Last October, Nokia launched another core series phones that are centered to cater those who are budget-minded gals and guys yet without compromising the classic and exquisite design of a phone. It’s the C5-03 that was added on the brotherhood of the C. A smartphone that runs on the famous Symbian platform, specifically the S60v5 or the Symbian^1 and it’s a resistive touch phone. Although it’s quite awkward to see a Symbian^1 released on near 2011, still its price is very reasonable for masses.

Would you?

Maybe that’s the biggest question if it happened on the past that the Nokia N97 had had an OS based on a Symbian^3 platform. Not only an OS that runs on ^3 but this requires a 680MHz cpu, larger RAM for better managing, a good 2D/3D graphics support and a wooping capacitive screen for multitouch support. Imagine all of these things you injected on the N97 from the past, it may sound weird but if that happened, would it be the turning point for what do people look at Symbian now?

Last Thursday, Nokia delivered the first batch of Nokia C6-01, a non-QWERTY keyboard smartphone running on Symbian^3 OS, on many stores worldwide making it the 3rd S^3 device to hit the market. It’s also the most affordable device on the latest Symbian^3 operating system. The general features include and 8 MP camera and capable of HD video recording, a 3.2″ AMOLED capacitive screen on CBD, Wi-Fi and 3G, and a lot more of free services like Ovi Maps.

Nokia 5250 is an affordable full touch smartphone that Nokia announced last month. Running on the Symbian^1 OS and featuring a 2.8″ resistive touch screen and 2 MP camera. It also offers GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as Bluetooth connectivity, but it doesn’t have support for 3G and WLAN. Sad but it’s a sacrfice for its price point.

The two devices joining the new lineup of Symbian^3 smartphone devices are the Nokia C7 and the Nokia C6-01. Both are centred for lifestyle use which delivers great solutions in social, multimedia and connectivity. The C6-01 might be familiar to you whilst the C7 is the first version of C7 series.
