Review of Nokia C5 GSM/UMTS

Saturday, June 12, 2010

Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia C5. Here is their final impression.

The ringtone volume is enough for the majority of situations, but its sound is not very clear. The same can be said about the performance of the speaker during the talk. There is a bit of vibration and the sound is not clear enough. I deliberately checked it with a number of phones on sale and in every case I had the same result. The quality of connection was normal, but the speaker spoils the picture. The same can be seen in Nokia 6730 Classic and Nokia 6700 Slide. It must be a sign of a low-end phone.

This model has typical features and capabilities. The absence of Wi-Fi can be a downside for those who use the appropriate features as you cannot stay online through GPRS without paying fortunes. Another drawback, apart from the already mentioned frame wear off, is unstable software. In particular, on the video you can see how the handset reloads when you enter the gallery and work with the camera (our sample was a fully functional commercial handset). The absence of the camera button does not irritate as much as this issue. I am sure that in subsequent firmware versions it will be addressed and the phone will be stable. I am also sure that the buyers of this model do not need the camera much.

The handset is priced at €135 and up. The price is high and the purchases will be either impulsive or its owners will have definite expectations as to the phone.

Surprisingly, I came to the same conclusions as in the case of Nokia 6700 Slide, which is another niche phone. I will repeat here that this model is interesting as a phone for calls. If your expectations are not too high, the handset will not disappoint you. It is a pleasant phone with expected flaws, but surprisingly without rivals. It is unrivaled, because in this price range similar phones are just not offered. The power of Nokia brand will do the trick and the model will have reasonable sales, at least in the beginning. Then its popularity will subside to a moderate level.
