However this could not be further from the truth,The Nokia C5 Is A Versatile Smartphone Articles as it includes features such as a 3.2 mega pixel digital camera with LED flash, access to the Ovi Store and free turn-by-turn navigation from Ovi Maps.

The Nokia C5 is relatively compact measuring 112x 46x 12.3 mm whilst it is lightweight, weighing in at just 89.3 g.  The TFT screen measures 2.2 inches and is capable of displaying up to 16M colours within the confines of its 240x 320 pixel layout.

In order to alert users to incoming calls and messages, vibration works in conjunction with ringing and users have the option to assign MP3 music files as ringtones, allowing them to customise the sound of the phone.  In order to carry out handsfree communication, a speakerphone with stereo speakers is included as well as a 3.5 mm audio Jack.  The latter accommodates both handsfree headsets as well as earphones for listening to music.

Along with its modest standard internal storage, the Nokia C5 also includes a microSD card slot which can accommodate a memory card of up to 16 GB.  This is sure to cater to the needs of most users, and it has a 2 GB card already installed which in itself is capable of storing a large amount of files.
