The phone is dead!. Review on Nokia C5

*I have bought it for INR 7250 at Hot Spot 30 days ago.

This phone started creating problems as it hangs often . it is given to service centre(Nokia Care) but they were not able to fix the problem . it is being to Nokia to get problem fixed.

What do you think without a phone a person in top position can survive?!

Anything else required about this phone?!

My old review:

I had Sony Ericsson Naite which I bought for 6300 a couple of years ago. Since I have been using the internet for long time from home and wanted to upgrade to high speed 3G network I thought of upgrading to latest phone. I wanted a candy bar mobile easy to carry, less in weight, supporting high speed 3G with in built browser, email, bluetooth, Camera, more expandable external storage.

I decided to pick Nokia X3-02 or C5-00. Since X3-02 is running on proprietary OS I chose C5-00 symbian based as I could find lot of tools for this phone on internnet.

I bought Nokia C5-00 for 7250 in HotSpot chennai(It seems it is the lowest)

The box contains, mobile phone with 2GB External hot swappable micro SD card and with 60 MB memory, very compact, efficient and nicely designed charger, a very very short USB data cable which is no way useful! a very very average quality headset which nokia supplies with entry level models

Key pad, Navikeys and volume control(at right side) seems too smooth.

Display & sound is good.

Interesting option is standby menus displayed and the sleek browser, mail boxes, download FM radio settings, connect to various social networks(be cautious) .

I feel the interfaces are sometime too complex . ex. I need to exit from all the applicatiosn otherwise it is always open . this was not the case in my Sony Ericsson Naite

Though I have updated the software . it seems the phone flahses and settles down!

The phone is loaded Quifk Office and PDF reader(trial) . but with the available screen size reading is too difficult hence I am not using Quick Office.

In order to increase available memory nokia could provide option to remove unwanted applications factory installed
