Nokia planning a new line of handsets dubbed Cseries
Interesting, very interesting. We are all familiar with the branding nightmare that is Nokia’s higher-end line of phones. Eseries for business, Nseries for fun — but even fanboy blogs seem to have a tough time remembering how to spell the brands. E-series, N Series, E-Series, n series and so on. These lines have been around for long enough however, that Nokia is basically stuck with them at this point. As a matter of fact, it may even be expanding. By way of the Finnish blog Puhelinvertailu, it looks like Nokia filed a trademark application for “Cseries” back in April of this year. The new series, assuming Nokia does in fact get the trademark and make use of this new branding, could be for a number of things. We could see some of Nokia’s numbered phones, maybe the Symbian-powered models, move over to Cseries. Or perhaps we’ll see an entirely new line of Maemo devices bearing the Cseries name; we never did understand why Nokia slapped an “N” on its last two tablets. Speculation aside for the time being, the “E” in “Eseries” stands for Enterprise and the “N” in “Nseries” stand for, umm, eNtertainment? Not enterprise? Nokia? Whatever — the question here is what will the “C” in “Cseries” stand for if Nokia does in fact bring it to market?

Ummm… let’s see here. Maybe it’s going to be the Cheap series (price, not quality).
Cassette series!!!!!! They’ll play little cassette tapes!!!! WEEE!!
“C” could be for “Computer”, an ultra high end computing device!
C for CDMA! Let’s get some phones to VZ that are worth a sh!t
Or it could simply mean Consumer Series
There’s not much 2 digit combos left for the N-Series. All that’s left is N87, N88, N89, N98, N99 so yeah…they better find a new line to replace this unless they go 3 digits
C-series = Cooling-series!
A Mobile devices with integrated refrigerator for hot summer days!
I think we are going to see a new tablet at Nokia World in Stuttgart called C-?? A successor to the N810.
And there are rumors that a new Communicator is coming Q2/2010!
if i were a gambling man, i would have to go with Achronicles’ guess: consumer. and in my opinion, as long as the “c” doesn’t stand for crap, it’s all good to me.
Consumer Series
cr@p..??
I thought it stood for classic, as their budget handsets are sometimes called classic and they don’t have a *series as of yet.
Cool teen sparkling “in” fashion Series.
C stands for Android, I am sure.
Cdma
Good ones please nokia.
C = Classic
C = Consumer
C = Custom

i hope its to go to the next level and compete with iphone and android. Maybe it stands for “C”an’t wait for a “C”aptive screen touch phone from Nokia
the logical assumption is that the c series will be a replacement for the n series. Considering the n series has almost reached 100 aka a century.
For example a phone dubbed the C1 would stand for 100 and 1 and be equivalent to the N101.
C from CDMA. Nokia said it will develop a whole new range of CDMA phones to regain the American Market.
Convergence…Nokia has been preaching about this since 2 months back
It stands for “Cardboard”, it will be an ultra low-end model.
I am sure, it will stand for “CLASSIC SMART PHONES”.. made with all metal..
Imagine a symbian handset in metallic or NOKIA ARTE/8800 powered by S60..

nokia c series stands for crap series, probably. remember the phones you could change the covers? that might be the fate for the c-series.
to me, the only usable nokia phones is the e-series. it has solid build quality (metals instead of cheap plastic) and the features i need.
would prefer the iphone, though.
