The Nokia C5-03 and Nokia 5800 have many similarities. While the Nokia 5800 was the first touchscreen to be released by Nokia, the Nokia C5-03 is the first of a new design. They both come with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, and both run the Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system. However, there are quite a few things that split them apart. We’ve lined the Nokia C5-03 and the Nokia 5800 side-by-side for a photo-shoot, so find out which one is right for you: Nokia C5-03 or Nokia 5800.

The Nokia C5-03 has finally hit the stores and we’ve been impressed with how sleek and nibble this entry-level smartphone is. The nicely rounded design is a fresh take on the Nokia 5800 and does away with the heavy lip around the edge, as well as a more refined three-button layout on the front. What’s more, you’ll find it weighs less, takes up less space and slips into a skinny jeans pocket with ease.

There are other clear reasons why the Nokia C5-03 makes a great upgrade from the Nokia 5800. There is the inclusion of a 5-Megapixel camera, for one, which kind of knocks the socks off the 3.2-MP found on the Nokia 5800. Meanwhile, you’ll also find larger storage capacity and support for a wider range of memory cards.

You’ll also find the Nokia C5-03 comes packed with everything you need to stay mobile, from Ovi Maps and A-GPS, to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Overall, it’s a cracking little handset and with a price of just £189 (inc. VAT) SIM free from Nokia Online, it’s well worth the money.
