Great smartphone: light, fast and easy to use.,
Thru the years I found Nokia to make some of the best phones and this one is not an exception. I bought it because it is a 4 band (world) unlocked GSM, very light and small indeed, full touchscreen, responsive, quick and accurate typing, overall the phone works fast, has a bit slow GPS (when not assisted) with free maps and nice voice navigation, good WiFi, working radio, good loud speaker and call quality, decent email (old style) and normal camera, also the battery supposed to last longer. Overall, it does well what it supposed to do for the price of $180. There is one important thing, the US model has UMTS (3G bands) 900/1900/2100, so the 1900 works with AT&T, but no 850 AT&T or 1700 T-mobile. Strange, but the box label and some of the Amazon description are both wrong as they show 1700. I confirmed that with Nokia as well and the phone is working fast on AT&T 3G on 1900. The phone is made in Mexico, that’s fine. It has the plastic look, but it is the simple clean design and the cute shape that makes it look neat too. I am not sure why there is no variety of colors on the US market like elsewhere, that is rather frustrating. The operating system is the typical Nokia, no news there.

Stop selling this phone,
This phone should not be sold any more and Nokia should stop making it.
I love Nokia phones, in fact the E61i was one of my favorite phones, but if you can’t make a touch-screen phone properly then don’t make it. The touch-screen on the C5-03 is a joke. On average I had to tap the screen 2-3 times in order to get a click or selection!!! How efficient is that!?
Entering text was another nightmare. The keyboard that would pop up in an input field was a numeric keypad. What!? What happened to a full keyboard? Oh yeah, you have to rotate the phone horizontally. Come on. This is childish stuff. At a minimum, Nokia should pop up an extended numeric keypad (one extra column of keys, like the blackberrys do). Oh oh, and get this! They give you an option to scribble the letters, ha ha ha! The scribble area is about the size of my thumb. How am I suppose to scribble each letter here?
Then you wonder why Nokia is loosing mobile market share.
Anyways, do not buy this phone; it’s a waste of your money and time. After playing with the phone for an hour, I called Amazon and asked for a refund.

Not Good enough !,
Pros:
1) good camera
2) decent UI
3) OVI maps, you wont need a gps.
Cons:
1) Lots of apps dont work on this phone. My biggest issue was google maps not working as walking directions are very important to me and this was a deal breaker.
2) Resistive Touch screen- Response to touch is not as good as capacitive. You might have to press hard.
3) Phone kept hanging and had to be restarted.
Returned the item. back to e71x.
