Nokia officially unveiled the Nokia C5 on Tuesday, an affordable smartphone optimized for social networking and sharing. I was actually surprised they introduced it on their Twitter and Facebook page before the press release. It’s fitted with a 2.2-inch screen, 240 x 320 resolution, 3.2 mp camera, 2GB microSD card, and more.

According to Nokia Conversations, the C5 measures 12 x 46 x 112mm. Battery life is good for up to 12 hours talktime (GSM) with a standby for 26 days between charges.

The Nokia C5 is expected to begin shipping in Europe, Eurasia, SEAP, China and MEA during the second quarter of 2010 for estimated EUR 135. There are no other Cseries devices announced as of yet, but this is how Nokia describes the line from the new naming conventions:

The new Cseries represents the core of Nokia portfolio, focusing on social interaction between friends and family.
