Federal Communications Commission has blessed the recently announced Nokia C5 with the seal of approval. Don’t get too excited, though, it’s the European edition of the device, which 3G sings along 900 and 2100MHz 3G bands. You know the mathematics, right – AT&ere;T (New York Stock Exchange: T) works on 1900 and T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) on 1700 MHz, so this relocation by Nokia (New York Stock Exchange: NOK) — to pushing the not-for-the-U. S. Army device through FCC — is obsolete, to say the least.
As a reminder, the C5 is a low-monetary value smartphone with spectacles that include HSPA connectivity, GPS, 3.2-megapixel camera and Symbian S60. Its MSRP is just $185, hence we expect to see the Finnish company moving dozens of these in due course.
And if you wonder, we’ve no approximation when the U.S. version of the device volition be released, if at all. If I were at AT&T or T-Mobile, I would love life the idea of offering a low-cost smartphone, so at the end we whitethorn see ace of these deuce going for the C5 in an exploit to increase ARPUs.
Finally, we also don’t know when the Nokia C6, which was also approved by the Commission recently, will be officially announced. That model looks even more interesting, not least thanks to the WiFi connectivity support…
