Nokia unveiled three of new additions to their portfolio of Symbian-running handsets. The Nokia C6, Nokia C3 and Nokia E5 are mid-range offerings, packing side-sliding QWERTY keyboard and great all-round connectivity.
The Nokia C3 is the first of three new messaging devices to break cover today. It’s also the first Series 40 device to come sporting a full QWERTY keyboard, but that’s not the only trick up its slender sleeve.
Designed to put messaging and social networking in the palm of your hand this tiny tyke comes packing access to your favourite Instant Messaging, social networking and email accounts, all courtesy of Nokia Messaging. Read on after the jump to find out what else is in store.
With Nokia Messaging comes one click access to Ovi Mail (for easy email account creation right on the device) and Ovi Chat (for keeping in touch with your friends). The Nokia C3 also boasts conversational SMS chat, so you can keep on top of your text dialogue and you’ll find your favourite contacts right there on the homescreen, where you’ll also see news and alerts.
Not content with just being a social butterfly the C3 also boasts Wi-Fi connectivity, a two-megapixel camera, 2.4-inch screen and support for up to 8GB of storage on a microSD card.
The C3 will be available in the second quarter of 2010 in a medley of colours including golden white, slate grey and not forgetting hot pink and is expected to retail at about €90 before taxes and subsidies.
Second out of the blocks today comes the all new Nokia C6. With a 3.2-inch HD touchscreen display and a slide out four-row QWERTY keyboard, the new C6 brings the best of messaging together with instant access to your favourite contacts and communications. Not to mention a five-megapixel camera and a very respectable seven hours of talktime (in GSM mode). Read on after the jump to find out what else it has in store.
The Nokia C6 boasts a customisable homescreen which will also play host to your favourite contacts, your latest emails and your friends’ Facebook updates. With Nokia Messaging on board, you have support for up to 10 email accounts from your favourite email hosts including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Ovi Mail.
The C6 also comes with a five-megapixel camera, support for up to 16GB of storage on microSD and an FM stereo radio. Not one to leave you stranded, the C6 also comes toting Ovi Maps with free walk and drive navigation.
The Nokia C6 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2010 for an estimated price of €220 before taxes and subsidies.
Today sees the unearthing of the Nokia E5, the latest addition to the Eseries stable, taking the best of the Nokia E71 and E72 and making something even better. Before we go through the raft of tasty features on board the Nokia E5, we should ponder on the battery life. 18 hours and 30 minutes talk time (in GSM mode). 29 days standby time. Yep, you read that right. The Nokia E5 is for perfect for anyone who doesn’t like charging their phone. Too often.
Packing the latest version of S60 3rd edition, the Nokia E5 boasts a suite of homescreen features including one-touch access to your favourite contacts, and your favourite social networks. It also boasts Facebook updates direct to your contacts list, so you can always see what your friends are up to and, as it packs the latest version of Nokia Messaging, you get full Instant Messaging functionality too.
Ovi Maps with free walk and drive navigation is on board, as is Ovi Store and with Nokia Messaging comes access to email on the go with support for multiple email accounts, including popular mail services such as Ovi Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and for the business folk, Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.
The Nokia E5’s screen is a 2.4-inch affair which is perfect for showing off snaps taken with the 5-megapixel camera. Below the screen comes two hot keys and dedicated buttons for both the homescreen and messaging and call start/answer and end buttons, the latter doubling as the on off button – like the C3.
Like the Nokia E71 and E72 before it, the Nokia E5 is a tidy little number with similar dimensions, though the E5 is approximately 2mm chubbier than it’s predecessors. On the plus side, it weighs in a whole 2 grams lighter than the E72. Before you say boo, though, did we mention the no-need-t0-charge-me-I-still-have-plenty-left battery life? Storage is taken care of with 250MB of on-board memory and support for up to 16GB on microSD.
Still looking for more? Go on then. The Nokia E5 comes in five mouth-watering colours – Carbon Black, Chalk White, Sky Blue, Copper Brown and Silver Gray.
The Nokia E5 is estimated to cost €180 before taxes and subsidies and is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2010.
