Nokia C5 seemingly leaked, but don't expect much

It's been a little while since Nokia locked up the Cseries trademark, and it looks like they're finally putting it to good use here following the Xseries launch a few months back -- but don't break out your party pants just yet, because it looks like this could be Nokia's new catch-all bucket for the low-end Symbian gear. The so-called C5 that's been leaked on Daily Mobile looks like a possible 6124 Classic successor thanks to a 3.2 megapixel cam, full HSPA, microSD expansion, AGPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, S60 3.2, and... well, a rather classic candybar design. Given the overwhelming realness of the site's shots, we're going to go ahead and assume that it's legit and planned for an MWC reveal later this month -- and considering Nokia's global low-cost domination strategy for Symbian, this might be priced very, very aggressively.

not very exciting

If this is the low end phone that's supposed to go with the emerging market strategy they were pushing Nokia is going to own the world.

It may not be the most exciting phone out (n900 ftw!) ,but a sturdy phone with s60 apps sold cheap will probably sell like crazy and as the emerging markets mature odds are if they loved their first Nokia they'll stay with that ecosystem and keep buying Nokias.

@yomachaser,
Looks like someone has it figured out. I'm posting about this on Symbian Freak in a couple hours, and I'm glad to see we think alike.
