is ideal for someone who spends a lot of time with social media, would like a decent camera, gps and perhaps would like the option of listening to the radio. The very same people perhaps find many of the smartphones presently on the market unnecessarily complicated and expensive.

Now that Nokia have declared that they will be making far fewer smartphone models this year and that they will be placing greater focus on lower end models we thought we would take a look at one of them the Nokia C5.

This smartphone should perhaps be reclassified as a slightly clever phone because as a smartphone it is quite a bit behind the running. It has little support for apps and is quite limited in functionality apart from social media. However it is honest about what it is and very competitively priced the Nokia C5 will cost just over £100.

This candybar device runs on the 3rd generation of the Symbian OS and has a 2.2 inch display screen and a digital camera of 3.2 megapixels.

While it falls short of other smartphones on the market it really does the job when it comes to social bookmarking it has facilities for all the major email outlets such as Gmail and Yahoo plus you can fully interact with Facebook have access to all your contacts and view their contact information.

The on-board GPS has the all new Ovi Maps and offers turn by turn navigation as standard it will possibly be the best value sat nav phone on the market.

Nokia’s C5 also supports audio has FM radio and a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports a memory of up to 16gb.

Battery life is excellent with 12 hours of talk time and you will not need to charge it for up for about 3 weeks if you take care with it on standby.
