Nokia C5-03 - user opinions and reviews

Shame on Nokia for manufacturing and selling this piece of junk! Be warned:
Powered by the pathetic Symbian - read reviews on Symbian and you'll know what I'm talking about.
The software is an absolute nightmare. In order to answer calls using the touchscreen, you first have to unlock the phone using a side button. Stupid when all you want to do is answer the bloody phone without any fuss! Use the traditional call button if you want to do this, but why have a touchscreen that flashes 'Answer' then?
Call records show details for only the last activity (missed/received/dialled) for any particular number. Therefore, if several calls are made to or from a particular number, you can only check details (time of call, for example) ONLY for the last call made, received or missed.
This 5 megapixel camera produces extremely poor quality images. My old Samsung mobile with a 3.5 megapixel camera took incomparably better pictures. Only goes to show that higher resolution is not equal to better pictures! Samsung are camera manufacturers and Nokia are not, a fact borne out by the quality of cameras in the phones from these two companies.
If you have just made a call to someone in your contact list and want to view their number WITHOUT returning to the contact list, you cannot. Normally, you would hit the call button to bring up the last number dialled. In the case of the C5-03, you only get to see the contact name and no other details. To view details, you will have to reopen the contact list and find the name of the person you called. Sheer idiocy! This phone lacks the basic features of entry level mobile phones (and I’m not even talking smart phones here).
You go through a lengthy process to turn off the snooze option and the alarm itself, not good on your nerves when you have just woken up.
The touch screen responsiveness is shockingly poor. Nokia uses a cheap screen.
The Ovi Suite (the Nokia software for your computer) takes ages to check for updates even with a fast Internet connection. Unsurprisingly then, updating the Ovi Suite AND the phone’s software takes an eternity thanks to the size of the downloads - not good news when Nokia sell widely in underdeveloped and developing countries. Surely they should know that power outages are frequent in these countries (and, in fact, occur several times a day). As power outages are impossible to predict, downloading large amounts of data can be a nightmare. In the event of downloads and installations being interrupted by power failures, there are endless complications with operating the phone.
Bottom line?
Avoid like the plague. This is undoubtedly the worst phone in its category.

Dude its the only one handset in nokia which have 1Ghz processor..so in future thier might be chance of upgrade to carla and donna os(carla and donna need 1Ghz pro as hardware requirement).so investing 1.5 k more not a big deal insted of buying nokia C5.
Think over it..choice is yours.
Thanks.

In my opinion, it's absolutely useless. Runs out of memory, the browser is rubbish, the interface is not user-friendly, no apps for symbian, and a long etc. I used to have a sonyericsson android and I'd choose it over nokia anytime. I'm changing to a samsung android asap - and I've only had the nokia for two months.
