Nokia unveiled their C5 smartphone yesterday, and today the device made an appearance on the FCC.  The C5 is the first offering in Nokia’s line of C-Series devices and is targeted towards the economical consumer market.

The C5 is an S60 3rd edition device that sports a 2.2” QVGA display (320×240), 3.2 MP camera (with flash) and FM radio.  Although the C5 is targeted at the lower end of the smartphone market, the device still offers a pretty impressive range of features, including GPS mapping, access to Nokia’s Ovi portal, video calling and video sharing.

According to Nokia, the C5 will be released in Q2 2010, and will be available in EMEA and Asia for about $185.  There’s no word if the phone will be released in the US, however.  The C5 is a quad band GSM device, so it will work in the States.  But with support for only WCDMA bands I and VIII, you won’t have 3G with the C5.

Nokia’s C6 mid-range QWERTY phone first appeared earlier this month, and today the device popped up on the FCC as the RM-612Nokia’s declaration of conformity site confirms that the RM-612 is indeed the C6.

Test report documents indicate that the C6 is a quad-band GSM device with support for WCDMA bands I, II and VIII.  The device also rocks Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g.

The C6 bears a strong likeness to Palm’s discontinued Centro mobile phone.  Perhaps the C6 will be an alternative for former Centro users in the US.

Nokia 5233 – S60, quad-band goodness from Finland

The Nokia 5233 made an appearance on the FCC today.  The 5233 is similar to the 5230, which was announced back in August.  However, the 5233 only supports EDGE, there is no 3G mentioned in the device’s Test Report.

The 5233’s user manual makes several references to China, so it appears that this device may not make it to the States.  It would be nice, however, to learn when Nokia plans to release either the 5230 or 5233…both S60 devices offer a pretty solid feature set that includes a 3.2” screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and ton of multimedia options.

A2DP goodness from Finland

Nokia passed this decent-looking A2DP headset through the FCC today.  Known as the BH-505, the device has a behind the head design and provides a complete suite of music and call controls.

There’s not a lot new here – generally I like the behind the head design for Bluetooth headphones.  However, this design does make it difficult to find buttons and the lack of a boom mic can affect call quality.

No word on pricing or availability.

This colorful device from Nokia passed through the FCC today.  While it’s light on features, the 2220 is certainly trendy – the device is available in a variety of teen girl-friendly colors from the red/pink/purple side of the color spectrum.  The 2220 does give you core SMS, email, IM, camera and media playing features, as well as nice to have extras like an FM radio.

Nokia has already introduced the 2220 in Europe, but today’s FCC filing suggests that this 850/1900 GSM device will be coming to the States.
