With rumours of the Nokia C5 circulating the internet, we wondered if Nokia was planning a refresh of the naming structure for its mobile phones, and it looks like we may have been right. It could be the death of names like Classic, and may lead to a much easier structure to get your head around, helping you to pick the best phone for you. To find out more, read on after the jump…

The emergence of the Nokia C-series, with the Nokia C5 the first handset to be spotted, fits in well with the E-series range that’s already on the market. The Nokia C5 looks like the re-invention of the Nokia 6700, but with a plastic body rather than a metal casing, so it had us wondering whether the C-series could become Nokia’s Classic range.

However, French website Tom’s Guide claims that the entire Nokia line-up will get a new naming structure, with all handsets based around the following five ranges:

C: Voice-centric handsets.

X: Targeting youth and providing entertainment.

E: Business focused.

N: High-end

S: Limited editions.

If this turns out to be correct, it’ll certainly make choosing from the tens of new phones Nokia has planned a lot easier. Simply decide your needs, and what category you fall into, and pick a handset from that range.
