We all knew it was coming. It was just a question of when the launch would happen - and it turned out to be March 2, 2010. Nokia has finally announced the launch of a new series with the launch of the C5, its latest S60 based smartphone that focuses on social networking.

We had earlier seen leaked images of the C5 and already know what the phone looks like. Nevertheless, lets go thorough the official specs this time round. The C5 measures 12.3mm x 46mm x 112mm (0.48in x 1.81in x 4.4in) which makes it quite compact. The front side is dominated by a 2.2-inch 320 x 240 pixel display capable of displaying 16 million colors. The C5 has a fairly powerful 1050Mah battery that should be able to power this phone for a very long time. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, memory expansion and full support for Ovi Mail, Nokia Messaging and Ovi Maps. With microSD card support, you can expand the memory upto 8GB. The phone comes with a 2GB card.



Music connoisseurs can rejoice - thanks to the 3.5mm headphone jack the phone comes with. As mentioned earlier, the phone is fully social networking ready - right out of the box. It comes with Facebook and MySpace widgets right on the homescreen.

The C5 has been priced at $182 (Rs. 8,400) in the European markets and will soon be made available in India as well.

"..... .....in the European markets and will soon be made available in India as well." Come on Techtree, pls give me a break..... the X6 was launched in Europe months ago & is still to find it's way to India..... And you give us hopes about other models coming here...... I guess Nokia is gonna lose a loyal customer soon..... Me..... I am tired of waiting for the X6..... :(

Nihal, unlike the X6, the C5 is a handset targeted at the emerging markets. Besides, Nokia has in the past asserted that most of its handsets will see a simultaneous launch in India. Although to what extent Nokia follows that is questionable.
