Default Nokia C5?

Okay, so I am thinking that I should buy a new cell phone, and I like the new Nokia C5.

However, and this a major issue, it doesn't have WiFi. I don't really need expensive smartphone so I am wondering if anyone can suggest a similar model with WiFi and free GPS (just like the Nokia OviMaps where you download the map and off you go, no need to stream data off the interwebs or anything), in the same price range? Decent camera would be a plus. I don't care much about other bells and whistles.

Suggestions?

You can look at another Nokia, as most of them have the free Ovi Maps for navigation. If that and WiFi are your only criteria, then there are many nokia's that you could look at. Do you have any other preferences?

I looked at other Nokia's but I only found Nokia 5230 in the same price range, and it doesn't have wifi either. Right now I'm deciding between these two Nokias.

Other models are way too expensive (I am not going to bundle it with a plan, so that' not an option). The next closest thing to what I want is Samsung S8000 but that cell iis almost twice as expensive. So I guess I'm S-O-L if I want wifi, GPS and free offline maps...

You can get a unlocked nokia e63 for 200 + Tax, has wifi, qwerty keyboard and wifi. If you want to stick with touch screen nokia's, maybe the 5530? it is 229 plus tax, has wifi but no 3g.
