Nokia Philippines formally announced the availability of the Nokia C5 in the country. This candybar handset from Nokia is powered by Symbian S60 and a capable ARM 11 600MHz processor.

As I mentioned in a previous entry, the Nokia C5 might be positioned as an entry-level smartphone but the lack of WiFi connectivity seemed puzzling. Suggested retail price of the Nokia C5 is Php8,450USD 144INR 12,207EUR 137CNY 1,049 and is available in white and grey.

  1. Good point there, @abeolandres! The Nokia C5 might be one of the best entry-level Smartphones that are under the 10k price. It needs a WiFi.

  2. sayang walang wifi….

  3. @abeolandres I can’t help but associate the phone with C5 road. I think this a good phone. No wifi though.

  4. sir yuga kelan kaya labas ng nokia c6? Want that phone eh!

    • @mykee – available na rin sya for around Php15k.

  5. nice phone!

  6. meh

  7. What about the C2? I’ve been waiting. :p

  8. With a small screen size in this entry-level smartphone, I personally think there’s no need for Wifi, otherwise the price will just get higher.

  9. its a good phone with a good price. =)

  10. waiting for c2 also…
    kelan kaya?

  11. Tagal na nito ah?

    • @cindy – gray market yung earlier units. This is the official one.

  12. nice design… and it has all the features i need, specially 3G/HSDPA. wi-fi isn’t a deal-breaker for me. it’ll just eat up precious battery life. and if i browse/surf with it, my eyes would probably fall off from too much squinting. i’d rather use it as a modem for my netbook/laptop. but that’s just me. ;-)

  13. I like the style of this phone. I just hope that the next entry level will have a wifi capability.

  14. hmm..looks cheap to me.i want nokia n8

  15. sana may wee pee (wifi) lol

  16. It killed not all but most of my n86 features, except for wifi

  17. why the need for wi-fi on this phone? i wonder people do not comment that the screen is too small and it does not have touchscreen.. or android os!

    geez! what do u expect from an entry-level “phone”?

  18. @manong: considering the price of the samsung i5500, which has a larger screen, runs android 2.1 and has wifi, is estimated to be around 9K, this “entry-level” phone is really pretty expensive.

  19. Put this in the C3’s body in addition to its features and the upgrade makes more sense. The C3 has WiFi but no 3g and you’d think an upgrade to that will have both but NO. Nokia makes choosing between their phones a chore.

  20. parang gusto ko nito ah.. ayaw ko na ng e72 ko na qwerty. gusto ko mabilisan ang txt

  21. i bought one yesterday,babalik ako mamaya sa Nokia may factory efect ayaw na magOn.. full charged naman.. haizzz tas nagbiblink blink pa…

  22. *defect

  23. choosing between Nokia C3 and Nokia C5, i’d rather choose Nokia C5.. More features. Handy. Here in Cagayan de oro, i’ve experienced great Internet browsing with the 3G. I’m using GLOBE SIM. REALLY COOL !! IT’S ALL FREE.

  24. i like this phone,, so easy,,,

  25. I have been seeking this info for a long time. Almost 2 hours of online finding, fortunately I saw it in your website. I wonder why Alexa never show this sort of useful websites in the top of the list. Generally the top search engine results are full of garbages. Maybe it is time to change to other search engine.

  26. c5 is a good phone, nice and functionable, had it since september last year, a few months after its released in the market,. Very fast internet connection,., also the 3G..over a year now and still go0d as new, even the battery.. But if i would have a touch screen phone, C7 is the best..,

  27. Dogbitemuh,
    It does not matter what we really think how world population should be controlled. It will be controlled in Nature’s own way, should we ourselves decide, moraly, or for religious reasons, we don’t want to have any part in attempting to organise such a thing ourselves.
    By nature’s own way, I include the inevitable; war, plague, dramatic food and water shortage, and a number of other reasons such as energy depleaton, global warming, shortage of arable land and living space generally, all being caused by population explosion on a finite Earth.
    The site: Foundation.bw and http has a lot written about the subject. One Heading is
    On War and Peace Another The Party’s Over’
    There are several headings dealing with Population Growth .
    These a big issues, all of them, and we humans seem to have so many other less important issues on our minds just now.
    Perhaps it is all just the way the Earth is, and we can’t blame ourselves too much about that, or our inborn avarise and greed ?

  28. This is like my third time visiting your homepage. Regularly I do not make comments on website, but I have to mention that this post really pushed me to do so. Really fantastic post .

  29. Interesting point. Look forward to future info.

  30. Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of Nokia C5 officially released in the Philippines | YugaTech | Philippines, Tech Reviews Blog . Thanks for the post. I’ll certainly return.

  31. Sa sobrang stealth nung pag launch ng c5 5mp (256 mb ram, 512mb rom, 600mhz), kahit si yuga di na feature iyon. Getting it despite being ancient. It will be the last of its breed of keypad phones.
