Nokia C5-03: a low cost model that can surprise

While the Nokia N8 is not being as well received as many expected, receiving a mixture of criticism and praise, the line of Nokia also continues to be updated with models of low and medium cost, the region's market where Symbian remains quite strong.

The newest addition is the Nokia C5-03, a low-cost model that provides a resistive screen nHD (consecrated 640x360) 3.2 ", measuring 10.6x5.1x1.4 cm and weighing just 93 grams, which puts him in same category as lightweight as the old Nokia 5230c. It includes a balanced set of features, with Wi-Fi, HSDPA (3.5G), Bluetooth and GPS, 5 MP camera:

It runs good old Symbian 5ed that with the launch of new Symbian ^ 3 has been renamed to "Symbian ^ 1", maintaining the hierarchy. The interface has received some tweaks like the ability to add contacts directly on the home screen, better integration with social networks and the OVI Store and so on.

Nokia has been doing a good job keeping the Symbian attractive in the market for low and medium cost, positioning it as a system that "just works", providing a stable and predictable environment (albeit with far fewer applications and an interface with more archaic) for those who prefer to escape the anarchy of Android.

One point on which the system is received improvements in power management, which increased the specifications of autonomy for up to 25 days of standby, 11.5 hours of talk time or 35 hours of music, which should provide three to seven days of autonomy for most people, an item in which he positions himself better than most models with Android, which need to be loaded every one or two days.

It is being launched in Europe for 170 Euros (the standard price for new releases from Nokia in the table), but the price should drop soon with the launch of Nokia C6-01 and other models based on Symbian ^ 3, which brings us hopes he'll get for less than $ 500 in Brazil.
