Nokia’s C1 and C2 series try hard not to break even the smallest of banks
It looks like Nokia's conversion from the time-tested four-digit naming scheme to the one-letter, one-number strategy may be nearing completion now that the company has announced a new series of ultra-low end candybars that all have homes within the Cseries . The C1 is actually a three-pack of phones -- the C1-00, C1-01, and C1-02 -- all of which feature Nokia's longest standby time ever (quoted at six weeks ) along with a color display, integrated flashlight, 3.5mm headphone hack, and FM radio; the 01 and 02 variants add microSD slots, while the 01 also features a VGA camera and the 00 becomes Nokia's very first dual-SIM device to hit the market. The C2 is also a dual-SIM device, but unlike the C1-00, the C2 can keep both SIMs active simultaneously, meaning you'll be able to get calls and messages to either SIM without manually switching.

Nokia’s mid-tier ‘Mystic’ to be dubbed C6, will hit stores in May or June?
We can't say we were overwhelmed by the first leaked photos of what we've come to know as the Nokia Mystic , but there's something about this QWERTY candybar form factor that Nokia just does so well that we have to hang onto the benefit of the doubt.

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

Nokia rumors: Xseries is XpressMusic successor, new Nseries touchphone in ’09?
Filed under: Handsets , Nokia , Linux , Symbian German site NokiaPort has rounded up a nice little cache of juicy Nokia details that it says is culled from "official information from Nokia, confirmed rumors and reputable sources of information," and while we can't personally vouch for most of what we're seeing here, it's all sounding reasonable enough -- and with Nokia World right around the corner, we figured this would be a grand opportunity to lay it out and see how the chips fall. First up, Cseries and Xseries are said to be presented at the show, with the first Xseries model being an upgraded version of the just-launched 5530 XpressMusic with 3G thrown in, probably spelling doom for the 5800 -- in other words, Xseries is very likely a wholesale rebranding of the XpressMusic line, which totally makes sense. Speaking of touchscreens and Nokia branding, the site says that we'll see another touchscreen Nseries model to keep the N97 company before the year's out, followed by Eseries' first S60 5th Edition model in 2010
