while for the advanced user.. they will go for C5 , as.. it is a smartphone..

C5 is just younger brother of 6220c [because it downgrade LOL]

for me... phone is enough..for browsing...

so.. this phone is good.. downside is no wifi

but gps....do u use it? wow so useful to find good food man

as i said.. this phone could be perfect [for budget around RM 600] .. if it has WiFi ..

another challenger of Nokia C5 is SE Elm ..

SE Elm has Wifi , 5mp camera , GPS ...

yes.. for me C5 is better as it is a smartphone... but no wifi really a big disadvantages..[nowadays.. smartphone need this]

which group of people that dont use wifi?
i guess it would be aunties and uncle.
and i dont think this people want a fancy phone.

yalo..nowadays ppl are looking for wifi adi..very seldom ppl dunwan wifi.
mayb Nokia is trying to launch tis phone to test the market only

at least i dun use Wifi......hehehe

i just my lappy to surf that with me anytime....my hand and eye just cant take such small miniature feeling yet....

but do u bring along ur lappy all the time?? handphone do it..haha

I personally think that wifi is one of the most important features for phone, it could save your $$$$ by not using telco wap.

Actually Nokia have cheaper gps phone than this model

Clareen is that any cheaper GPS phone available for Nokia? Thinking to buy one for my mum

Nokia 2710.

I just checked internet, it dont support symbian s60, how can I install Garmin? Or just can use Ovi map?

good for those with unlimited data plan ...or secondary phone...nice for texting too..

Suitable for using as extra phone. Those who want to make calls on the spot.

make call on the spot? every also able to make call on the spot.

Maybe he means no need to touch screen for a call due to this is a keypad phone

Very interested with this nokia C5. Can anybody show me some sample pictures taken from nokia C5?? Thank you....

try look for some in GSM Arena....

i rather get 5630

At least it got wifi, agree with you

Bought this phone at the price RM530. Come with 2GB. Can i put 8GB into this phone?? Will it be lag??

E52 also can

Bought this phone last weekend as 2nd phone acompany with my 5800.
Wifi is not neccesary la. As I don't even use my 5800's wifi.
This phone is small, easy to carry, feature packed- unlimited phonebook,GPS, HSDPA & most important - CHEAP.

BTW, have any C5 owner cracked the Firmware?

I have updated the C5 firmware to the latest one but it still crashes

hi , anyone noe screen capture software that can use for nokia c5 ?
and how do i enable 3g ?
thx

You can enable 3g located at phone setting > connectivity > network > select UTMS.
UTMS stand for 3g and gsm stand for 2g or you can select dual mode.
You can go for ovi store to download ScreenSnap for capture screen of your handset.

i just bought this phone. sleek, looks elegant..the keypad is soft, really good for typing sms.
to C5 owners here, have u notice that the ringing sound is a bit soft? seriously, i can barely hear the ringing sound..i tried using this phone as alarm, but didnt wakeup coz didnt hear the alarm tone..

This post has been edited by barjoyai: Sep 15 2010, 01:16 AM

soft keypad? Nokia going back to using soft materials for keypad a? Lol..

yeah, it's kind of rubbery..i think cannot tahan for a long time but good thing is it's very comfortable for typing.

did u guys notice there's a mail icon blinking at up right corner there ? how could i make it away?
thx

The mail icon blinking indicate your sim message is full.
Go to message and select option, sim message and delete the sim message

If the keypad soft I think type message sure more comfy than typing on hard keypads or touchscreens... miss my 3310 typing speed xD

Already bought this phone last weeks.
Dont give any problems at all.

BTW, this phone not using soft material for keypad, just it feels soft when typing sms.
Just like 3310. I think that what barjoyai mean.

Seriously, really like using this phone.
Especially for the GPS, i mean, OVI Maps. Just like garmin.
And, free in charge.

yeah 3310 keypad is soft material lor.. Hard materials range from steel to plastics

But this phone's keypad is made from plastic.
Just like 3310. Just feel soft when typing sms.

just say soft laa...it's rubbery a bit rite?

Hehe. Ok2. Eh, not at all. Seriously like 3310's keypad.

haha..whatever the material it is, let's hope it can last long!

hey guys wanna ask, does the ovi map require internet connection or like nokia 5800, it is offline?

I think it has a gps chipset, which means free

hi...

does the gps incur any charges like connection charges when u use it?..

or it function without connecting to the internet?.

thank you for your attention.

there is no charges when using gps.the gps will be used when u launch ovi maps.there is a setting for gps data n ovi maps where internet can be used to faster lock ur position.but this feature can be turned off.

yeah, no charge needed. can be used offline. but if u want to install garmin, better not. coz ovi maps is also like garmin and already up-to-date.

thanx mate!!!! reli appreciate the advise..now i understand wat's this gps thingy.

lost this phone, so sad..

Maybe you can consder buy a new one

600Mhz processor phone, higher than the Nokia 5800 I am using which only have a processor speed of 434 Mhz.

My Nokia 5800 does not hanged even or take longer time to seek file (I have very few files).

This phone is suitable for those older generation of people who does not like the touchscreen.

They are not interested in wifi, but some of them would be interested in using the free ovi map.

lol. what an advice. hahah

Added on November 10, 2010, 7:15 amFirst, whether you have data charge or not depends on whether you turn on AGPS giving a faster locktime of less than 10secs but it incur only a small amount of data cost. Without turning on AGPS, locking time might probably be within 5 to 10 mins.

The map on Garmin is a lot better. Garmin map is up-to-date as compared to OVI Maps which isn't as up-to-date as OVI Maps. Both can work without AGPS.

This post has been edited by hengguowei: Nov 10 2010, 07:15 AM

From what I heard, garmin laggy. Ovi maps is better for navigation?

from what i experience on X6, yes, the garmin laggy compare with Ovi map

Maybe the 600Mhz processor here makes a difference. BTW, whr is the thread for C5 full touch(C5-03?)?

C5-03 have not come out yet. If there is not thread then you can start it lo...

I don't want to have the responsibility of being a TS...I have tons of other things to attend to

Oh ok. Then, continue to wait lo....

You want to get a Nokia C5-03?

It would be really dumb to move from a higher end S60v5 device to a lower end S60v5 device
I m kinda interested in it...cause I believe the price will be competitive

looks nice. friendly to parents?

I tot you might want to buy it for your family members.

Anyway, How long would it take for GPS signal in Nokia C5 to lock at the position?

Yeah...I think the keypad would be comfy for them, and the screen won't be too small either

Based on your location and the weather.

If i am in cameron highlands the GPS signal would take longer?

I dunno. But in my area, without AGPS, sometimes lock time might take from 5minutes to about 15mins

Where?
