Your Nokia C5-03 is so much more than just a phone, and one of its more useful extras is the on-board calendar. Here we took a quick run through getting started with this handy utility, and the features and functions it has to offer.
The 3.2-inch touchscreen on the Nokia C5-03 is well suited to the grid-like arrangement of your standard calendar, and the easy-to-use Symbian S60 5th Edition interface does its part too to make the calendar on board this mid-range C Series handset a breeze to get to grips with.

Let's get started then – press the Menu button then tap the Calendar icon (it should be the first icon of them all on the top-left of the screen).
The default view when you open the calendar for the first time is the month view, which shows the days of the current month set out in columns for each day of the week. Tap on a specific day and any entries for that day are shown in the area below, while you can move to the next or previous month using the directional arrows above the calendar.
You're not restricted to this view, however, and the left-most of three softkeys at the bottom of the screen enables you to switch to either a weekly or daily view, or to view all to-do notes in a single list.
The other two softkeys enable you to add a meeting or a to-do note in whatever view you're in, though there are also options to add a memo or anniversary through the Options menu.
Let's take a quick run-through of each calendar entry type, and what they offer.
First there's the meeting, which you can add with the middle icon along the bottom. You're able to enter a name and location, as well as start and end times – or even start and end dates if it runs over more than one day.
Next is the all-purpose to-do note, which is the right-hand softkey. Here you can add a subject, due date, whether you want to associate an alarm as a reminder as well as the level of priority.
You can also add an anniversary, by tapping Options, then Add entry, then Anniversary. Again, some key info is required, and then you tap Done to insert the anniversary in your calendar.
Your final option is to insert a memo into your calendar, which follows the same process. Unlike any of the other entry types, however, here you're given an open text entry window to tap away whatever you like. Think of it like a sticky note for your calendar.
With these basics in hand you're ready to start using your calendar, and the rest is up to you. You'll notice that there are visual cues on your calendar to show that specific dates have calendar entries associated with them, and you can edit existing entries by tapping on them, hitting Options and then Edit.
The Options menu is also where you can change global settings ranging from the default view that appears when you launch the calendar down to the repeat duration of any alarms you've set.
