Due for release shortly, the Nokia C5 offers classic mobile phone styling, yet has a surprisingly extensive list of specifications. Whilst it may not feature a touch screen or QWERTY keyboard, it certainly gives many other handsets a run for their money in the versatility stakes.

The Nokia C5 measures 112x46x12.3mm and weighs in at just 89.3 grams. Its light weight and compact profile make it a comfortable phone to hold and use on the move. The 2.2 inch TFT screen can display up to 16M colours at a pixel resolution of 240x320. This makes for excellent display quality of the on screen content.

 

Users are alerted to incoming calls and text messages thanks to a combination of both vibration and ringing. MP3 music files can be assigned as ringtones,The Nokia C5 Offers An Excellent Array Of Features Articles allowing users to hear a music track of their choice whenever the phone rings. In order to speak handsfree, a speakerphone (with stereo speakers for excellent sound quality) is provided alongside a3.5mm audio jack. This can be used for handsfree headsets as well as for earphones for listening to music tracks via the media player.

 

To stay connected to cellular networks when out and about, the Nokia C5 utilises class 32 versions of both GPRS & EDGE. HSDPA provides a fast internet connect at speeds of up to 10.2 Mega bytes per second in areas covered by 3G. This works alongside HSUPA at speeds of up to 2 Mega bytes per second. Bluetooth and micro USB connection offer a means for the C5 to be connected to other compatible devices such as phones and computers in order to carry out tasks such as sharing music files or backing up contact information.

 

The internal phonebook in the Nokia C5 is capable of storing a vast amount of different contacts, and utilises the popular photocall feature. This allows a photo to be assigned to each contact, and this is then displayed on screen every time that person calls. 50 MB of internal storage along with 128 MB RAM is available as standard with the Nokia C5. Should further storage be required, perhaps for storing a digital music collection, the micro SD slot can be utilised. This has a pre-installed 2 GB memory card, but this can be swapped for an upgrade card of up to 16 GB.

 

The Nokia C5 features a built in 3.15 MP digital camera which features an LED flash so quality pictures can still be taking in low lighting conditions. It also features the ability to shoot video as an alternative method of image capture. It also doubles up as a videocall camera, whereby both parties in a phone call can view live video streaming of each other, provided they have a compatible handset.

 

A versatile media player, stereo FM radio player and a range of pre-installed and downloadable games add to the entertainment features of the C5. Social networkers are also catered for thanks to dedicated applications allowing direct access to sites such as Facebook and MySpace.

 

Whilst its styling may be unassuming, the Nokia C5 packs a powerful punch, and looks set to be a popular phone for this reason.
