We recently looked at how to keep your Nokia C5-03 looking and feeling fresh by changing the Theme. However, there's an even easier way of giving your phone a new look, and one that's potentially a lot more personal too: you can simply change your Homescreen wallpaper. We take a look at how to go about it after the break.
The Nokia C5-03's standard wallpaper is attractive enough, but you'll invariably want to change it at some point – either just to have something new to look at, or to replace it with a favourite pic or one of your nearest and dearest.

Fortunately, switching your wallpaper image on the Nokia C5-03 is quick and easy, so there's nothing stopping you from changing it as often as you like.
If you're looking to take a pic on the spot and use it as your wallpaper, you'll first need to get that part out of the way. Fire up the camera, either through the Homescreen widget if you have one or through Menu / Applications / Camera. Take the photo you wish to use, then return to the Homescreen.
To actually change the wallpaper, press the Menu button, then tap Gallery. This is a one-stop shop to access all the media stored on board the Nokia C5-03 itself or any memory card you have slotted in, whether it's photos, videos, songs or other media.
Select the top option – Images & photos – and you'll be presented with thumbnail images of all the photos and videos on your phone in a grid formation. You can only set photos as wallpapers, not video clips – but you can easily identify and avoid the latter by the small film icon on the bottom right of the thumbnail.
Once you've located the picture you wish to use as your background, tap on it to select it and it will appear in full-screen mode. Tap anywhere on the image to bring up the menu options, then tap Options on the bottom left of the screen. Note that if you're taking a photo directly and want to load it up as a wallpaper straight away, you can pick up the process here after taking the snap.
From the menu that appears, tap Use image, then Set as wallpaper. And that's all there is to it – once you return to the Homescreen, you'll see your chosen image is now set in the background, giving your Nokia C5-03 a fresh new look that's personal to you.
