When he became the affordable touchscreen his popularity soared - affordable smartphones are hot right now. The Nokia C5-03 is the result of these two trends and at the same time it takes a lot of the C6-01 in terms of design, its price is much lower.
Designed for a low price segment their look alike ^ 3 Symbian, Nokia C5-03 has some of its technical specifications adopted by a notch.

Nokia is a C5-03 grand-son of the bestselling Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and although this could be the last lap for Symbian ^ 1 (or Symbian S60 that old timers call it), he tries to provide the same level of satisfaction on the bang for the meter money.

C5-03 is a very gadget friendly environment - 80% of the body of the phone is recyclable, while half of the packaging comes from recycled materials (and all that is in turn recyclable).
It's a cheap phone with broadband connectivity with HSDPA and HSUPA 2Mbps 10.2Mbps. C5-03 packs also the fastest processors available on a Nokia S60 device - 600MHz effective but the former Symbian just flies.
The freedom to voice-guided navigation is the single biggest advantage of Symbian Nokias, who is still unmatched by any other brand or platform. The Nokia C5-03 is a faithful SatNav unit, which operates around the world for free - you can download all the maps you need (do not cost a thing) and Ovi Maps do not need a connection Data at work.
