC Wildfire. It is a great size for a phone of this price, although becoming resistive instead of capacitive it does take a bit of poking to create it respond occasionally.

Now the 5230 was released a whole year before the C5-03, so we had been anticipating some substantial improvements within the C5-03. But it appears that time is standing nonetheless at Nokia. There is small improvement, and some things have really gone backward. Most gobsmackingly awful is the reality that the C5-03 still uses Symbian Series 60. It's slow, it's unresponsive, it crashes if there is an "r" within the month or perhaps a "d" within the day and in mixture using the inexpensive and nasty resistive screen tends to make for an unpleasant user experience.

The camera has been upgraded to five megapixels, but there is still no flash or autofocus. While the aGPS with Ovi Maps goes some way to redeeming the telephone, the paltry 40MB of built-in memory and also the lack of even video calling tends to make it appear like Nokia are taking the micky with this telephone. They are even quoting an extraordinary battery standby of 25 days. Considering that it is powered by a less-than-impressive 1000 mAh battery, we believe it'll be more most likely to typical a couple of days within the real globe.

This really is not the worst telephone within the world, but it's very mundane. And whenever you consider that it's priced at about the £150 level (that is three times the cost from the nearly identical Nokia 5230) you'd be better off contemplating the HTC Wildfire or maybe even take a punt on the Samsung Wave with its Super AMOLED screen and HD video. Even the antiquated Nokia 5800 is really a much better buy.
