Nokia C3

It’s also the first Series 40 device to come sporting a full QWERTY keyboard. It lacks 3G connectivity so network access is only possible via quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE. Built around a 2.4" 262K-color display of QVGA resolution and a full QWERTY keyboard, the C3 is a rare breed of S40 phones to have Wi-Fi connectivity. Designed to put messaging and social networking in the palm of your hand this tiny tyke comes packing access to your favourite Instant Messaging, social networking and email accounts, all courtesy of Nokia Messaging.
Not content with just being a social butterfly the C3 also boasts Wi-Fi connectivity, a two-megapixel camera, 2.4-inch screen and support for up to 8GB of storage on a microSD card.
This is definitely the best series 40 phone at the moment and one that I recommend for Kawaida people like me. As in the screen is big enough at 2.4 inches, it has a QWERTY keyboard, connectivity is well taken care of including the Wi-Fi and it is a messaging phone with Facebook integration. I also forgot to mention that it is cheap (considering all the features it has).

Nokia E5

Nokia E5, the latest addition to the Eseries stable, taking the best of the Nokia E71 and E72 and making something even better. It has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band 3G/HSDPA support and runs on the non-touch Symbian 3rd edition OS.
Before we go through the raft of tasty features on board the Nokia E5, we should ponder on the battery life. 18 hours and 30 minutes talk time (in GSM mode). 29 days standby time. Yep, you read that right. The Nokia E5 is for perfect for anyone who doesn’t like charging their phone. Too often.
Nokia E5 also sports a 5 megapixel fixed-focus camera with LED flash, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as well as GPS, a 3.5mm audio jack and microUSB port. A microSD card slot completes the list of noteworthy features. That's definitely the first fixed-focus 5 megapixel camera we've seen.
Packing the latest version of S60 3rd edition, the Nokia E5 boasts a suite of home screen features including one-touch access to your favourite contacts, and your favourite social networks. It also boasts Facebook updates direct to your contacts list, so you can always see what your friends are up to and, as it packs the latest version of Nokia Messaging, you get full Instant Messaging functionality too.

Ovi Maps with free walk and drive navigation is on board, as is Ovi Store and with Nokia Messaging comes access to email on the go with support for multiple email accounts, including popular mail services such as Ovi Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and for the business folk, Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.

The Nokia E5’s screen is a 2.4-inch affair which is perfect for showing off snaps taken with the 5-megapixel camera. Below the screen comes two hot keys and dedicated buttons for both the home screen and messaging and call start/answer and end buttons, the latter doubling as the on off button – like the C3.

Nokia C6

Nokia C6

The side-slider Nokia C6 runs on Symbian S60 5th edition (a.k.a. Symbian^1) and packs quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and quad band 3G with HSDPA. It comes with a 3.2" touch screen of nHD resolution, capable of displaying up to 16M colors.

The new C6 brings the best of messaging together with instant access to your favourite contacts and communications. Not to mention a five-megapixel camera and a very respectable seven hours of talk time (in GSM mode).

The Nokia C6 boasts a customizable home screen which will also play host to your favourite contacts, your latest emails and your friends’ Facebook updates. With Nokia Messaging on board, you have support for up to 10 email accounts from your favourite email hosts including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Ovi Mail.

It has an internal memory of 250mb and a card slot for up to 16 GB. There is also Wi-Fi on board and a 5 megapixels autofocus camera. There is also GPS with Ovi maps preloaded.

The Nokia C6 is a much improved Nokia 5800 with a slide out QWERTY keyboard and you could even put it side by side with the Nokia N97.
