Even though Nokia has not been well in the last few years in the high-end smartphone segment, you can safely say that one thing that Nokia is extremely good in making the budget smartphones. It has recently launched the Nokia C5-03, which is expected to offer touchscreen phone capabilities to a wider class of people, who have so far been starved by the presence of absolutely no touch screen phones in this segment.

The Nokia C5-03 has a 3.2 inch resistive touch screen display. The fact that Nokia has been able to offer this phone at incredibly low prices has meant that it has a slightly compensate on some of the features and the resistive technology is a result of it. The use of the resistive screen has been slightly offset by the inclusion of the handwriting recognition feature. It is an option that is not even present in the Nokia N8 and the Nokia C5-03 is one of the few remaining phones to be offering this feature. The phone does not have proximity sensor, but it does have accelerometer in to switch between the portrait modes and the landscape modes. Nokia has given the phone with 40 MB of memory to play with internally. ...
... While this is nowhere sufficient for a phone that has so many multimedia capabilities, the presence of the 2 GB card that is included in the phone will be sufficient.

One can also use up to 16 GB memory cards in the Nokia C5-03. The operating system that is being used in the Nokia C5-03 is the Symbian S60 fifth edition operating system. Yes, there will be many who will be thinking that this is an out-dated operating system. However, the fact that it is extremely low cost and can still do the job when called upon to make it extremely user-friendly. The operating system also requires very less processing speed enough to run more efficiently. Hence, Nokia has been able to save on the processing segment of things as well. The Nokia C5-03 uses the 600 MHz ARM 11 processor and it is helped by the presence of 128 MB of RAM. The Nokia C5-03 comes with a five megapixel camera. It is not an autofocus camera, not just have any features like Flash and so on. However, it would more than to the job because it is better than any other camera in this segment on the megapixel count.

The camera also comes with the VGA video recording option, which can be done at 15 frames per second. Even though the phone has decidedly compromised on certain features like the operating system and the touch screen display technology, Nokia has provided this phone with plenty of connectivity options to alleviate the disappointment of not having the latest technologies in those segments. The connectivity options that are present in this phone include 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This phone retails for £189 in the United Kingdom and it can also be purchased in the contract options as well.
